Invokers
An Invoker is any Magic Practitioner who is granted their magic through the power of faith or channeled divinity.
This section contains links and information about Invoker Archetypes, such as: Clerics, Dark Priests, Hellknights, Paladins, Priests, Prophets, Seekers, Warrior Monks and Zealots.
All Invokers are granted power through Faith Magic or Religious Entanglement with their chosen deity. Some, but not all Invoker Archetypes Require a strictly followed Religious Doctrine in order to retain their Powers and gain more.
Deities
Deities or gods are metaphysical beings that are granted existence and power through the power of belief. The more mortals that believe and reinforce their ideals, the more powerful they become. The more singular the narrative the more solid and less amorphous they become. No god would ever admit this however, because in doing so, they might lose another possible follower and chance at increasing and extending their own existence.
Souls
Many gods will use promises, pacts, agreements and pledges of allegiance as a form of power of Mortal Consciousnesses or Life Essences. In many instances this allows them to utilize the energy contained within their life essence or use their consciousness as laborers or servants in their own Realm.
Domains
Many gods become powerful enough through followership to manifest not only a body but entire pocket dimensions, inhabited with creatures of their own design. Many gods with a Domain will accumulate and collect the Life Essence or Consciousnesses of followers that have agreed to such an arrangement in life. These agreements are often posed as a means of access to a desirable afterlife, power or wealth.
Heavenly Deities
Heavenly deities are portrayed as Benevolent gods that rule over a Heavenly Realm reserved for the good of heart. These deities tend to focus on the eradication of things that mortals fear such as the Undead, Sickness or other Species, all this is done to encourage conversions and indoctrination from specific facets of society that resonate with their doctrines. Due to the Magic of Faith, the more that believe, the greater that deities power.
Lesser Deities
Lesser Deities are less established or less worshiped gods that are not on the same power scale as other Deities yet they might invest the power they do have more heavily in a single individual prophet, allowing them to rival and potentially exceed the power of other deities practitioners.
Outsider Deities
Outsider Deities are immensely powerful Entities capable of affecting or interacting with multiple Realms. They do not care that they have followers, and the powers they grant them are purely due to exposure to their multidimensional form. Their orders they issue are usually the individual interpretation of the followers' psychosis brought on by exposure to unstable interdimensional energies.
Pantheon Deities
Pantheon deities are the many gods worshiped by various cultures across the realms. They go by many names and are strongly bonded to certain Aspects of Existence, such as the Sun and Moon, War and Love.
Underworld Deities
Underworld deities are portrayed as Malevolent gods that rule over an Underworld Realm reserved for the wicked of heart. They typically attempt to appeal to specific aspects of individuals, their wants, wishes and desires, granting some and promising others. Through this exchange they gain devotion and followership. Due to the power of Faith Magic, the more followers that believe, the more powerful they become.
Zen Deities
Zen deities promote self improvement, enlightenment and the power of the Mind, Body and Will working together in harmony. They do not seek service or converts; they seek only to enlighten those willing to listen.
