Gods

Gods, being of divine power whose strength and influence is far beyond that of any mortal. Many beings in the world are incredibly powerful, being feared, worshiped and revered. Some can crush armies with a single wave of their hands, some can move mountains, but power alone doesn't necessarily make a god. To become a true god, one must embody an aspect of the universe. Their mind and soul must be more synonymous with an aspect, such as truth, vengeance, hope, or rage than any other being in existence. And they must possess a Divine spark, incredibly rare, and incredibly powerful sparks of divinity that can be used to transform a mortal to a force of the universe.

Gods' powers and influence wax and wane in proportion to their number of worshipers, and their affinity to their aspect.

### Pantheons

The gods are divided into pantheons. Many of these pantheons date as far back as the dawn war. Gods would band together for safety and strength during the dawn war against the more numerous and mighty Primordials. Some gods exist in multiple pantheons, sometimes under different names and with slightly different personas depending on the pantheon's worshipers' understanding of their aspect.

## Main Pantheon

The Main pantheon have influence all over Flouna. While some areas have other names for these gods their influence is felt virtually everywhere on the world of Voltunt.

## Dead Gods

Several gods have been banished from Voltunt. Some of these gods still exist elsewhere merely having been pushed out of Flouna, while others are truly dead and gone. Whichever the case may be the result is practically the same for the denizens of the world. They can no longer grant clerical power or divination to their worshipers and they have no say on the events that take place around the world.

Asgorath

Asgorath is the only exception to this rule. As he is the dragon god of time, he has cheated his moment of banishment to some degree. He still exists, but in a defeated and dead state. He cannot grant his clerics power, yet time itself still exists in a linear and organized fashion as he intends it to. (See his page for more details)

### Maglubiyet

Maglubiyet was the supreme and only a god of the goblinoid races. Many eons ago he slew every other god in the goblinoid pantheon and took all of goblin-kind for himself. He was a god of war and trickery, but his greed became his undoing. Maglubiyet was slain by the god Larithon during the God's War nearly 8,000 years ago. Many goblinoids, especially hobgoblins, still worship him in hopes that one day he will return. They claim he was not killed completely, but only mortally wounded, and they believe that their prayers may one day restore him to life.

Some facts may support this as clerics of Maglubiyet still have some level of power, but many are skeptical, saying they draw on other gods' power without knowing it as worshiping war may appease any warring deity, and a such his following has been slowly deteriorating as the decades roll by.
