New Gods

in Deities & Religions

"We know their names. We've known their names for a while now.   It's just... easier to call on what forces we're asking favors from, instead of on the individual god. It stings less if some vague force doesn't help you, and invites less bad luck than asking for help from a god who doesn't respond."  

~ Excerpt from a study on current views on the divine

  With the disappearance of the Old Gods and the constant shuffling of the Pantheon, eventually a new one settled in its place. These new gods are young for divine beings, born far after the dawn of the world and thrust into positions they weren't prepared for. The burdens on their shoulders are many in a world that almost ended once already, so they keep to themselves and interfere in small, subtle ways.
