These are going to  epic battles even though the gods are mortal. Instant godhood will most  likely not be the case. Only when the time is up and the gods return  would the new ones be able to access their divinely power. However it  would be neat if they could still have due respect from any who might  know that this will person will be a new deity, even before the throne  is available to them.Just when i feel it's all coming together a huge flaw makes itself apparent (I'm thankful you brought this up). I guess there will have to be some system implemented to have this. Maybe a vessel is needed to capture the essence of the divine and only with this tool can it be done. I can see this turning out well, those who wield the artifact when ascension is nigh the power will be transferred. Not only will it be difficult to obtain the "soul" of the deity but keep it from any who might be aware of its existence. What these artifacts are or how they came to be will require some more development on my part. Maybe they're something simple and not an artifact at all. Just an object that, when the character wishes so, will inhale the divinity and become an artifact. The character could even use this to his own advantage, perhaps it grants powers or abilities to the wielder. Or maybe can be "used up" to greatly effect the mortal world while simultaneously releasing any possible ascension. Then of course the problem of how to fill that deity's role in the pantheon. This is turning into a heavy undertaking more and more. Please keep the suggestions coming, It's nearing a tangible campaign that I'm really anxious to begin dming.</blockquote>
