The Deities of this world aren't selfless. They are not quick to give a gift and are oft more concerned with their own dealings. That is not to say they are evil, but they do not, or cannot, concern themselves with the many matters mortals bring to their attention. They are more likely to gift or bless a group of believers rather than a single individual. Many that worship pray for a gift or blessing to be bestowed upon them or others, some seek a Deity's wisdom and power, but few individuals ever recieve the favor of one. It's believed many Deities get their powers from their believers. More worshipers means more strength to their Deity. Sometimes referred to as Greater Beings, or Entities.
