What generally known is that the more specific a spirit’s concept of domain, the more comprehensible it tends to be to mortals. So a spirit of a river is someone you can have a conversation with (assuming they’re sapient), one of an ocean is more complicated because there’s and increased amount of stuff that makes an ocean what it is, the spirit of water is another matter entirely, and don’t even try with the spirit of the liquid state of matter. Depending on who you ask, somewhere on this chain of beings some of them started being gods.There’s another matter to consider. This instinctually eats at the back of everyone’s minds: the world was once a Dream that became real. That raises the obvious question, what exactly is dreaming it? Some of the most powerful entities might claim to be (one of) the Dreamer(s), but there’s not many ways they can prove it. The Dreamer(s) is/are usually considered to be at the top of the aforementioned chain of increasingly complex spirits, and what people theorize about such (an) entity/entities are the subject of much of mortal worship.</blockquote>
