Godsend: The death of gods as a narrative tool in Theros and beyond
Godsend explores how to tell stories that focus on the deaths of gods, through the frame of the weapon Godsend, used by the hero Elspeth Tirel to slay the usurper god Xenagos, only to have it turned on her by another fearful god.
This book provides a short compilation of rules and ideas for telling a story on Theros or other worlds in which a (likely mortal) character, player or non-player, kills a god. The aim of this piece is not to stat-up gods for epic battles as a final boss fight. Instead, the stories this will help tell are the realities of what happens when a god is killed. What becomes of their domain? How will others, both gods and mortals, react?
