>So now I'm wondering...Where exactly are the Machine City Ruins?
The location is given in the Holy Country Map from the Runequest Companion. The largest and southernmost God Forgot Isle in the Genertela Book actually has a bay on its south shore. Within that bay is a smaller island. Upon that Island is the Clanking City.

>Now, where can I fit Italian, Greek, and Indian cookery?
Italian cooking (sans tomato and pasta) would be found in Ralios. Greek cooking will be found in Umathela (mainly because of the Patriach of Nikosdros). Indian Cooking (sans the chili peppers of the Fire Elves) will be found in Fonrit. IMO these are general guides (~75% correct) and not exact parallels that ought to be followed in every detail.

I would draw a distinction between the death of the actual god and a extinction of a cult to that god. Genert is a dead god. The Sun Dragon is a dead cult (among humans) although the Sun still lives.

It would perhaps be the cornerstone of the Great Compromise (Malkioni equivalent). In order to save the world, they had to expel all the gods from it.
