Ranking of the Heavens

The gods of Löthoné are each divided into 4 groups in order to aid in properly categorizing them. Those at the peak are the most powerful and in turn hold an immense responsibility in the upkeep of the world. While those at the bottom have a lesser influence upon the world as a whole, though have a greater connection to the mortal/sentient races than those higher up. The Gods are beings that are constantly growing at an unstoppable pace. Due to this, the older fragments of their being will flake off their bodies as they grow and fall unto the world. These fragments are capable of influencing flora, fauna, and the land alike in varying ways depending on where the fragment originated from. Whether it came from a Dominion or an Authority can have a significant difference on what occurs. The Emp- Empiriums - The First thoughts of The Beginning. Divine beings that Khaos had created as a byproduct of creating the universe as it is now. Direct descendants of Khaos to place it in simpler terms. Their existence mirrors the state of the universe. The aspects of the world that they govern are unable to exist without their presence. Only 4 gods exist that fit the qualifications of occupying this rank, they are as follows. Void, Brilliance, Time, and Space.

Thank you. As for the rest. Dominions - Decendants of the Empirium's upon the creation of Löthomé. Similarly to the Empiriums, though on a significantly lesser scale, their existence mirrors the aspects of major importance of the world. Though, their titles are capable of being transferred or "borrowed" by gods of equal or lesser standing. It can be considered as granting a portion of their influence, allowing them to ease the burden of their responsibility. The first of the Dominions, the God of Magic (Makhest 'ol) had been created for the purpose of managing and refining the energy flowing through the Chains of Genesis. Authorities - The lowest ranked full deities, most often they work underneath the Dominions that created them. Though it is possible for them to break off from their "parent god" and gain their own (albiet small) sphere of influence. For example: Zu'Kahne, the Authority of Ores/Metals, managed to expand their sphere of influence once the mortal races took to creating money and value as a concept (Via the creation of coins, jewelry, ect). Which allowed Wealth and Vanity to bud out from their existence. Though they will still obey their parent god and partake in their original duties, they will gain new ones, and have more freedom to themselves. Divided - The Divided are beings that are not full deities. Usually, they are born when a fragment/the residual essence of a god converges or rests within the womb of a pregnant woman. Though, there are other ways as well, such as coitus between mortal and god, or simply having a god knowingly influence a mortal body. Each way can have varying effects on the mortal body. The strength of the Divided depends on the strength of their parent god, as well as how powerful the connection to said deity is. Thus, a Divided with an Authority parent deity that has a powerful connection between the two is capable of surpassing a Divided with a Dominion parent deity with a weak connection. Divided usually become the respective church of their parent deity in order to maintain a strong connection. Divided are not limited to the sentient mortal races, as beasts are capable of achieving the the rank as well. These types of Divided are usually referred to as "Divine Beasts."

Chains of Genesis - Mana Anchor's

By those that that dwell on Löthoné, they are known simply as Mana Anchors. By the older gods, they are referred to as the Chains of Genesis. They serve a dual purpose in their existence. Its main and primary being to hold down The Beginning of All from within their prison, constantly draining their power in order to keep them sufficiently weak enough to bind. The chains have 30 ends in total, each one exist scattered across both time and space itself. 10 wi- . . . . . . very well. To continue on another note, only a few are capable of being viewed by the average person. While the others require one to be more magically adept in order to be visible or even be touched properly. As for their second purpose, in order for the chains to not be overburdened. It allows that energy to flow through them akin to a pump, traveling through them until the energy is properly filtrated and released into the universe. Allowing its already bountiful cosmos to be more vibrant than it would originally have been. While these chains are usually kept guarded by divine beasts, gods, and the like. They are managed by Magic who is in charge of refining the chaotic and primal energy into a form less dangerous and far more usable.

The Beginning of All - Khaos

Before the races walked the lands, the grass grew undisturbed across he vast lands of Lothoné. Before the world came to, the gods began to mold reality to their wills. Yet before the gods made their mark, there was nothing. And within that nothing, there was Khaos. Known to the world by many names, the older gods called them The Beginning. They are a mass of everything that was or ever will be, everything that yet exists and what shall remain unknown and unheard within the depths of nonexistence. Eventually, within a flicker of this being's thought, its boundless might was split was split and with it the universe would take form. What it thought of, Space as a means to allow everything within its own place. And to accompany it, a way for all those below it to move across its vast expanse and chronicle its events (Time). Next, Brilliance to shower the light of creation unto a budding reality and Void to take up what it cannot reach, while erasing what does not belong. With reality in its infancy, it observed what its first spawn would do with their newfound sentience. Eventually, for reasons unknown, creator and creation would turn their fangs on the other. A war unable to be quantified in scale began, yet with all their power, these newborn gods were unable to defeat their creator. So, in an attempt to overcome this shortcoming, they came to the decision that they seal the The Beginning. Space and Time utilized their influence to create a reality timeless and without end. While Brilliance and Void created all encompassing chains that grasped at every facet of their being, while it dug into their mass and devoured their might, siphoning their strength to leave them unable to retaliate. This, they were thrown to that personal prison, their chains sewed the opening shut. Their ends anchored into the world, they utilized the siphoned energy to fuel it to ensure they weren't overburdened. With this new energy, it had provided reality with another form of vibrancy. That very bottomless energy contained within Khaos was fueling the world, though raw and untamed, was capable of being refined with their efforts. Such refined energy would later be referred to as "mana".

Hello Tumblr, this is the blog owner here. This is just a little thing I created so that I can throw up all the lore I’ve thought up in my head in a physical place that isn’t my notebook for other people to read that won’t look at me weird because I’m horrible at talking to them irl. I’m kind of doubling it as an ask blog too, since I’m using a few of the gods from this lore as proxies to write it out. You can ask them whatever, and it’ll probably help out flesh out the lore I want to write out as well! So two birds with one stone! I can do a little rp with my characters and write lore. Yippie!!!)
