On the contrary, the effects are NOT the same. If they are dead, they cannot help the folks of 2200 S.T. Glorantha against the Devil. However, if they are indeed alive and forgotten or cut-off or whatever, it may be possible to somehow bring the gods back in touch with the Gloranthans (who are about to get their butts kicked by Wakboth) and give them some much needed help.
