====== The New Gods ======
The new gods are physical divine beings, direct offspring of Astrea and Ouranos. These gods rarely manifest in the material plane, choosing instead to select champions and grant boons to those they find interesting or worthy. Each god is a divine aspect of some physical location or ideal. As such, the average citizen of Alaraes worships each deity as needed, they may pray to Arwain before setting sail, Yorlan for creative inspiration, or Jov before the toss of the dice, hoping he will grant them luck, and blame any and all misfortune on Arkon.
