They have to act through Archons or aspects of there being as a manifestation upon this plane and through them gain or grant power to others. Seeing as they are beyond the reach of other gods the standard rules need not apply to them as such as they are above simplistic concepts such as good and evil. So creatures of almost any outlook or alignment could worship the same god just in a altered aspect as listed below. The primary Sect is the most dominate of the god and may or may not be at odds with the other sects even to the point of killing or trying to convert them to their outlook. So you could have two paladins both of good alignment fighting each other because of their opposed outlook on whose god is the true aspect of him in this world. Role play notes: are for the Gm to give a description of how the Archon aspect acts like when in this world.Archon: This gives a more physical description of the beings manifestation on this plan, some are very odd almost alien in appearance.Special Abilities: This give a description to the GM of what the archon aspect is able to do which is a small compared to the being its self. These powers or Archons are not meant to be used against the plat characters as they cannot be affected by mortal abilities or powers. Only other gods can even affect these beings but most do not and will not directly attack them as their power is much greater than theirs. But they do and have used demons, angels and other powerful planer beings do this for them so as to avoid retribution directly.   Duties/ of Priesthood: This is a short description of what the day to day activities are of the priests and the goals of the sect in general in this world. It further defines the sects and gives the character some information on if the character would fit with the sect or he may have to choose another or be killed or cast out for heresy.Favored Weapon: This ads the listed weapon as an option for the player to use in the service of his god (The ability to use this weapon requires no skill of ability but is lost if cast out of the sect or upon changing gods) So as long as the players faith to this aspect is true he may use the gods weapon of favorer unhindered.Symbol: This is the focus of the god’s power to you and has to be displayed prominently or all granted power and abilities are striped from you. In the case of it being stolen or lost it’s up to the GM on a case by case basis. But most likely no spells can be regained until the symbol is replaced. As for stealing a holy symbol of a priest can be dire as the power of that god flows through it to the priest. Again can be left to the GM.             Example: the God Goredowen might depending on the sect might send wild animals of large size to attack you and dog your every step, have bad weather fallow you causing you discomfort and preventing you from getting a good rest or being able to rest, or to not let any food you eat nourish you and water to not quench your thrust killing you slow.         Divine Domains: most are in the 5th edition player’s book some are listed here after the gods, some of the spells listed are taken from The Book of Lost Spells and is required to use those Domains list in the later section.                                          List of DomainsName                         AirCharmColdDestructionDiplomacyDragonEarthEvilFireGoodHeroismIllusionKnowledgeLeadershipLifeLightLuckMagicMistNaturePassionProtectionShamanismTempestTimeTrickeryVengeanceWarWaterGoredowen He is also known as the primal controller.Role-playing Notes: This god is bestial in appearance and outlook but with at times an evil outlook some would say.
