WHAT IS A GOD
What is a god in Campione?
In the universe of Campione!, a god is a powerful supernatural entity whose existence originates from the beliefs, myths, and legends of human civilizations. These divine beings cover a broad spectrum of domains, ranging from natural elements and cosmic forces to abstract concepts and aspects of the human condition. Although they are immensely powerful, their relationship with the human world and their influence on it can vary significantly, especially when considering traditional gods versus Heretic Gods.
Origin of the Gods
Birth of Magical Spirits Initially, gods were magical spirits born from the flow of magical energy that permeated the world at its dawn. These spirits, though unaware of their own nature, possessed immense power that, inadvertently, caused disasters and inexplicable phenomena in their surroundings.
Worship and Humanization
To appease these beings and mitigate the disasters they caused, humans began to worship them, granting them identities, roles, and narratives. Through this process of worship and mythification, the magical spirits transformed into the gods of the various mythologies we know today, rooted in cultures around the world.
Creation of the Mythical Realm
The accumulation of faith, beliefs, and narratives about these gods eventually led to the creation of the Mythical Realm, a parallel dimension that serves as home for these divine beings. This realm is both a product of human belief and an autonomous space where gods reside, interact, and wield their power.
Heretic Gods:
A Twist in the Divine Narrative Heretic Gods represent those gods who, feeling constrained by the narratives and roles imposed by human beliefs, choose to rebel against these limitations. Their power does not derive from worship or fame, but from their own will and determination to transcend their original mythology and act independently of human expectations. In doing so, they challenge conventional notions of divinity and can cause significant changes or even disasters in the human world.
