Sainthood
The saints are the divine forces in Akentro. A mortal can become a saint after his lifetime, if they were revered in a special way. A great general might become a saint of war, an outstanding member of society might become a saint of law. There are many ways to ascend to sainthood. Only the Zenostrian Empire has a formal established way to raise a person with great certainty to sainthood. Any other culture and civilization has the ability to raise a saint.
Once a mortal take the mantle of a saint they are connected to a particular faith / god / power. They detached from the mortal realm, and can only interact/intervene in the World if called upon by a mortal.
