Okay, I've got a subscription. I haven't read the entire AP, but I've looked over the last couple adventures...here's what I gather...
However, the next adventure gives the impression that there may be a way to undo the death. They are very cryptic, but they say that a certain girl's powers and a certain artifact may be able to rectify the disaster.
What does this mean for canonical fluff? I noticed that when it comes to adventures, the designers aren't worried about how events affect canon. In the Prince of Death adventure (more spoilers ahead), the PCs have a chance to kill Orcus. They go on to say that while this may affect a person's campaign, it won't affect future publications. Whether Bahamut stays dead in the SoW or not may not have any affect outside that adventure path or the campaigns of those running it. There is no official campaign world, just aids to your campaign world.
see, thats what i love about 4th ed. no canon, or at least canon doesnt drive stories. what happens at the table stays at the table. none of this "i read in the 3rd book of the 5th series of x npc that y npc killed the last member of h clan. so we couldnt possibly have been up against h clan. they were wiped out 5 book years before that encounter happened.
way to go points of light.
i am a subscriber, but i havent been reading every word, i have been downloading the magazines, but not necessarily reading them.
I would have imagined that this would have been revealed long ago. This is the sort of event that I would think would be kinda of nice to tell the DMs at the beginning of the campaign.
I think they were worried about players getting ahold of the information so it doesn't become the big wtf moment in the campaign.

Yeah, but as far as premade campaigns go, I think that is sort of unavoidable and hiding it only inhibits the DM who doesn't really know what is going on.

Yeah, I can see what you mean.
Everything that occurs in an adventure is limited to the scope of an individual campaign. WotC mentions this at the end of the Prince of Undeath adventure; if the PCs manage to slay Orcus, then Orcus is gone in that campaign.
This does not mean that the demon is gone in every world; and it certainly would not apply to my man Bahamut.
