Gods

The gods (note: lowercase 'g') are powerful, magical beings who are part of the fabric of reality. This page is about the nature of godhood, for details on specific gods past and present, please see the Pantheon page.

Religion
'Religion' in the world of Lighthold is not like real-world religion on earth in 2015 (or any other era). The gods are definitely physical beings who walk around talking to mortals. Being a follower of a 'patron' is not like worship - it is more like joining a captain or belonging to a political party. About one-quarter of the peasant population will catch a glimpse of a god in their lifetime.

God-beings
Please note there is a difference between 'gods' and 'god-beings'. The latter is a catch all category for all powerful immortals whose power is of the same source - divine essence.

The gods, Fiends, Titans, Primordials, Archfey, Star-Beings, Inscrutables and Inevitables are all god-beings, although only gods and primordials definately exist, the rest are probably legendary.
