The World of Eon is a very spiritual world where each person in the world forms their own link with a deity, or many deities. The gods of Eon are in everyone's life and make an impact in day-to-day activities. Although the deities are not corporeal, and do not physically alter the world on a daily basis their power is still felt and respected. A farmer who does not pray to Nevis may not harvest the best crop, nor will a group of adventures who do not ask Epris for guidance have an easy time in the forest. Unlike some religions, this is not superstition. The deities inhabit every area of their individual realms, Dakar is in every fire, Madras in every humanoid, and Epris in every tree. Not talking to them through prayer is equivalent to ignoring a shopkeeper when you go to market.

Some deities have abstract portfolios—like Tallin or Tycho—and as such have an abstract existence. Tallin, for example, thrives in just decisions and honourable retribution, where Tycho lives in chaotic yet free actions, when freedoms are defended and upheld. For the commoner, every deity plays a role in their lives. One may evoke Tallin or Malaran’s name when they want a just or peaceful ending to a robbery, or even a murder. Tycho would be evoked by the everyday commoner during a sports game, calling chaotic strength to overcome their opponent.

Many people choose a single god to represent their way of life (but never forgetting, or ignoring the others). A farmer may pay regular tribute to Nevis, but always remember that Pune is the one who sends the rains on his lands. Adventures commonly choose one deity. A fighter may choose Tycho for his free flowing strength, evoking his name each time he enters a battle so he will never be subdued, or if he fears becoming too chaotic, may evoke Nevis’ rock-hard strength instead. For this fighter, he does not forget that Herat gives him the Breath of Eon, nor does he ignore the fact that Ife guides him, he just chooses Nevis as his patron god.

For the most part, there is little conflict between worshippers of different deities. A worshipper of Lyon has no ill feelings toward a worshipper of Nevis, nor has any special preference towards worshippers of Dakar. Personal allegiances toward other worshippers are left up to the individual. Years of intrigue have made some alliances and rifts between clergy of certain deities. For example, priests of Tallin cannot stand priests of Tycho; their senses of justice are very different. Priests of Lyon and priests of Dakar occasionally see eye to eye on many subjects, but act in very different ways. These differences and alliances exists within the churches, and rarely spread into the general public.

Since the Age of Storms, many new divine forces have entered the pantheon. Many of the new divine call themselves ‘Lords’ for they gained divine status not through Eon but by their own, often nefarious, deeds. They are not recognized by the Gods, and are in fact in the midst of an ongoing battle with them. The Gods fear the new divine Lords because they have gained the power and notoriety to be worshipped by many followers. As such, many of the Gods have changed their focus to regain the upper hand in the divine realm and in Eon.

Before the Lords arrived, good and evil was a choice to be made by the Children of Madras, not the Gods. The Gods existed in Law and Chaos. With the rise of the Dark Lords, the Gods have gathered together on the opposing side of the Lords. Many have changed their alignment to better assist the true powers of Eon.
