Deities

### What are Deities?

Deities are beings that help keep order in the universe they had a hand in creating. Several years ago, they disappeared behind “the veil” cut off from their creations only to reappear once again, dealing out gifts, punishments, or to passively watch the world. They walk amongst mortals, and in rare instances have offspring.

### Random God information

* Gods can only be played by admins, and minor gods can only be played by mods.
* Gods can produce offspring, however it’s a rare occurrence and only happens once a year for each god, if that.
* If a god, regardless of rank, abuses their power, they become “fallen”.
* Gods, Minor Gods, Demigods, and Fallen are all NPCs when it comes to contests. Because they have increased stats, it wouldn’t be fair as far as winning things goes.

### The Fallen

The fallen are gods and demigods who have abused their powers and were stripped of their immortality and godhood. Once a deity or demigod falls, they can no longer work magic, give gifts, or be as strong as they once were. They can still be rped, breed, and pinecones can still be collected on art/writing submitted of them, however they cannot take part in any of the yearly events.

### Blessed Grans

These grans have been visited by a god and been given their blessing. They are watched by the gods closely and protected as well as they can without interfering with the natural order of things. Blessed grans get +2 to the god's respective trait.
