are entities which are able to make use of worship energy. These entities may be intelligent, free-willed, or physical, or may not be. In some worlds worship energy may gather in a pool which certain individuals can tap. In others, deities may simply provide power as they see fit. Using ~Primal Order rules, deities are ranked (in increasing order) as godling, demigod, supported god, lesser god, greater god, and supreme god. Beyond the ranks of the gods, in a relation to them much as gods are to immortals are the elder gods. The power and nature of elder gods are so far beyond those of mortals that it is pointless to speculate or game their nature. See Also: ~Animals, Immortals, Mortals.
