Not sure about Maikali, is she dead or did she just go away?
@Sarapis did something really cool with his powers to merge Makali's essence with Maya so he could leave us and have Maya become the Great Mother and Creatrix of Achaea.
Edited: Just realised @Sena said something about this. Internet just showed me the last page.

TohranEverywhere you don't want to be. I'm the anti-Visa!
Aeon didn't die exactly, but isn't alive exactly. His essence was essentially dispersed in the timestream after he used the Sword of Dunamis to shatter His hourglass and let its grains pour into the Flame of Yggdrasil, the power of which was used to summon Aurora, which was the sole event that Aeon had forseen might save the future from Bal'met. He had spent a near eternity replaying possiblity after possibility, trying to prevent what was coming.
I want Doctor Who as a God in Achaea, because that would be awesome.
Aeon could come to our time because he doesn't see time as linear. His younger self could come to our time and see the way things are, which is how he would know that bringing Aurora forward is what was needed to be done to save Achaea from Bal'met. However, once here, he would try to figure out a way to do it without sacrificing himself, determined to avoid his fate. Time travelling logic, but it makes sense, especially if you're a Doctor Who fan, or have watched the second Back to the Future movie... or have an innate understanding of quantum mechanics.
Neraeos, obviously. So many mysteries, so many stories still to be finished, or started. How does the story of the Silver Dolphin end? What about Borak, the Caspians, the Kashari, the citadels, the war in the East.... and yes @Rinzai, those deathsights were the highlights of my day.
Aeon doesn't have a younger self. He no longer exists as a coherent being in any time frame.
(That was the magnitude of his sacrifice, but he always existed across multiple time frames simultaneously anyway. He didn't have an "older self" or a "younger self." He was just Aeon, or perhaps still is, but isn't capable of acting as sentient being any more.)
I admit, the only aspect of Aegis I had found interesting was his involvement...and admittedly spawning..of/with chaos beings/divines.
My favorite part was the romance between Him and Eris. There was actually some beauty to it, especially with the poetry by Eris and gift from Him. Still brings a tear to my eye.
Immortals are all immortal. They live forever. They never die.
They never make themselves visible.
The rest are all just copies! imitators! imposters! actors! extras! pretenders!
Immortals will always live in our memories. They have all left finger marks here and there (through the mortals, the chosen ones) for the dedicated of them all to find & discover.
If I could get the specific volunteers back as well, then definitely @Neraeos and @Phaestus. Both were ridiculously awesome and I want more Triton events.
Story/role-wise... Lorielan's departure was fascinating and I'd love to see her return as an antagonist.
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
My thing about returning gods is that is cool and everything, but you never know exactly how they will be. Seriously, it's pretty obvious whenever a god/goddess do change hands. They do things differently. Sometimes they're awesome, sometimes they're not.
So, if I -had- to chose
-Artemis/Phaetsus/Apollyon/Agatheis
So yeah, despite having your favorite god/goddess back, you never know how they will turn out.
Sartan is very awesome though, everything he's done has really improved Mhaldor and to make it a much more rich environment.
They're not on the list, but I would bring back Indrani and Keresis, maybe getting rid of one or two of the male divine characters and make the Garden less of a sausage fest. (<3 you guys, but really, 12:7 ratio...)
Put Indrani in charge of Ashtan, turn it into the City of Sin and Debauchery, where Freedom has gone so far that, with everything permitted, the aristocracy turns to more and more debased pleasures in search of the same rush. The city collapses in on itself and turns into a decadent parlour of extravagance and excess for those with loose morals, looser purse strings, and no questions. Could even have Vastar up there still, co-patron it with Indrani maybe, with a sects of both Vastariams and Indranites (their Orders, basically) pursuing their own goals as the elite class while the aristocracy and even some of the proletariat over-indulge at their whim, creating an populace whored and drugged up to the point that they blindly follow the strings of their puppetmasters.
Keresis I wasn't around much for, but hell, have her be one of the few free agents that takes in rogues and people from any city-state, because vengeance isn't limited to Evil or anything. Maybe more preferentially allied with Mhaldor, waiting for the time to stab Sartan in the back for her previous death during the Bal'met saga and overthrow the theocratic state of the West, sending them into a bloody civil war that spills out into the countryside, dragging other nations in on manipulative strings for either side until they reveal that it was all just another plot all along, an extremely long con, to strike at Twilight's Great Work or something. I dunno, I'm kinda just rolling with it at this point.
Bydar, a garish-looking trader says, "I'm not a man, I'm an experience."
I'll vote for whichever option lets me kidnap @Kyrra
@Vastar wins me over pretty strongly @Eiredhel! I don't even think Selene returning from the dead would make a difference at this point.
If I had to vote though, it would probably be for @Babel for the guys, who are waiting so patiently for His return. I really admire the level of dedication and commitment to stay in the service of a dormant god, because that is what they stand for.
(D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."
The rathest I'd see Clementius back.. Failing that, I think we could use a dosis of Thothness. We already have the Conclave of Ice and Fire, we need some frosty undead!
Right, and it's time for Lord Aeon's Timey-wimey. No timelord was ever stopped by being dispersed over time pfsh!

To sum that up Aeon can come back because of
Noticed Tarah wasn't there. =(

La'aag
It'd actually be neat to see Lord Eros return and have His divinity restored.
He was the most badass. Grief Pit the sand worms, RIP Shallam.
"I think not."
Awesome suicide missions. The original A-Team Order that would war with entire cities.
Mordanyconus :(

Having a water-themed god seems important.

It's the abs isnt it?
I'm buying @Vastar a shirt for Logosmas.
What good is a shirt if he never wears it, though
Agreed. @Neraeos isn't really water-themed though. He's the god of dissolved salt.
And honestly, what kind of realm is "dissolved salt"?
Vote pure water. Vote @Kastalia.
