Linde

In many worlds, gods, deities, and pantheons exist before and after humanity and sentient life. Linde is not one of these worlds. By channeling the power of their races, world leaders can create new Avatars, godly beings that can fulfill their desires, do their bidding, but also attain desires of their own. By entrusting the success of ones desires to a higher power, an Avatar is strengthened, but if one does not exist, then one can be created, but the creation of a new Avatar is difficult, tedious, and destructive.
