Killing Gods

[trentonjoe]

The new web excerpt for Races of Faerun mentions that Gruumish the orc god killed the Mulhorand god Re in battle. That got me thinking what other gods have died.

These are the ones I can think of please add more.

Mystra, Bane, Bhal, Myrkul all die (sorta) during the time of troubles.

Leira is killed by Cyric (I think) sometime after that.

Moander is killed by adventurers most notably the demigod bard guy Finder WYnerspur or something.

Pshhhhhhhh Moander isnt dead.

Dont believe me? Check out the link in my sig =)

Angelsboi,

Sadly to say, many FR followers would say otherwise.

As for the godslaying thing, are you asking generally or just in D&D history?

Earthmother died, and then came back to life, I think? And then Baal died?

Been a while since I read Moonshae books, forget how it resolved.

Generally speaking - Diomedes temporarily 'killed' (dispelled to Olympus) Ares at the siege of Troy.

Loki killed Baldur in Norse myth.

Didn't Set kill Horus or Osiris?

Set Killed Osirus, and then Isus raised him, IIRC (though a non-D&D person might describe those events differently)

D&D history.

D&D history.

Are you asking about the FR only or D&D in general?

Are you asking about the FR only or D&D in general?

I guess in general. I know next to nothing about campaign settings other than the realms.


Maybe a better answer is I am MOST interested in the Realms but still interested in others.

If it's DnD in general then from planescape there is Aoskar the old god of Sigil the city of doors and replaced by the Lady
