Elder Gods
Hierarchy
The ancient, primordial deities who remain completely hands-off from worldly affairs. They exist beyond mortal comprehension and do not directly intervene in the material realm.
Attendant Gods
Hierarchy
Also known as "The Big Four" - the gods who actively shape and influence the world. Unlike the Elder Gods, the Attendant Gods are present and involved in mortal affairs. This tier includes Impulet, Degen, Per, and Bolduct.
Godling
Hierarchy
The offspring of divine beings, born from purely godly lineage. A child of an Attendant God is a godling, as is that child's child, and so on down the generations. Godlings possess divine influence but to a lesser degree than their progenitors.

Examples include Ribbon and Nettle (sons of Bolduct) and Noize (born from Impulet's afterbirth). The distinction between godling and demigod can blur considerably through generations of crossbreeding.
Demigod
Hierarchy
A being with both divine and mortal essence. Demigods can arise through direct union between god-line and human, or more indirectly mortals touched and transformed by divine influence. After generations of crossbreeding between godlings, demigods, and mortals, the lines become increasingly blurred.
The Cycling Sanctum
Place
A sacred temple devoted to Degen, built entirely from decomposing materials that regenerate themselves eternally. The walls are alive with moss and fungi, and the air smells of earth and fermentation.
Paperwood Temple
Place
The temple of Per's most devoted followers, centered around a towering spire of impossibly symmetrical geometry and absolutely perfect angles. The central tower, which is home to Bat, Per's chosen conduit and favored devotee, is surrounded by floating gleaming protection and sanitizing runes held flawless orbit, built to Per's exacting standards of symmetry and precision.

The temple grounds house living quarters for Per's most dedicated followers, ascetics who have devoted their lives to the pursuit of refinement and exactitude. Every surface gleams with reflection, every measurement is precise to the smallest degree, and the air hums with synchronized perfection.

Elums
Creature
...
Rotblooms
Creature
Beautiful flowers that grow from decomposing matter where Degen has slept. They bloom in spectacular colors but smell of decay. Their nectar is used in fermentation rituals and can induce visions.
Confluence Crystal
Item
Crytaline structures blessed by NoizeKid that allow multiple consciousnesses to merge temporarily into one unified experience.
Bolduct's Dice
Item
Blessed gambling dice that always land on the desired number when rolled by someone in genuine need. Counterfeits are common but true Bolduct's Dice are always warm to the touch.
Decomposition Jar
Item
A devotional practice towards Degen. Followers place a compostable offering - a piece of fruit, a flower, a small dead creature - into a sealed jar and observe its transformation over weeks or months.

As the contents rot and change, practitioners periodically record their observations and reflect on their own transformations, using decay as a mirror for personal growth and inevitable change. The practice teaches acceptance of life's cycles and beauty in impermanence.
Divine Influence
Concept
The measure of a god's power and their capacity to shape the world, both intentionally and inadvertently. Divine influence determines how much a deity can actively manipulate reality, but also how much they passively affect their surroundings simply by existing nearby. The more powerful gods must practice careful restraint and spiritual hygiene when walking among mortals, lest their mere presence warp the world around them.

Without such discipline, a god's nature bleeds into everything they touch: Degen's footsteps might cause flowers to wilt and rot, Per's gaze could impose perfect symmetry on crooked buildings, Bolduct's speech might ignite cold hearths. This passive influence can permanently alter mortals caught too close, transforming them into demigods through divine fallout.
