Alien Species

The Darshanide Gods are entities from the planet Troy.

Biology[]

The gods possess many abilities depending on their portfolio and jurisdiction. They are also capable of a degree of invisibility to watch over their followers and even affect them at long range. However every god needs to be within range of their believers else they will fade.

Culture and society[]

The gods are sapient and are aware they are the figments of creation from mortals. They rely on the power of their worshipers to remain strong. So they remain in contact with the ruling Court of the Shah. The gods live in the Palace of the Gods in the northern part of Darshan, where they are served by many mortals.

There are a multitude of gods, not just from humans, but animals and trolls that make their home in the palace. The gods of Darshan organize themselves into a society, possessing a celestial bureaucracy, with the most powerful god, having the most worshipers rule.

According to the Shah at one point it was recorded that there are 2,657 gods, however that number is noted to change depending on the status of the deity's worshipers. New gods are born when there is enough belief.

The lives of the gods are punctuated by immutable traditions. One of them is the hour of Zeugme, when they all gather around to eat and drink to heart's content.

History[]

The planet Troy is a world steeped in magic, its mystical energies flowing from the legendary beast known as the Magohamoth. This raw power, however, is not accessed directly. Instead, it is channeled and distributed by the Sages of Eckmül, who act as conduits, allowing the people of Troy to harness their psychic abilities.

In contrast, the land of Darshan lacks the presence of these sages. Here, the native Darshanides unwittingly channel their innate magical essence into powerful deities they revere. These gods function as magical intermediaries—divine relays that receive the people’s prayers and return them as miracles, sustaining the mystical balance within Darshan.
