This has been an issue of mine, namely for some of the deities from 2nd Edition that didn't survive the Time of Troubles or before that. Anyway, here were some of my ideas for their home planes if they were alive in the 3.5 Edition World Tree Cosmology.

1) Bhaal: I'm guessing his Throne of Blood would be located in the Barrens of Doom and Despair.

2) Auppenser: From what I've gathered before, his Tranquil Gardens would be within Dweomerheart.

3) Murdane: This goddess of practicality and reason would likely be welcome in the House of the Triad or the House of Knowledge. Not sure which.

4) Moander: If not in the Abyss like he was, I'd guess his Offalmound would be either the Barrens of Doom and Despair, Fury's Heart or Deep Caverns.

5) Sseth: I'd guess if not actually in the Abyss, then probably in Deep Caverns.

6) Ibrandul: Deep Caverns, I'd bet.

7) Tchazzar: Either Ziggaraxus or Dragon Eyrie, I'd think.

8) Amaunator: I'd wager his Keep of the Eternal Sun would be in the House of Nature.

9) Iyachtu Xvim: He'd HAVE to be in the Barrens of Doom and Despair just like his father and his subordinates Loviatar and Talona.

10) Eshowdow: Plane of Shadow, maybe?


What do you folks think?

Galuf, I think those are reasonable, although I might place Amaunator with the Triad.



Plausible.

Mr. Costa, you really swooped in for the win with this one!

FRA located Bane on Acheron and Bhaal on Gehenna.

Faiths and Avatars located Iyachtu Xvim in the Bastion of Hate on Chamada, second layer of Gehenna.
Although I think he was summoned to Faerun (in the Moonshaes and/or in Thay) where he remained trapped for some years just after the Time of Troubles?

FR Wiki says: "Moander's divine realm–Offalmound, was located in Rarandreth, the 223rd abyssal layer, both in the Great Wheel and the World Tree cosmology. Adherents of the latter worldview speculated that with the deity's demise his realm was either pushed outside the Astral Plane without any connections remaining or collapsed altogether."
The article cites Player's Guide to Faerun and Fiendish Codex I as the source material of this statement.
