It discusses pantheons spending acts to prevent the death of a god.  I didn't see anything about bringing a god back to life.

Furthermore the Pantheon can burn 5 Acts to prevent the complete Death of the God. What happens then to him you ask? That depends on how he was killed and how you intend to safe him.

Closest thing in the description.

Gman, when did you become the god of ninjas?

The Younger God. There are no restrictions as to how many players play them.
Younger Gods play pretty similiar to the usual Gods of Godhood.

Summary
Younger Gods are born if a particularly strong tenant is created. If for example somebody discovers Agriculture soon some Mortals will believe that there is a god of Fertility and pray to it.
This causes the God to wink into existance. Belief is the Strength and the Weakness of the Younger God. His believers grant him his powers but when they cease to pray to him he slowly withers away as he loses his power.

When a Younger God comes into existance his mere creation grants him the power of one Mighty Act. From there on out he is totally reliant on his believers for Acts. As the Number of Mortals grow so does the power of the Younger God.

While this may all be well and good a Younger God only gets Normal Acts from this. To get the power of the Elder Gods however he needs Mighty Acts. He gets them by founding a Pantheon together with other Younger Gods. When a Pantheon has enough followers to gain 5 Acts per Turn, it gets 1 Mighty Act. This one they can use as they see fit. Even more useful aslong as Younger Gods are allied in a Pantheon they are safe from the predations of the Elder Gods. While they still can be killed the Pantheon gains the acts of the Dying God and not his killer. Furthermore the Pantheon can burn 5 Acts to prevent the complete Death of the God. What happens then to him you ask? That depends on how he was killed and how you intend to safe him.

It was, however, the only one at the time and possibly the only chance of survival for the gods of today.

Preventing death isn't bringing someone back to life. The former includes CPR, the latter includes Jesus.

Other than the fact that one of the gods rebelled from the other two and killed one of them, yeah.

And who brought Thaneos to...wait, Az-Sho was an Ancient? I thought he was an Elder God.

If I was an Elder God, I would have torn Udil to pieces. I didn't have any mighty acts, unfortunately.

You know, the farming thing was a flimsy justification for booting Corvus out of the Pantheon.

The Children never had farming, although the Emeraldhome dwarves did.

Ghaz never said otherwise until it was time to be mean to Corvus.

Sorry, that, along with the abomination that was the younger god of darkness just bothers me.

Technically, Elder Gods consume Corpses.  Corvus just kinda ate my essence, and left the corpse to contaminate the 4th continent.
Seeing as my corpse still exists, but has no power; empowering the corpse could bring me back.(But at ascendent level strength, and I only just died this turn.)

So if you think about it that way, I could be brought back. But it shall be Ghaz's decision. If not, ill just come in as a God of Battles.

I'm no abomination! GMAN IS!!

Sphere: Weather
Appearance: Procella appears to be a tall, graceful young woman. She has vermilion eyes, yellow skin, and white, cloudlike hair. Procella is graceful and wears a simple uniform made of bird feathers and frog skins. She wears assorted pieces of jewelry and carries a crosbow. Procella is always surrounded by clouds.
Description: Procella is a moody goddess of extreme passions. She tends to be wrathful and merciless to those who anger her, but loving and devoted to those she likes. She is also a little bit arrogant, but willing to admit another as her better if beaten in a fair contest of some sort (assuming the contest is relevant to whatever she's admitting being worse at, of course). Procella empathizes with mortals and manifests among them fairly often when she can do so safely, appearing as a female of the normal race (always with green eyes).
That reminds me someone....

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.
