The 3rd edition “Planer’s Handbook” mentions that the realm of Maanzecorian is collapsing. I have looked on-line for some information and found a few fan sites that deal a little bit with the aftereffects of the death of Maanzecorian. Some of them are interesting, but they also contradict each other. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an official account of the consequences and planer effects of the death of Maanzecorian? What exactly happens when a god dies and its realm starts to collapse? Is it a violent explosion, or is it an implosion? Does the realm shift into the astral plane? Does it return to the non-realm land of the plane?

The Illithiad may have details on his realm in Gehenna before his death. As for what happens to a deific realm after a deity dies, I would say it slowly crumbles and merges back with the essence of the plane it was formed from. That's how I've treated Maanzicorian's realm in my own game, along with a number of cranium rat's going free willed at the moment of maanzicorian's death and now hiding from Illsensine to avoid being reclaimed by their original maker. :D (Yes, I let a player play a free willed cranium rat hive in a one shot evil game I ran. Man that was fun. Far too many Pinky and the Brain jokes though. hehe.)
