Diety

Deities or Gods are a class of entities that exist in the Ellesemere.

Background
In the Ellesemere, gods are held as existences that were a pinnacle of divine power. They were seen as a standard in which mortals could never reach.

Entire religions have been forged based on their beings, like humans who are creatures that rely on faith in gods as a pillar of moral strength in their everyday lives. The religion the surrounding countries believe in are called the Four Elemental Gods. Each of the Gods represents a particular element which are Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. Nonetheless, there were respective Gods that created and governed Ellesmere. While there were minor gods ranking below them that had a small influence within the surrounding regions. Additional deities like the Gods of Life and Death are exclusively worshiped by people of the Empire.

From how the story goes, in the beginning, there was light and darkness, and from them, the Four Elemental Gods were born afterward. The Empire viewed the Gods of Life and Death more respectfully than the Four Elemental Gods as they are considered to be the most powerful deities who are above all. However, this way of thinking by the Empire was not shared by the surrounding human countries as it had a very bad affinity to the religion of the Four Elemental Gods. According to the Empire, the highest strength of the Six Great Gods starts from the God of Death > God of Life > Four Elemental Gods.

Deities also have minor gods as their own subordinates to lead by its example.

The belief of a series of gods can also serve to unite various races, but also nations in a common denominator. The Ratifiers from the central region of Ellesemere is an excellent example of this.

On the other hand, gods have the power to create top-class magic items known as artifacts which cannot be made by the likes of humans.

Faith-based Magic Connection
Deities in Ellesemere play a pivotal role in faith-based magics. Clerics and priests who recite prayers to their patron divinity would be able to cast divine magic. They call upon the gods to either control, repel, and destroy beings like demons, undead, and angels.

The existence of divine magic casters is seen as proof of the existence of the gods’ powers. Many priests of the temples in Ellesemere take these blessings as proof that their gods exist. However, ...(text missing)...dismisses their notions to have any validity to it, believing that their so-called gods were merely great men who had been deified.
