Aeons

"You ever wonder why the gods don't interfere with mortal affairs? Well, see it this way. A god directly intervening is the equivalent a shukan-rhat player flipping the board and punching their opponent. Do it, and all rules and fall away. Then, it's just a fistfight." 
-Duchess Vera Velaan 
Aeons, also called form-given-concept and living gods, are a type of divine created when a mortal completes the full process of divine metamorphosis, and mantles a concept of reality. Aeons are worshipped as full gods by the people of Arkon, and the practice is also common among the Arkonic races on Earth. While a few may prefer to wander the world alone, most have their own divine realms, arcane servants, and religious followings, from which they grant and take power. Notable aeons include Axios, Angra, Lethae Margon, Luku'antali, and Seria. 
 
Divine mantling can be achieved in two ways: either an existing aeon passes down their mantle to a mortal, or a mortal taps in on a previously unexplored concept. In either case, that mortal will then fuse with the concept, creating a creature that acts as a fusion between them and the element. While this process of mantling can appear similar to how The Concept creates true gods, the creation of an aeon works in the opposite direction. 
Failing to ascend to godhood is considered a divine tragedy, and it is one of the ways in which one can become an empyrean, such as the Great Kath.
