Message: <blockquote data-quote="Angcuru" data-source="post: 1455534" data-attributes="member: 10948">My setting's gods do not get their power from their worshippers, as such a concept seems utterly self-defeating.  The gods' worshippers are not a source of power, or even remotely necessary for the god to exist.  Rather, the gods keep their worshippers around and do little things for them every now and then as a form of entertainment.  Their power comes from the very fabric of existence itself, and different gods are able to manipulate is fabric in different ways.  There are two main types of power: Creation, and Destruction.  Creation power is the power to create new matter, and apply it as is seen fit.  Destruction power is not so much to power to destroy as the power to change.  It would seem that the Destruction power would seek to destroy the Creation power, but it is not so for the simple fact that since those with the power of Destruction cannot create, they must rely on those with the power to create to make things which they in turn change to suit their needs.I'd go into more detail, but this is just a tidbit of info concerning the power base of a literary world I am designing, and I must beware of Idea Thieves.   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /></blockquote>
