Recurring Themes

In an era of celestial transition, a new pantheon rises, distinct from the ancient cultures that gave birth to their divine lineage. These nascent gods, the heirs of a myriad of cultural deities from the Mayan to the Celtic, convene not under the guise of their ancestors but as architects of a fresh divine diaspora. Their existence, etched in the stars, heralds a culture reborn, independent and vibrant, a tapestry of modern divinity spun from ancient threads. Sheltered in a realm where time flows like a gentle stream, these emergent gods are nurtured by the guardianship of Symbel, an avatar of balance and unity. In sanctuaries untouched by temporal storms, they are sculpted in the virtues of power and prudence, their dawning presence a testament to the forward gaze of the old gods.   Yet, a cardinal decree shadows their emergence: their divine roots are to be veiled from mortal eyes, a sacred secret until the dawning of the 16th century. This edict is the cornerstone of balance, a thread that weaves the celestial with the terrestrial.   With the turn of the epoch, the young gods traverse the mortal plane, their divine essence cloaked in a delicate dance of obscurity. Guided by the ancient wisdom of Symbel, they forge their destiny in a world evolved yet unready for the revelation of their celestial bloodline.   As the vestiges of their predecessors fade into legend, this new divine assembly maneuvers the complexities of an ever-shifting world. Their tapestry is one of subtle influence and discreet guidance, a covenant of shadows and light, as they endeavor to sustain harmony within the clandestine folds of their sacred pact.   Advisory Roles and the Cultural Pantheon   This new pantheon is flanked by a coterie of advisors, each a pillar within the framework of their emerging culture:  
  • Ashera, the Canaanite Goddess, serves as the pantheon's Healer and Comforter, akin to a Well-Being Officer, ensuring the emotional resilience of her divine charges.
  • Lucian Blackwood, once a vampire now reborn, brings his eye for Design and Aesthetics, shaping the physical and visual splendor of their sanctuary.
  • Myrddin Emrys, known to some as Merlin, assumes the mantle of Librarian/Conservator, a Chief Information Officer curating the collective wisdom and lore.
  • Robin Goodfellow, the entity once known as Puck, channels his capricious spirit into the role of Confidant/Instigator, the voice and vision of Public Relations.
  • Tristan de Valois, an incubus caught in the twilight of his curse, upholds order as the Enforcer/Disciplinarian, the steadfast Chief of Staff and guardian of security.
  • Isabella and Mateo Garcia, twin werewolves, harmonize the day-to-day as Custodians, a dual force in Facilities Management, their lycanthropic nature bridging the gap between the celestial and the earthly.
  Emotional Growth and Secrecy While omniscient in knowledge, the true odyssey of these gods lies within the labyrinth of the soul. Their narratives unfold through diary entries, introspective vignettes chronicled by Symbel and Ashera, overseers of logic and emotion. The divine decree forbids the public display of their powers, lest they unravel the tapestry of secrecy that cloaks their existence. Thus, they tread a path of internal discovery, their divine essence a silent partner to their mortal masquerade.   Their adventures, veiled in the guise of diary entries, are a mosaic of personal evolution. Every entry, monitored for the delicate balance of reason and sentiment, is a chapter in their eternal quest for growth, bound by the prime directive to conceal their godhood from the world beyond Tir na nOg.   Conclusion The El-sod Elohim represents not merely a congregation of gods but a crucible of new culture. It is a realm where divine legacy informs but does not dictate, where knowledge of roots fosters growth but not adherence, and where the journey of each god is a silent testament to the rich, concealed heritage they bear.

Character Agency

In my world, characters wield substantial agency, not only in the freedom to chart their own courses but also in the significant impact they have on the narrative and the world around them. Each character is intricately developed, bringing a unique set of motivations, backgrounds, and skills to the story. As they navigate the challenges of concealing their true nature due to celestial edicts, their decisions and actions reverberate throughout the narrative, often leading to pivotal plot developments and world-altering events.   Moreover, these characters are not static; they are designed to evolve and grow over time. Their experiences, interactions, and the moral dilemmas they face play a crucial role in shaping their paths and personalities. This dynamic evolution ensures that the characters remain at the heart of the story, driving the action forward and keeping the narrative vibrant and engaging. They are agents of change in their own right, with the power to influence the course of events, while also being shaped by the world and experiences they encounter. In essence, my world is one where characters are the primary architects of their destinies, navigating a rich tapestry of challenges and transformations that make their journeys compelling and relatable.
