![]() you will get the divine essence of the dead god contaminating the area. Mystra and the Dead Three above had their duties given to ascended mortals - Midnight the mage, Cyric the rogue, and later Kelemvor the warrior. Sometimes, like Ibrandul, this meant an extant god eating the portfolio of another. What happens can vary - in the case of the Avatar Trilogy, the responsibilities of the dead gods were taken by new ones. Sadly, most of them did so long ago and offscreen - Moander the Darkbringer, Tyche, Murdane, Auppenser, Aumanator. Even before them, however, gods have died on Toril. This was all part of the changeover from 1E to 2E in Realmslore, the rationale for why the world (read: the rules) ended up slightly different. Mystra (not the current Mystra, her predecessor) was another of the more notable deities who went kaboom. Each one had the bad luck to be forced down to Toril in mortal form (just like all the other gods) by Ao and catching a slight case of death. They're not the only ones - just some of the many who had themselves a very bad day during the Time of Troubles. If you want some dead gods, come on down to the Avatar Trilogy, where Bane got Banedead, Bhaal rolled over, Myrkul went from being God of the Dead to dead of the god, and other such fun events.
