Imagine a world known as Altreni, a fantastical world filled with monsters, magic, and deities. Mortals would pray to their chosen god(s) and potentially receive blessings in exchange for the power boost the deities obtained. However, things weren't always like this, for you see, deities did not always exist. They started out as an idea that the mortals came up with to explain why they themselves were alive and living. Through prayer and faith the deities were born from a mysterious magical energy known as "Divine Magic". This was separate from "Arcane Magic" which came from a mortals inner self. Deities lived very well, praised and worshiped by the mortals. However, this was not always meant to be.
One day a deity known as "Jeno" betrayed the rest of the deities. While fights with deities were common, especially between minor ones, this was different. You see "Jeno" was revered as a saint, a deity who did no wrong and would always help those in need. He had a huge base of worshipers which sent him power, and while he wasn't the greatest he was still easily in the top five most known deities. Practically everyone knew of him, save for a few isolated tribes and such. Despite having one of the largest base of worshipers Jeno was not known for his combat expertise, and instead preached peace, love and nonviolence. However, Jeno was in reality power hungry. He was not always like this, and used to be all about peace and love, but as time progressed he wanted more and more power. To be the top god and rule over everything and everyone, and create a new kingdom and era. So continuing his charade he finally met with the strongest deity known as "Alithos" who trumped every other god in worshipers. Jeno set up a trap and caught Alithos off guard using artifacts to augment his fighting capabilities. During the fight Alithos was injured severely, however his raw magical power was enough to overcome Jeno, defeating him with a decisive blow before opening up a portal to the void, a pocket dimension with a huge size containing no matter or light. Jeno was imprisoned there, and soon enough his powers would fade as his worshipers energy would not be able to cross dimensions.
News spread throughout the Upper World, (heaven - home of the deities) and eventually reached the mortals. The mortals believing that Jeno was innocent and that this was simply propaganda began to renounce their faith leaving the vast majority of deities weakened. Mortals began to distrust the deities, and eventually wars were started over this incident. In the end the worshipers numbers were cut down by a large margin, to the point where humans (who were by far the largest species population wise) only made up two and a half times the total number of worshipers as the second largest minor species known as elves, with dwarves right behind them. Now that the deities have been weakened some prefer to stay in their own pocket dimension and hide away, some prefer to live on Altreni amongst the mortals and blend in, while a few have even sought to defend the mortals from creatures in exchange for worship.
In this RP you will be able to take on the role of either a mortal or deity. PC Deities are powerful beings and will start off 1.5x times stronger than the minor miscellaneous gods, whilst mortal PCs will start off at 0.75x as powerful as the weakest miscellaneous deities.
