Demi Gods

Demi Gods

Summary

Demi Gods are figures of legend throughout Eonil, said to have once been ordinary mortals elevated by the gods themselves. Though many doubt their existence, stories persist of individuals touched by Quintra, Denday, Ghor, or even Eonil, who gained immortality and great powers. True demi gods are now believed to be extremely rare, if they exist at all.

Origins & Mythology

According to myth, the gods of Eonil—Quintra, Denday, Ghor, and Eonil—could choose any mortal and grant them the status of demi god. Such individuals would stop aging between adulthood and old age, gaining effective immortality, though they could still be slain by violence or misfortune. The exact criteria for becoming a demi god, or recognizing one, remain shrouded in mystery.
