The gods of Orizon are powerful, and they occasionally make forays into the world of mortals and find themselves lovers there. The children of these trysts are rare, and many die young, unable to survive the rigors of fate that are drawn by their divine blood. Those demigods that survive are often extremely powerful and share some of the nature of their divine parent’s aspect.
Some demigods reject their fate and try to live mundane lives; some of them become powerful adventurers, sent on grand quests by their divine parentage; still others come on into direct service to their parents, interceding for them in the world of mortals.
