Ashearah

We've always known that gods rule the world. Only now do they rule it more directly. The Pantheistic Empire is an empire, sure, but to any outsider or historian worth half their salt would see that we're little more than a collection of city-states loosely held together by a common culture imposed on all races by a conqueror whose name is lost to time. Our gods do not live together on some special mountain or another plane. They live among us, closer to their followers, within a boot's reach.
