"Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." :D

I suppose it's the nature of gods to be beyond mortal comprehension, so that does a lot to explain why characters can't really be sure whether or not a god who has been struck down is well and truly dead. But for some reason or another, everyone seems pretty certain that Myrkul is no longer around (though it's probably something to do with thousands of Waterdhavians watching him get blasted to flinders during the Time of Troubles).

But then again, he may have had a back-up plan like Bane and Bhaal did....

Doesn't it seem like it's usually Evil gods and Good gods dying off or killing each other in the Forgotten Realms? Maybe they need to take a lesson from those aforementioned sea gods; Deep Sashelas and Umberlee have never seen eye to eye, for obvious reasons, but their rivalry has never come to blows because they've always had Istishia to mediate and keep some sort of peace or balance between the two, and whatever Istishia says, Deep Sashelas heeds and Umberlee (however reluctantly) heeds too. So which Neutral god would be capable of smoothing things over between Bane and the Triad? Or Ilmater and Loviatar? Or Cyric and...well, everyone else? :P
