Deities are a wide grouping of divine entities capable of commanding aspects of reality within the realm of their worshippers, varying significantly in form and capabilities dependent on their location and followers, as rather than being wholly 'physical' entities the presence of Deities within the material world requires continuous worship from other lifeforms in order to be sustained, while entities with similar (albeit weaker) powers are known as 'False Deities' or 'Demigods'.

As stated above, the powers that Deities possess comes to them from worship, as well as what kind of worship. If the worshippers of any given deity believe it can accomplish something, then it can within their realm. Although how well it can accomplish this also depends on how many worshippers it has, or how powerful its worshippers are. Because of this, every religion is 'correct' about their god existing, in some way or another, although stories within scripture or belief may still be false. If gods are no longer worshipped, they will cease to be. They may simply be rendered inert as they withdraw from the physical world, or in some state of slumber, or they may truly die (though some gods may still be able to die without their worship ceasing). Dead gods may still retain their powers in whatever afterlife they end up in, although many may be "demoted" to have the powers and likeness of a mortal by the gods of an afterlife. Corpses of gods killed from such circumstances often leave behind artifacts of great power, although desecrating these sites can also grant dark curses. The reason why worship is so vital for the continued existence of deities is that they 'feed' off of a form of energy generated during acts of worship known as 'Divine Energy', fueling their continued existence within corporeal reality.

Deities may either be found alone as the sole entity worshipped by a society, or within a pantheon containing numerous other entities of either varying or similar power level such as the Chiaroscuros Duality, Hyacinthan Pantheon, Paradimensionals* , Theian Pantheon, and the Yatan Pantheon

Types of Deities

• True Deities refer the to the most common and powerful form of deity fueled by Divine Energy generated by continued worship giving them power over the domain of their worshippers.
• False Deities are entities which often possess some or many of the powers of Deities and present themselves as Deities, but do not require Divine Energy to exist (though it may still strengthen them)
• Demi Deities are entities which encompass some divine traits, but lack others.

Demigods are beings who may possess the powers which can resemble that of a god, without being one. They are generally weaker than "true" deities, and don't always require worship to exist.
