Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aristotle" data-source="post: 1420361" data-attributes="member: 5885">This is an exceptionally watered down summary, but...In my homebrew (yeah I know, everyone has one) the most denizens of the world recognize a single creator entity that brought about all things, but he was killed by his children (the demons). Later a savior was born among the mortals who banished the demons. The largest single religion on the planet worships that savior, although most do so through patron saints. Only the clergy may worship the savior directly.Even though the Savior is the only true god in the entire setting, there are still other powerful beings who have devout followings. The patron saints are not gods, but they are very powerful. The demons, while their power has diminished, continue to invade the mortal realm through the manipulation of cults. One distant, and foreign culture, is known to worship "living gods" that pass from one living host to another. They are really nothing more than very powerful spirits (or perhaps some sor tof symbiotic life form, I haven't decided yet). Some cultures worship nothing at all (atheists), while many worship things that don't actually have any power at all (i.e. The lizard-men who inhabit a jungle continent worship the sun, but it has no actual power or presence).</blockquote>
