Divinity

“If they are not watching, then why does the fire still burn when I call it?”

—Herald of Pyril

Divinity is a polytheistic religion centred on the reverence of many worldly gods believed to act upon the realm of Azura through unseen, indirect means. The gods of Divinity do not reveal themselves through physical manifestation or spoken word; rather, they are perceived through their blessings, curses, and phenomena collectively known as summons. To followers, these gods represent elemental or conceptual forces—beings of influence rather than presence.

Divinity is one faith, but not one practice. The religion is ubiquitous across Tykonia, but it is Larova where Divinity is most institutionalized, and a powerful institution at that. Though other minor faiths may make their claim in the minds of Kynd, the myriad doctrines of Divinity are a cultural mainstay in Tykon.

Many gods of Divinity are worshipped within their halls, some of which are yet to be revealed.

Attunement

To interact with a god’s power, an individual must undergo a mystical alignment process known as Attunement, or Vitae, which can be done once they've reached their required age (i.e., 16 for Humans). Attunement binds a person to one god at a time, allowing them to call upon divine forces through Summons—supernatural blessings or curses bestowed by the gods.

Unlike Spellcasting, Summons typically do not require the use of Mana to initiate. However, maintaining a connection to a Summon (especially in battle or prolonged rituals) draws upon the attuned individual’s Mana reserves over time. However, they can use spells that are specific to each god as well. E.g., Pyril Divinators can use summons of Pyril and also Fire spells.

Attunement is not immediate; re-aligning from one god to another is a taxing process that may take anywhere from several hours to days. You may only be attuned to one god at any given time—those who attempt to channel more risk mental instability, or spiritual disintegration.

By contrast, those who undergo Severance—to use Grounding—make attunement to Divinity impossible. To the faithful, Severance is a heretical rejection of the gods themselves.

Gods of Divinity

The gods of the Midyan Pantheon are not dominated by a unified divine doctrine or heirarchy. Rather, they are separated into rites, or scripts. These rites dictate both the aspect of the world these gods impart onto others, and how old they are compared to the other rites. The Old Rite are the oldest, predating the Midyan Pantheon, and are the most worshiped among hinterlanders and tribals—the Epiphanic Rite, or The Epiphanies are the most prominently worshiped among the City of Larova—and the New Script are the chronologically youngest gods amongst the Larovan Interpretation, only being a few hundred years old in worship after the rise of urban society.

Divinity Levels & Progression

Different levels have been established to identify your magical prowess and the summons' tier. All levels have different levels for armour usage and what tier of summons or spells they can cast.

An emergent Divinity user who has freshly attuned to this magic. They do not know much except the very basics, and have control of some spells and summons at a low level. With their mana pool, they can cast Acolyte spells. Divinators can use plate at maximum for armour. Paladins can use plate at maximum for armour.

Free-to-play

Devoted — Free-to-Play

An ascendant Divinity user who has mastered a specific path and finds themself in a deep state of faith for this god in particular. With their mana pool, they can cast Herald & an Archon spell. Divinators can use gambeson to the maximum for armour. Paladins can use 6 pieces of plate armour at maximum.

Divinity Classes and Slots

There are two classes of Divinity users: Divinator & Paladin. These different classes are given more spell & summon slots according to the balance.

By worshipping one god, they can earn their trust and access newfound abilities. Although someone can worship as many of the gods as they wish, they can only practice one kind of divinity and one kind of elemental magic (e.g., a Pyril Divinator can only use summons from him & the elemental magic attached to Him, fire.)

Spell & Summon Slots: a list of spells and summons that Divinity users know how to cast/use. Depending on what class you are in, you would only have access to that number of spells/summons. (E.g. A devoted Paladin will only be able to cast Smoke, Meld, and Fever novice spells & devoted summons if those are the 2 spells & 1 summon they chose.)

The amount of spells & summons that you can cast before running out of mana depends on the level of the spells or summons, how many times you use them, and for how long before your mana depletes.
