The Gygasi

The "false" gods of Altheris. These are ideas or mortals who achieved deification through the Rite of Apotheosis or other means, foregoing their individualism and mortality to become conceptual - an abstract that can persist beyond mortal life, so long as it is remembered and worshiped. The nature of becoming a Gygasi can be varied depending on many factors, but the true nature of Gygasi is an deeply hidden secret; the few mortals who know of such paths fear it could lead to a new power struggle to attain divinity, while the gods despise the notion of mortals joining their ranks. Gygasi, like most other deities, are bound by the Everpact to not directly influence life on Altheris, and must cast their will through followers or those willing to open their hearts and minds to the Gygasi's will.
