[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 3829466, member: 54846"] Several points. I assume the Pcs aren't the murderers. So, "Where they are" doesn't really matter. WHO killed the God may not really impact the reprecussions unless someone snatches the portfolio. IF the Gods exist, then they're probably supplying the magic to their worshipers. It would be rather odd if the Gods exist, but aren't responsible for their priests getting magic. As to "How do you kill a concept", simple: change it. How do you change The Fury? Make her obsolete - kill passion, kill emotion and anger. The Quori are doing it by making everyone dull and stifled. Or do something to the Fury so that her current form - unbridled and disastrous - is no more. Alter her, so that she only inspires love, creativity, without the "Dark" side. Thus the dangerous part of the Fury "dies", and you get your dead god - the part that used to be the Fury "dies", taking the dark baggage with it. An example of "Change = killing" is Cyre. The national identity, the belief and culture and essence of Cyre, is dead. The Mournland killed it. The body is there, and some of the people are there, but the [i]meaning[/i] is so tarnished it's gone. IF you kill a god and its worshipers just keep on trucking, their divine magic unaffected... what's the point? [/QUOTE]
