Men and women who became<br \/>so accomplished at the recently rediscovered art of fleshforming that they<br \/>were able to<br \/>create for themselves new, perfect bodies. Bodies that could not be<br \/>damaged, would never age or die, truly immortal. As time passed and these<br \/>individuals continued to not age and grow stronger their influence became<br \/>all the greater. Some humans began to worship on their own, others assumed<br \/>the identity of pre-created pagan deities.<\/p>\n<p>As their power and influence grew, different groups came more and more into<br \/>conflict and the world was half torn apart by the fighting between these<br \/>powerful beings. Finally they met and settled on an accord of peace and<br \/>non-interference. Creating for themselves their own pocket dimension in<br \/>which to retreat peacefully into, a realm called Asgard, Olympus or any one<br \/>of a number of other names. From there they continued to have some limited<br \/>interaction with the human world, often venturing into it in disguise or<br \/>taking it upon themselves to help certain favored individuals but mostly<br \/>remained aloof and apart from it. Masters of fleshforming, they have filled<br \/>their world with various amazing and dreadful creatures, as well as<br \/>semi-human servants and vassals.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes a god will sleep with a human while visiting the human world, at<br \/>times they do this while in the visage of another, such as the human&#8217;s<br \/>lover, at other times they do not. The reasons can be as varied as falling<br \/>in love with a human to a simple lark. The chance of a god impregnating or<br \/>being impregnated by a human is low, about one tenth of the chance of a<br \/>human with a human but can happen. These offspring are known as god children<br \/>and their descendants are<br \/>called demigods.<\/p>\n<h3>See Also<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/index.php\/game-info\/helpfiles\/#lore\" target=\"_blank\">Lore<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/index.php\/game-info\/helpfiles\/#demigod\" target=\"_blank\">demigod<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You need Occult Knowledge of at least two to know this information.
