I'm not such an evil AllFather as to let a good player leave the game only because his character is no more

Maybe it's not my place to say it, but if you actually wanted to be married to Syl, you might want to re-evaluate your life... :P

I only wish Simjen could make use of his extra worshippers. :(
HAHA. I never thought of that. Mabye Xar will allow them to go to Hedra.

Brother, the rule Maeror is talking about does exist. Whether Argothoth had pursued this course, and been denied, I do not know.
RESURRECTION

Just as deities can die, deities can also return from the netherworld. Upon death, deities do not enter the afterlife ruled by the King of the Dead, like mortals do, but they exist in a state of eternal slumber. Any deity who died due to lack of worshipers can return to waking life if his or her cult rises again; this can be an event inspired by other deities, or due to pure chance. If enough worshipers gather for the deity to return to Divine Rank 1, the deity returns from the dead and rejoins the pantheon. If the deity's spheres of influence had been claimed by someone else, the deity immediately recovers them, stripping them from the usurper. The deity will likely have to rebuild his clergy, religion and holy sites from scratch, although he could always try to restore the old ones.
Deities killed by other deities (see Deicide, above) cannot return from the dead.
Xar can clear this up if he chooses, but I do not believe this rule is necessarily an inter-Game rule. I do not believe that, if a deity from P1 somehow comes back to "life" in P2, that deity has a greater claim to a domain s/he held in P1 than the deity in P2 who holds it.

Ah...

Now that could be.

I still have a lot to learn of the intricacies of these here RPGs..

Unfortunately, Simjen fought Neph after voting was done. I asked Xar to consider making the ranking honorary, but I think it would've been too hard to retally the votes accordingly. Nice work, all. I'm glad you liked the story.

It depends on how much the P2 deity is acting according to that domain; if he/she is completely ignoring it, then the returned deity can easily claim it. If he/she is using it and acting accordingly, then the returned deity cannot.

Let me guess...

Only the AllFather can make that determination?

Smart, very smart ;) But of course, it's relatively easy to empirically determine that, either... if the player is not acting according to his domains (say a god of battle who constantly pursues peace, a god of malice who wishes to make sure everybody is happy and doesn't harm anyone, a god of order who attempts to create chaos among the other deities, and so on) chances are he's vulnerable to domain stealing.

Well...yeah.

But, would either involved deity have any recourse to explaining why they might disagree with the AllFather's determination?

A wise man named Severian wrote:We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges. When soldiers take their oath they are given a coin, an asimi stamped with the profile of the Autarch. Their acceptance of that coin is their acceptance of the special duties and burdens of military life--they are soldiers from that moment, though they may know nothing of the management of arms. I did not know that then, but it is a profound mistake to believe that we must know of such things to be influenced by them, and in fact to believe so is to believe in the most debased and superstitious kind of magic. The would-be sorcerer alone has faith in the efficacy of pure knowledge; rational people know that things act of themselves or not at all.
