Only the Basmol in Prax was killed.

A minor note from the Lore auction, for those who remember the Digest controversy over this relatively innocuous point of myth - a carefully worded question to Greg confirmed that the Basmoli of Prax believe that Waha killed Basmol.
Which doesn't mean that I want to shoot down Daves myth before it even appears - his is a Ralian myth, they believe strange things.
And I think in Pamaltela, Basmol is still alive. And if there are any Basmoli there, they have lions.
On a more general note, he also made explicit the difference between 'dead' and 'gone', for gods specifically. Basmol is only dead - this weakens him, but he is still worshipped, and his worshippers can still receive magic from him (though in general they are much worse off than the days when Basmol was still alive and the tribe was accompanied by a tribe of lions). But gods that are 'gone' (such as those eaten by Chaos) can grant no magic.
