I. The Legacy Keepers
An organization of historians and mystics who preserve knowledge of fallen deities.
· The Archivists of Lost Divinity:
Collect artifacts and oral histories related to departed gods
Maintain hidden libraries in the mortal realm's forgotten places
Seek to prevent divine knowledge from being weaponized
· The Weavers of Karma:
Believe all divinity leaves eternal echoes in reality's fabric
Can trace residual energy patterns to locate divine fragments
Practice memory-weaving rituals to reconstruct lost godly events
II. The God-Fragment Hunters
Mortal and immortal beings who actively pursue shards of divine power
1. The Ascended Corporation
· Modern mortals using technology to detect and harvest divine energy
· Create artificial divine hybrids through scientific means
· View godhood as a resource to be exploited
2. The Shadow Pantheon
· Former minor gods who survived the great divine collapse
· Hunt fragments to rebuild their own diminished power
· Will betray any alliance to reclaim their lost status
III. The Resonance Entities
Beings born from the interaction between mortal beliefs and fading divinity
· Echo-Wraiths:
Formed from concentrated worship of forgotten deities
Feed on residual faith and religious artifacts
Can temporarily manifest divine abilities in areas of strong belief
· Conceptual Parasites:
Entities that attach to abstract divine domains (love, war, knowledge)
Grow stronger as they consume related mortal experiences
Can corrupt divine fragments they inhabit
IV. Major Conflicts
The Three-Way Hunt
· Legacy Keepers vs Fragment Hunters vs Resonance Entities
· Each seeks divine fragments for different purposes: preservation, power, or consumption
The Mortal Question
· Should humanity be protected from or exposed to divine forces?
· Debates over whether new gods should emerge from mortal ranks
The Echo War
· Fighting proxy battles through manipulated mortal agents
· Using economic, social, and technological systems as weapons
