Gods

Gods, Deities, Masters, Sphere-Keepers, Sphere-Makers, Higher Powers, etc; all are names for a specific type of entity: a god. A god is a powerful being, many being the highest powers within the Spheres Beyond. Some have cults, others will annihilate those who attempt to worship them or garner their favour. Gods are individuals, and thus none can be predicted off of the actions of others.

Two gods highly involved in Crux are Shuliak and Dahar.

Information
Gods are called gods in Crux simply because they are worshipped, however the more accurate term for beings of their caliber would be Cosmic Beings. As far is as known, they are beholden to no master or ruler, and there are few powers that can rival them. Their minds are beyond both mortal and lesser immortal alike, and their powers are beyond imagination; many gods are fully capable of shattering planets and distorting spacetime with only their mere presence, the stronger ones have this effect on a scale so great that their mere gaze lazily cast upon the world would warp reality. Gods are immune to almost everything, and many are known for dwelling within astrological objects like black holes. Most gods come from the Spheres Beyond, an infinitely higher domain than the one Crux exists in, and as such are beyond the conception of being lesser than them; their will is incomprehensible and their forms not for the eyes of lesser beings.

Many deities come from Crux, such as Merovech. Many others hail from other domains than that of Crux or the Spheres Beyond.

Almost all gods, due to their immense insanity inducing power and scale, have servants that represent them and act in their name in lesser domains; as such, actual face-to-face interaction with a god is rare.

Gods are formed by incomprehensible processes, but what is understood is that a being of sufficiently great power must tap into the underlying manifestation of reality itself, to intertwine themselves with a dimensional knot of unknowable origin, and survive; if the being survives, they reach a new apex of power, and will be able to stand among the other gods as an equal.

For all intents and purposes, entities of this scale and power are truly immortal; completely incapable of death for they are without life. Even the total annihilation of their physical form and discorporation of their mind and energies cannot kill a god, meaning that even if shredded down to the infinitesimal nothingness of the quantum scale, the being will survive in at least some way.

On Crux
There are three general pantheons that the world recognizes; first is the 'Right Gods', who are the main gods worshipped by the populace and are mainly gods that hold dominion over life and what makes life possible; the 'Forbidden Gods', of whom the worship of is banned in most nations, including deities such as Shuliak and Zirak; and lastly, the 'Beast Gods', who are worshipped by few, and are gods of the environment.
