Deities

Divine beings known as Deities or Gods exist in Abrilion and lots of creatures worship them. But devotees interpret them differently depending on their cultures. A deity is approximately defined as an immortal being who receives the worship of mortals, and to whom devotees can pray in order to receive Divine Spells. Deities have different shapes and possess power beyond that attainable by mortals.

2 main common traditions are Concept and Personification.

Concepts

Deities are merely seen as concepts like Nature, Travel, Life, Death, Trade.. Devotees and believers name them such as The Death, The Light, Lady Luck, the Benevolent Wind etc...

Personification and naming

In different regions, names were invented by devotees to personify their Gods. Deities or Divine envoys always refer themselves to the exact name or representation invented by their devotees. Representation can be an image of themselves (Same Ancestry) or creatures that exist in the different planes or their imagination. As such, depending on where the characters travel, they will encounter different religions and cults with different Deities names.

Rules & Game System

Pathfinder 2nd edition Game System from Paizo was used to give some rule description to Deities.
