Sogored /
Deities(redirected from Site.Deities) Many of the inhabitants of Sogored have an unusually strong fear of death and lust for power. This fear or longing for power has driven some individuals of great power to draw upon the ancient magic which rests at the death places of the Archons. Using these shrines, a handful of powerful beings have sacrificed their physical presence and influence to obtain omnipresence and immortality through an extremely complicated ritual known as ascension. At times of great need, these deities utilize a ritual known as condescension in which they temporarily re-materialize their bodies, and fight alongside their followers to further their cause. The power of these deities is limited by their connection to Sogored through the domain or cause that they united themselves with during ascension and the prayers of worshippers who lend their devotion to strengthening and maintaining their deity's connection and domain in hopes that the deity will repay their devotion with divine aid. |
