This is a world where fantastic magic, skilled warriors, exotic races, and ancient gods exist. Magic is a product of the immense leftover power emanating from the god's plane. This energy seeps into the natural world, allowing mortals to bend it to their will. Magic is commonplace, and most individuals are accustomed to being around wizards, sorcerers, and spell casters. Each town has 2 to 3 magic users in it, with almost no towns having a complete lack of casters.   There are 12 gods of the pantheon, each controlling over a specific domain. These domains are Balance, Hope, Nature, Life, Land, Day, Chaos, Deceit, Decay, Death, Stars, and Night. Unique to a polytheistic pantheon, though, is the fact that the gods must work together to cause change in the material world.   Of the mortals that are born, about 3 in 100 will develop into a hero, or "Kaveh." These are mortals that are picked by the pantheon to fulfill a greater purpose or calling. Kaveh are unique in that they have increased life force, as well as a mystical protective barrier that surrounds their form, repelling attacks and stopping spell effects. This barrier is a representation of their willpower (And is my explanation for the mechanics of AC and HP), and is not infallible. Attacks can pass through the barrier if they have enough intent, precision, or otherwise. Even some animals can be chosen by the pantheon, but the chances of an animal Kaveh are significantly more rare.   Summary - The gods exist. Magic is a product of creation. Magic is common. Kaveh are the chosen of the Pantheon.
