[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8574122, member: 6790260"] Unfortunately my usual go-to, my home Dungeon World game, doesn't have any identified gods in the bog standard sense. There are spirits (of elements, creatures, concepts, etc.) but those are definitely not "gods" by any means. The only deity-type figure is the One, often known as the Great Architect (the most prominent aspect by which the One is revered, as the "Great Architect" facet represents the creator/designer/guide of all of existence, and thus has a sort of [I]primus inter pares [/I]status among the infinitely many facets of the One). But no one sees or hears the One except in personal visions and personal revelations. They aren't even usually depicted in artistic form (other than maybe as a featureless sphere or disk) because Their infinite perfection is too diverse to try to capture; all depictions are one of Their facets. The facets are not gods in themselves, and most beings who worship the One depict Them as a member of their own race. As a result there's...not really much to say, because the One is frankly a bit too alien to really give a meaningful answer. Too abstract and too distant from mortal perspective to meaningfully discuss the "daily life" of. There is another deity I've done some work on. Arkhos, the Woven Oath. A bit like Bahamut but with a more fortune and adventure focus, god of heroes and hope/luck and travel. Usually he spends his free time giving would-be heroes secret tests of character, teaching and guiding mortals with wisdom and examples, and enjoying the beautiful places and things that can be found in the mortal world. He's quite happy to just spend some time talking and laughing with mortals (in disguise, of course), putting his feet up and sharing a flagon of ale over a tale or two. Such small joys are the reason, the purpose, the anchor of the oaths and the adventures and the aspirations. To rise higher and yet never forget these joys, that is what Arkhos wishes all mortals to achieve. [/QUOTE]
