Gods

Minor gods (as opposed to the Most High) are powerful beings belonging to every corner of the earth and belonging to every society there ever was or will be. Many aspects of their existence are unknown. It is unknown how many there are, unknown how often new ones are born (though it is known that they are born), unknown how often they die (though they have been known to die). The many pantheons of gods are responsible for most mortal magic, not including divine and demonic magic. They are extremely formidable, extremely knowledgable, and extremely unpredictable creatures, which mostly fraternize amongst themselves, toy or deal with mortals, and stay out of the Lord's way. Each god seems to govern over specific aspects of mortal life and are capable of granting specific, powerful boons to mortals of their choosing in accordance with their aspect, such as powers for war, death, time, justice, wisdom, love, fire, water, even sunlight. Among supernatural beings, the gods are the most frequent to involve themselves directly in the affairs of mortals or to involve mortals in their own affairs. Though their involvement in the world is somewhat lessened due to the nature of the Pact.
