Gods

The gods are lords with a large following, the faith of their supporters granting them miracles far beyond what even the most faithful of priests could pull off. In this way, one could consider the relationship between gods and men to be symbiotic, humans of great faith being granted the power of miracles, while said faith works to empower the gods. To better focus their power, and to attract more followers through differentiating themselves from their cohorts, most gods choose domains they specialize in. While they aren't the cause of the domain they've claimed, their miraculous power is often oriented around it due to their supporter's faith in the god's abilities in said field.

While most gods get their power through the worship of humans, belief in a god's capabilities alone can be enough to empower one; Marxito for example is feared by all those who know him, but the superstitions used to stave him off (eg throwing salt over your shoulder, wearing good luck charms, putting up dream catchers) act as a form of both belief and worship towards him, thus empowering him enough to make his claim to the deific legitimate.

### Pantheons

Most deities consolidate power via forming a pantheon, the close association with other deities acting as a form of cross promotion, thus further empowering those within the pantheon. Within a Pantheon, there are multiple positions deities often take:

#### All Father

An all father is the deity who initially formed any given Pantheon, almost always acting as both the pantheonic head and a paternal figure for the pantheon, even if he is not the biological father of every member within it. This position is permanent, and the person in said position cannot be replaced upon death.

#### Pantheonic Head

The pantheonic head is the deity who rules over the other deities in the pantheon, arbitrating between them and leading them in times of war. While the All Father usually takes up this role, then if said All Father dies of gives up the tidal of pantheonic head, the next deity in line to the throne (usually the All Father's first born) takes his place as pantheonic head.

#### Greater Deities

Greater deities those those deities within a pantheon of great importance; said importance can be due to how closely related they are to the All Father, but just as often is due to how large and dedicated their worshiper base is. Whether it be through power of the All Father lent to them or the power gleaned from their own worshipers, greater deities are more powerful then their lesser counterparts. The most important of these greater deities often takes up the mantel of Pantheonic head upon the death of the All Father or former pantheonic head.

#### Lesser Deities

Lesser deities are those who while part of a pantheon, are seldom worshipped in comparison to their greater deity counterparts, or who have fallen out of favor with the All Father. These deities still usually maintain power greater then any human could hope to achieve, but are of course, weaker then the greater deities. Said lesser deities often were married into the pantheon or joined it after its founding, though simply having a domain that doesn't draw worship could also lead to a deity being lesser.

## Non Lord dieties

While rare, a lordling, or even a human can sometime grow enough of a following and have their feat exaggerated so greatly that they grow some semblance of deific power. Examples of this would be the Daughters of Chaos, Old Man McLoyf, and Evlana the huntress. Further still, some non sentient creatures can attain some level of divine power if feared or worshiped enough, such as Zandroe the Silver and Zinder the Golden.
