Lesser Deities

Called Lesser Deities, these entities grant spells and can perform more powerful deeds than Djinni & Demi-Gods can. Lesser deities have anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of worshipers and control larger godly realms than demigods. A lesser deity was completely immune to any attempt to magically imprison or banish it. Lesser deities could inherently travel the planes as often as they wanted. A deity had even more power when in its own plane. Like Greater Deities, they can manifest an avatar, but destroying the avatar does not harm the deity - Avatars chosen are usually celestial bodies, and thusly named, ie Neoma: Moon of Astara. For example, Aegon still exists and has not been killed, despite his avatar being destroyed in The Great Calamity / The Heliocide.
