Minor Deities
Almost all divine, daemonic and spiritual entities are powered by Belief.
This includes awareness of the entity and strong emotions, active "belief", and active worship.
Most of the entities in Jushara draw their strength, their existence, from this belief, from the smallest spirit of the Tree in a tiny villages green, to the themselves. This power is not one way, however, and the more thought and belief is applied to an entity, the more they were shaped by those beliefs.
This resulted in nearly infinitely powerful Primordial Deities, who were acknowledged by nearly every living thing means they had a strong tendency towards neutrality.
In contrast, the Major Deities, who came into existence in the Age of Apotheosis were much less powerful, comparatively, and much more influenced by the creatures that gave them form and metaphysical substance. Major Deities had vast influence of the mortal lives on the mundane plane, and this led to conflict between many of the Deities and their worshippers. Both of these effects were further amplified for the Minor Deities of the world, who typically had divine domains and spheres of influence that were much more highly specific than their older brethren. Minor Deities, could, however, manifest on the mortal realm with much greater ease than their more powerful Brethren
