In that setting, the death of a god had some fairly significant immediate consequences (essentially, a retributive strike effect hit the area). However, the long-term effects were pretty muted, as the gods were essentially humans writ large - they weren't particularly revered as of greater moral character, merely held in awe for their greater capabilities. Therefore, there wasn't really a lot of worship to crumble.In another game, the gods are very distant and seemingly uncaring (not dissimilar to the gods in Eberron). Here, a goddess was declared dead by a particularly powerful (NPC) human mystic. As this was one of the key events of the campaign, this then actually resulted in the death of the goddess (long story...). In this instance, the only immediate consequence was that the clerics of the goddess immediately lost all access to all powers. However, as the goddess in question was the patron of silver in a particular empire, the people of the empire developed an aversion to the use of silver. Suddenly, the coin of the realm lost all value, and the economy collapsed. That empire is now rapidly falling inot decline.</blockquote>
