As the Gith's main army marched on a massive scale.
Over in the World of Toril.
After enduring the initial period of utter chaos.
The many Church Factions that had been immersed in the false news that their own gods had fallen.
After consolidating intelligence from all sides, they were horrified to discover that the problem was not limited to their own side. Every Church of Gods had encountered major trouble...
Even the churches established by the most mysterious Lady of Black Night and Lady of Silver Moon were no exception.
All of them had run into enormous problems!
Faced with this outcome, countless beings racked their brains, their faces filled with confusion.
Some even formed the most irreverent of conjectures in their hearts:
'Have all the gods fallen?'
Confronted with such a blasphemous speculation, many factions immediately began wondering whether they should head into the Astral Plane to investigate.
What if... they could find the God Corpse of the god they worshipped there?
If that happened, perhaps the situation could still be salvaged...
However, aside from a tiny number of extremists, no one truly put that idea into action.
After all, that speculation was simply too absurd.
In the eyes of most people, since all gods had encountered problems at the same time.
They were more willing to believe that some sudden force had obscured the connection between gods and their believers.
