Is there any info (official or homebrew) floating around for vestiges in the Realms?
Would any "dead" god qualify for being a vestige?

Check the Forgotten Realms page on the WotC website--there should be some articles about the subject there. Perhaps someone here can get you the links. |

Well, I found info for making some of the existing ones in the Tome of Magic fit better in the Realms, plus one new one Realms-specific vestige... and three other non-Realms vestiges, but that was it there unless I am missing something. |

That's all I really remember on the WotC site. |

I thought I remembered a collection of stuff posted on their forum, but I couldn't find that. |

Look for the thread entitled "For Fans of Pact Magic." It is about a marvelous book entitled Secrets of Pact Magic. While not Realms-specific, it offers over 100 vestiges, many of which are readily adaptable to the Realms just by changing a few facts in their backstories. Its rules for forming pacts are superior to anything which Wizards has offered.
There was also an article on vestiges in Dragon a year or two ago which featured Karsus(!) as a vestige. Personally I think that it's a bad idea to use "the God of a Moment" that way, but that is my personal opinion; I prefer to have Karsus as a great, ominous shadow from the past.

That looks like a good read... unfortunately, my budget is a bit tight right now. All I can afford is $free, and that's stretching me to my limits.
...but I'll keep that site bookmarked for when I have a little gold to spare. |

It's a heck of a lot better buy than most WotC books of the past few years, and you don't need Tome 3.$ to use it; it can be used instead of that for pact magic.
