The Gods
Within the New World, there are a number of Gods who influence the people residing there. Gods are powered by belief and should the belief of the people change, this can also change the Gods.
The Gods were originally destroyed by the Great Copper Dragon in the Old World's Heard of Lands. When the Free People arrived in the New World, there were no Gods and the inhabitants often worshipped spirits or ritual circles in their place.
The Free People went to work, carrying the sparks of their Gods, to have them reinstated to the Heavens. Some of the Gods are not the same as they were from this recreation. Many priests gave their lives for their God's new vessels and this has aided in shaping the world as it is today.
It is believed that the core three gods of influence in the New World are Arkane, Sil, and Elm. Those that followed after are still Gods and are not to be trifled with, but their influence is less impactful.
Not all Gods support the Free People however. In the Pantheon there are a number of Gods that will work against the core three Gods and their followers. As such, the Gods have been defined as residing in the 'Over Pantheon' (Heavens) or the 'Under Pantheon' (Hells). This has also been referred to as Ascension and Descension. The worship of the Under Pantheon will often put you at odds with the rest of the Free People.
