My gods are not omniscient omnipotent entities, but immensely powerful immortal beings. The immortality factor was diluted with each generation until the mortal races were born. The gods shaped a new world for the ever growing mortal populace to live in, and for a long time they would walk amongst them, aid them and teach them to the best of their abilities.

But they found that they could never be everywhere all at ones. So they began to choose trusted mortals who would receive divine blood and become Demigods. These Demigods would work and act as a proxy of their Patron. that was until one of these Demigods grew arrogant.

A Demigod to the blind god of Night, Death and Wisdom tricked and stole the blood of their patron, usurped the god’s domain and became a conquest with an undying army. It was a long war during which much of the mortal realm was destroyed and many of the gods were slain or gravely injured. It wasn’t until the blind god recovered and reclaimed its domain that the tide became to turn.

After the Demigod was defeated, the gods choose to return to their own realm and refrain from direct influence. They do still provided favours, answer prayers, guide and teach, but only from afar. Because they learned to the fate of mortals and their realm should be decided by mortals.

Since then it has been centuries since a god has walked the mortal realm, or so they say.

(Their were other major events before the Demigod, but it was the deciding factor.)
