Demi-gods

Quasi-divine beings who either serve, or are aspects of the full gods as avatars, manifestations, or masks. There are dozens of these, some only existing for a short time or a limited purpose, before rejoining their gods. All are immortal and of immense power, some have worshipers and may grant divine spells. Some demi-gods are former mortals elevated to divinity by a god for great virtue or service. This class of beings is called Heroes.
