Translation from ancient Antegallimarian. "Did they acquire the Shard because it was their destiny? Or was it cause and effect? Or, are cause and effect, and destiny, one and the same." -The First Sage.
There are nine separate groups worshipped throughout the Realmwork, often categorized as Above, Below, Between, and Beyond.
There are no actual gods in the Realmwork, the closest beings to be such were the Archons, but they disappeared long ago. Faith is a powerful concept, just as powerful as magic in the hands of those who know how to wield faith.
Archons - The 10 draconic deities who created the Realmwork and connected the scattered remains of their progenitors into the Phantarion Lattice.
Exalted - The devout disciples of the Avandrian High Church, immortalized by Alor the Godking of Valantos, chosen by the church to bear the mantle of divinity.
Onyxian Lords - The seven former celestials who were cast out of Valanthos by Alor. Now, as devils, they rule the realm of Alcarces from within their prison-like obsidian towers.
Primordials - The original servitors of the Archons who embody the four primal elements.
Forbidden Idols - The collection of corrupted and wicked deities that defy virtue and morality. Worship of these idols is seen as heinous and atrocious by many.
Exalts - The capricious fairy lords and ladies of the enchanting seasonal realms of Myras.
Greater Deities - The primary host of deities worshiped on Galimahr. These deities constitute the majority of religious worship.
Outer Gods - The host of strange, eternal beings that originate from beyond the boundaries of Obyrius,
Attaining godhood: Shards of Divinity
There were 8 God Crystals, each one owned by one of the Archons in their time. During the Divinity Crisis, they were each shattered into 5 pieces, resulting in 40 Divinity Shards. One shard grants its owner god-like powers.
