Here's how Gods work in the open table game I run for my students. Also, a God Soother class and three Cultists (Sun, Life and Death, and Moon). This is somewhat inspired by my previous religion post, but it is tailored more to this world.
Gods:
- Gods govern domains of the physical world: the larger their domains, the bigger their power.
- Domains are not so much aspects of human life, as they are places, conditions or things in the world. 'A river', 'anything the moonlight touches', and 'decaying matter' are all examples of domains.
- Gods are beings of order: they want the world to be more of the same, specifically more like them. Therefore: all Gods strive to increase their domains until they assimilate the world.
