Deity

As befits a reality in which gods and magic are demonstrable, the deities of the Sundered Cosmos are not aloof constructs whose power merely provides options for character creation. Ascension  to godhood is a real and living thing in the Omniverse. Deities, such as Emperos and Taura, have their homes in other planes and predate several worlds' existence, yet they nevertheless take an active interest in their workings.

Ecology and Habitats

Political upheavals can favor particular gods, and some show deities’ direct influence. The success of the undead nation of Yenhia is a boon to Hagurta, while simultaneously offering endless worry to Marapha and her legions of psychopomps.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Despite a long and deep divine connection to Material Planes, it is extremely rare for a god to appear on a prime world. The gift of divine power is the most common way in which the gods influence mortal (as well as undead and immortal) lives on the material plane. Divine intercession, through the granting of boons and Curses, is another way in which the gods spread their influence. the Omniverses' deities don’t spend the majority of their time doling out curses and boons, nor does every god pay attention to every mortal—no god has that much time amid their plots and alliances playing out on an extraplanar scale. Yet when their attention is attracted through particular merit or outrage, or when it fits into a larger objective, they may intercede to bless or to curse a mortal who has drawn their attention. Finally, a god might speak to a mortal through a dream, portent, or singular religious experience. Such moments can shape a character’s deepest values and motives, and they are entirely at the GM’s discretion.
