Instead of basing them on people or tangible figures, the deities were more like forces of power. Tapping into certain leylines and unleashing soul bound energy required a certain understanding of the nature of these deity forces. Thing is, nobody completely understands them. Which is where much of the conflict comes from. Being a good person is seen as a key to unlocking beneficial abilities and powers. However, being evil also unleashes beneficial abilities and powers of another nature.  Since its not completely understood how these forces came to be, or any way to directly communicate with them, mortals are left to devise meaning from them on their own. Which, of course, causes quite a bit of conflict as folks naturally disagree with the best most virtuous approaches to tapping this mysterious power.</p></blockquote><p></p>
