In a game my friend ran in the Forgotten Realms, the gods had been cast down, not killed and all their powers were in physical form on Toril for those with the ability to claim them to become gods. None were easy to obtain. My insane, winged, albino gobling fighter/sorc. ended up finding the portfolio of magic. He later gathered the shards of Mystra (one of the only gods to have actually died) and used his own divine powers to return her to power, keeping chaos magic for himself. If the Sun god has the powers of the dead gods, it will be hard to have them return. While you may be able to bring them back to life, they wouldn't have any divine power. The Sun god would either have to give the powers back, or they would have to be taken, which would be no easy task. Having the unborn child become the a god is a cool idea. The old god is dead and gone, so it's personality is unlikely to take over. It then becomes a matter of when the child becomes aware, if he becomes a god in the womb there could be an unpleasent surprise for his mother. If he doesn't become a god untill later in life, his mother will surely play a role in who he becomes. As a childlike god, he could be very emotional and impulsive, he would also have no real concept of morality. Nature could still be alive as a semi sentient oak, or mountain, or a forest. Perhaps with his "death" a certain fey stopped being born, and to resurect him you'd have to see that one was born in his presence, and it would provide a more permanent place for his power.just a few thoughts</blockquote>
