The gods may be frequent actors in the world of Orizon, but they rarely, almost never, interact with the world in their fullness. There was a time when they did, significant figures in the ancient world had often met with the gods personally to discuss magic, philosophy, and the sciences. This involvement rose the people up to even further heights, to their state of wonders. And that power led them to destroy the world. Soltis and the other ancient gods remember this time, they remember these mistakes. As the head of the pantheon, Soltis prevents excessive involvement from the other gods, or at least overt involvement. The gods still make appearances in the world, but in lesser forms, mortal guises or at a level of power akin to powerful spirits.
The way the gods act most frequently is through their chosen, empowering them so that they may be able to enact the god’s will in the world, without requiring the god’s action. Sometimes the gods do manifest in their fullness of power and glory, but this is so rare that almost no one alive has ever seen it happen.
When the gods try to intercede directly, they will do even this through proxies, sending out angels or spirits to act in their stead.
Gods and Adventurers
Adventurers are an enjoyable tool for the gods, they are fascinating in their mortal follies and useful in their skills. Sometimes a god will send messages to strong adventurers, or adventurers that Norn has indicated have a potent destiny. They will send these adventurers out to succeed at trials or quests. Sometimes the gods use mortals to settle disputes, betting on an adventurer’s success or failure.
