Gods

**Gods** are beings from the Human Realm or Midgard with great control over elemental energy and whose lifespans are much longer than that of mortals. Most gods on Ukiyo are beholden to Valhalla, although several gods have displayed wariness or even resentment towards the heavenly citadel.

Before the Archon War, many gods roamed the continent of Ukiyo. For reasons unknown, seven divine seats opened up in Valhalla, causing the continent to descend into a protracted series of conflicts that ended 2000 years ago. Over the course of the war, most gods were slain or sealed until only seven victors remained; each victor became their respective element's Archon and became the rulers of one of the seven nations, using their powers to transform its terrain and governing the land according to their ideals.

## Overview

Very little is currently known about the origins of gods. As evidenced by Boginya and Kaixiu, gods can be elevated from a lower existence and given powers from another god. Zhusiang, Chaosiang, Varah, Khar, Mizumei, Jamonkar and Bingus's origins have been left a mystery, and have presently been referred to as gods since the start of their recorded histories.

### Demigods

Demigods are half-God and half-Human deities. The difference between a demigod and a full God is very unclear. Demigods are also not necessarily weaker than full Gods, despite being a demigod. The common characteristic among all demigods and what seems to separate them from the Gods is their inherent deep connection with Humanity.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Gods are by far the most powerful beings in existence. They were able to defeat all their enemies and assert themselves as the rulers of all the three realms (Heaven, Earth and Hell). It has been stated and shown that they are capable of causing massive destruction and influencing reality to a great extent: Creating life, evolving animals, flooding the Earth, destroying key elements of civilizations, creating an Ice Age and wiping out Humanity are some of the feats that the Gods have claimed to be capable of doing or have done it at some point in history.

**Divine Physiology**: Most Gods have physical abilities far greater than most Humans. They are also immune to all attacks with manmade weapons, which also possibly includes nuclear weapons. However, they can still be harmed by Divine Weapons and by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength. Some Gods also have supernatural abilities, such as Archons' elemental manipulation.

**Semi-Immortality**: The gods appear to be unable to die due to old age. They also appear to be immune to the effects of time, where they stop aging upon reaching a certain age. However, they can still be killed by other means.

**Divine Weapon Creation**: Gods have the ability to forge Divine Weapons. These weapons are superior to all man-made weapons and are one of the main reasons for the Gods' tremendous power over Humanity.

**Contract Creation:** Only Archon ranked-god can make contracts with humans, It has the same method as Vision obtaining. The people who make contract with Archon will becoming Demigod and contracts will affect the next generation as well.

## Story

### Ancient History

Based on current knowledge, most if not all gods came into being after the establishment of the Human Realm and hold the Human Realm's power, making them incompatible with the Light Realm and Void Realm's powers under normal circumstances. Elemental dragons hold power equal to a god's.

### Archon War

The Archon War was a prolonged conflict between gods for supremacy that began several thousand years ago and ended two thousand years ago. It is unclear how long ago the War began or why it did; however, before then, gods were able to live together peacefully.

### Present Day

Among The Seven, each Archon is associated with and worshipped by one of Teyvat's seven nations. The nation's elemental environment is based on its Archon's element.
