Demigods are the half human, half divine offspring of a deity and a mortal. Demigods possessed near god-like powers in addition to having a mortal soul, making them incredibly formidable and dangerous. Some Demigods were later ascended to Godhood or immortality to serve alongside their divine parent. Ascended Demigods include Asclepius, Dionysus, Nike and Tyche.
Demigods were common during the Silver and Bronze Ages, but after The Exorsian Civil Wars the Gods swore The Divine Truce, which forbade the birth of any more Demigod children.
