The Gods are ancient supernatural entities which were venerated by humans millions of years ago, they are an almost extinct race because their cults have been destroyed, and their followers have been murdered. Some of the Endless have been confused and associated with them many times.
Description[]
The Gods are an immortal race which were revered since the beginning of life in the universe, each god has its own customs and traditions depending on the religion they are from. Due to their dependence on their followers, many of them have vanished, which is the equivalent of dying for them.
Each god has a completely different appearance, some have human features being almost unmistakable with them, others possess animal features such as animal heads, wings and claws, others have a somewhat terrifying appearance such as fangs, multiple arms and eyes.
The Gods are capable of mating with other species and having offspring. The most famous of these affairs are the demigods, hybrids between gods and humans, but others can have relationships with the Endless and have offspring with them. However, the children that are born from these unions are completely immortal.
It is implied that not all gods are born gods, since some are humans who achieved divinity either because it was granted to them by another god or they were so revered that when they died they became gods.
Pantheons[]
The Gods are divided by means of pantheons, which are groups of gods worshiped by a specific religion, each god or goddess has a different power depending on the element with which it is associated.
