Special abilities
- Truth Detection : Farhad has the ability to discern truth from falsehood. When he focuses on a person's words, he can understand their true intentions, though he uses this ability sparingly to respect the free will of mortals.
Inherent Divine Abilities
- Immortality: The gods are ageless and cannot die by conventional means. To maintain secrecy, they often live in hidden or shifting locations, or periodically assume new identities to avoid arousing suspicion over their unchanging appearance.
- Shapeshifting: Gods can change their form at will, allowing them to blend into different societies or environments. This power is used discreetly to avoid drawing attention, such as adopting the guise of different people over the ages or turning into animals in inconspicuous situations.
- Superhuman Strength: This power is used with caution, as overt displays can reveal their divine nature. When necessary, gods might disguise their strength as remarkable human feats, still within the realm of human possibility, or use their strength in situations where they are not observed.
- Self-Healing Powers: Gods can heal themselves from injuries instantly, but they do so in private to avoid revealing their divine nature. In situations where they are hurt in the presence of mortals, they might retreat to a hidden location to heal.
- Flight: When gods fly, they become invisible to ensure they are not seen by mortals. This power is often used for quick, undetected travel or to reach places inaccessible by other means.
- Dreams: Communication between gods is conducted through dreams to avoid physical meetings that could be witnessed. This method allows them to exchange information and make decisions without leaving any tangible evidence of their interaction.
- Divine Inspiration: Gods inspire mortals by planting thoughts or ideas in their minds, particularly in individuals who are already creatively or intellectually inclined. This inspiration is subtle, often perceived by the mortal as a sudden stroke of genius or an epiphany, without realizing the divine influence behind it.
