With there being only six Elder Gods, many of the aspect of life aren’t covered, and so eventually beings -either once mortal or fully created by faith- came into exitance that filled the gap in divine aspects. The beings, although not as astronomical as the Prime God nor as ancient and wise as the Elder gods still hold more that enough power to severely alter the scape of the world as we know it. They have the ability to walk among men if they wished, but only do so whenever they deem it necessary. They tend to the plans and their faithful from places unreachable by most. The power they wield is very dependent on the number of and the devotion of those that worship them. Here you can read all about the twelve Godlings who are known all over the material plane, who are defined by and get their power from those that follow them, to whom they all mean something a bit different.
