The gods of Alvalon are ascended mortals burdened with the task of taking on cosmic powers beyond their ability to fully manage. The eldritch entities usurped at the dawn of time still persist in some forgotten corners of the multiverse, and plot revenge or bide their time or dream endlessly as idiot deities oblivious to the destruction of matter and mind they cause by their mere presence. As a rule of thumb, gods and ancestor cults grant Domains, while communion with other entities makes one a warlock.
