Here is a short list of relevant information to use as inspiration with character creation. Later there will be links to full information pages for them.
Deity System
In this world there are different types of deities with different rules and limitations
Outer Deities
They exist in realms outside the material realm. examples are: Archfey, Great old ones, Realm of fear and Death
Major Deities
These are tied to a continent and almost all continents have exactly one. Some of these Major deities might have split into multiple but they still inherently are one entity then with multiple individuals tied to it. Examples are: The turtle that holds the continent of Magalete, The giant tree in the bloody forest, and the Monarch of the current continent.
Minor Deities
These are special entities that are not tied to a continent or forced to be outside of the realm. They can be big or small and strong or weak, the core of them is that they are part of this cycle of balance. Examples are: Fairies, Guardians of holy places, and many other entities that hold a special role or influence.
Hero Deities
These are normal inhabitants of the material realm that have achieved the status of deity. This can be through many different means. From grand achievements, powerful rituals or achieving a pinnacle of influence in one way or the other. Examples are: the founders of the adventurer guild, the heroes that helped shape the realm and the king of nothing.
The Sun and Moon
The sun and moon are a strange case of deities where not much is known what type they originally where They are twin deities that reside in different realms The moon is a great influence and source of magic in this world concentrated in this one celestial body in the sky The sun on the other hand resides in the realm of devils that is a fiery place that would burn anything that does not belong their to nothing The connection between the 2 entities creates a portal that allows the sun to bring light to this realm at the cost of devils being able to enter when the power of the twins is strongest. As the seasons progress the power of the 2 fluctuates and the portal becomes weaker and stronger which influences how much sunlight the world receives.
Important notes
Death and their contractors
The deity of Death and gambling is an outer deity that receives the souls of all those that pass. The deity loves a good risk and fair bargains and occasionally offers deals to both dead and living at a price. You can gamble to be brought back to life or postpone death, but if you lose you have to pay a bigger price. You can also ask for other benefits from death like power or protection of a loved one. Usually the price of any of such bargains or lost gambles is that you will be “employed” by Death to hunt those that have evaded them through illegitimate means. This entails being branded with the mark of Death and being notified whenever an entity is nearby that has broken the rules of the Deity. If you get close to them you are often forced to eliminate them or face grave consequences. Most often you are also prohibited to tell others of this contract. Which leads to the rumors of people with certain markings being dangerous assassins or serial killers that have massacred families and villages indiscriminately.
The one beyond the boundary
There is an advice that is given to some people around the world that you should be wary whenever you pass through a door, window or other such liminal passageway as on rare occasions it could lead to a different place than it should. This place is the Feywild of this world and by entering it you have accepted the invitation to enter the realm and any binding contract tied to accepting this invitation among which you agree to becoming part of the realm and as such under rule by “The one beyond the boundary”, The deity that this realm belongs to. This is a strict but hard to understand deity that holds agreements, contracts and other vows to its highest regard. Despite these sometimes not making any sense or seeming unfair to outsiders.
The traveling theater
There are stories of a mysterious theater traversing all continents. It appears out of nowhere and disappears just as sudden. Almost anyone that enters it either vanishes with it or is forever changed in who they are. All that is known about it beyond this is that it is lead by a strange friendly jester and anyone that has witnessed it falls into great panic whenever they are asked about it.
Shadows in the night
On rare occasions there have been sightings of shadowy figures in the night. sometimes even described as if there has been a whole shadowy village that appears there temporary. This has not yet been properly investigated but theories entail that a different realm or time might have overlapped with our reality and this is what caused this phenomena.
Devils among us
As the sun burns brightest there have been times where devils from that realm slipped over into our world and ended up blending in with us, some of them living peacefully and others with less pure intentions. The devils have strong familial ties that veer over into supernatural phenomena. For example, if you end up killing a devil you will be branded in a way that is not normally noticeable without magical support. However the devils of that same family tree can tell that you are marked. And depending on who your victim was, they might want retribution.
