Dead Gods of the Astral Plane Explained | D&D Lore
Dead gods drift silently through the Astral Plane... but how does a god actually die in Dungeons & Dragons? In this deep-dive, we explore the fate of fallen deities in the Astral Sea. From gods who fade after losing their followers, to those slain in divine wars, to catastrophic events like Karsus’s Folly, this episode uncovers the many ways divinity can end. Discover the haunting remains of these once-powerful beings, floating endlessly in the Astral Plane, and the mysteries that still surround them. Perfect for fans of D&D lore, Forgotten Realms history, and cosmic worldbuilding. Further Reading for Aspiring Candlekeep Sages: Honestly, so much Planescape stuff. It's wild. Go check it out!
