Demigods are also called 'the gods that walk the world' or 'half-gods'. They started their lives as normal mortal beings but were granted immortality by a god or goddess and possess a portion of that god's power.
The power of a demigod is directly taken from or granted by their patron god and therefor their fates are intertwined. Should the god die, so does the demigod. Demigods don't need worshipers to survive, the way a god does, but as they walk the worlds demigods tend to gather their own followers, cults and believers so that they may finally ascend to true godhood and take their place among the gods.
The following demigods have been recognized by the gods.
