True Gods

Born not in the stars, but in the hearts of mortals.
The gods of Ene’we are not ancient architects who forged the world from void and fire. They are not distant, eternal overseers who shaped creation by divine decree. Instead, they are manifestations — reflections of mortal desire, fear, love, and struggle. They came into being when the beliefs of the many crystallized into forms too vast for flesh, too powerful to remain unseen.
Each True God was birthed from the collective experience of the mortal races. In times of desperation, faith kindled them. In eras of glory, devotion exalted them. And in the wake of the Dark Awakening — when magic shattered, kingdoms burned, and certainty died — even the gods were changed.
The True Gods are conceptual yet real — ethereal beings who draw strength from worship, yet act beyond it. Their power waxes and wanes with mortal belief, and their influence may fracture, evolve, or even fade entirely if forgotten. Some may sleep. Others may hunger. And some burn brighter now than they ever did before the fall.
They are not bound to morality, nor do they offer salvation freely. The gods of Ene’we do not exist to guide — they exist to be invoked, feared, bargained with, or followed. To call upon one is to step into a pact with the unseen forces that shaped this world — and risk being shaped in turn.
Each god bears a domain — not as a title, but as a core truth around which they formed. Glory, grief, hunger, rebirth, death, vengeance — these are not mere aspects, but living forces given divine form.
In worship, in silence, or in defiance — the gods remain.
And through them, so does the will of Ene’we’s people.

"The gods are not born to rule us — we made them because we could not bear to rule ourselves." — Old Saying, scratched into the walls of a ruined shrine
