Belief is what the gods are made of, literally. The belief in something by one just one individual is enough to give birth to a god; the belief of thousands is, however, required for a god to physically manifest something as simple as a soft breeze in response to an offered prayer.
This rather uncomplicated method of celestial begetting means that the Orb is home to tens of thousands of, if not more, gods – some mighty, some barely clinging to existence. Gods wink into and out of existence daily on the Orb; during periods of intense conflict it is impossible to ride into battle without trampling them by the scores.
