How long until they begin to do stuff with dead and missing deities? For example, one found a way to place his power into a chosen or an artifact before disappearing and this eventually lead to a discovery rebirthing the deity. I'm sure it will happen, just looking for bets and comments and which ones and how.

-How long? Who knows. I'd expect, in the future, novels, online DRAGON articles and DDI articles to deal with this topic, and shed some further illumination.

Any bets on who will be first?

-Mask. Rich Baker has specifically stated that the deal with Mask was not in the book intentionally, as not to spoil the ending to Paul Kemp's Twilight War trilogy. That comes out in December.

That's one book I'm looking forward to.

Not sure who would come next....

The cosmology section mentions that mask's domain is periodically inhabited by mask's chosen, so i figure at least one survives.

Former Chosen. As per the FRCG, there are currently no known Chosen in the Realms.

and yet there will be a path in the FRPlayer's Guide called Chosen which I guess will be Epic.

Well yes. It'll possible to become a Chosen. But at the start of the (official) 4E FR campaign, there are no known Chosen in the Realms.

According to page 72 in the Campaign book it says "The post-Spellplague world includes no Chosen who are not exarches."

So it sounds like there are indeed Chosen at the start.

Now,

According to page 72 in the Campaign book it says "The post-Spellplague world includes no Chosen who are not exarches."

However,

According to page 69 in the Campaign book it says "Since Mask's disappearance, his Chosen sometimes occupy the keep.

Those (2) bits of information seem to be in conflict unless they are now exarchs.

Thoughts?

You know what I meant.

-If they live on a world other than Abeir-Toril, or on another plane, that would make both work.
