Supernals

The Wasteland

Supernals can visit the Mortal Realm, though they require large amounts of magical power to do so. Since the the Veil resists the seep of magic, a supernal can seldom reside very long in the Mortal Realm.

In some places in the words, such as the Shattered Sea and the Wasteland, supernals are said to be naturally occurring . Some supernals can also be summoned by the use of magic.

### Gods

*Main article: Gods*

The most powerful supernals are are said to be able to reach the status of godhood. While supernals are in general difficult for mortals to comprehend, this is said to be even more true with gods. The comparison has been made that we as mortals are to them what ants are to us.

Another possible difference between gods and supernals is that the gods connection to mortals. The souls of mortals are said to find their resting place with the gods they worshipped in life, and gods are said to gain strength from being worshipped by mortals. Though is possibly true for all supernals, though only the gods are worshipped. *If true, then perhaps this is the most fundamental difference between them*. *Gods are simply simply supernals who have managed to get a following of mortals, thus gaining strength*.
