EASTWOOD: First things first, gods and all that comes with it.
EASTWOOD: This is a little lesson in what we call the cosmic hierarchy. I'm not the best person to ask on this, but I know enough.
EASTWOOD: So everything we got out here in physical territory has its place.
EASTWOOD: Generally the higher you go, the more powerful and divine you get.
EASTWOOD: The lower you get, the closer you get to this shit called horrors, which you don't need to worry about until you get physical.
EASTWOOD: They can't bother you here unless someone makes them and the only reason I bring them up is for the sake of being thorough.
EASTWOOD: Up top, you have high gods.
EASTWOOD: High gods can create land, people, and any other kind of life. Wax is the high god of our pantheon.
EASTWOOD: They can also make greater gods, like Wretch and Spit, and lesser gods like myself.
EASTWOOD: Greater gods can only edit and modify existing terrain, but they can create people, life, and lesser gods.
EASTWOOD: Lesser gods work for greater gods, greater gods work for high gods.
EASTWOOD: Got it?
VOIDSY: Got it…we think.
EASTWOOD: Gods like you, collectives or other non-physical gods existing only on this plane, are just a bit below lesser gods.
EASTWOOD: There's ways to become a physical lesser god though, which we'll get to.
EASTWOOD: You're still a god, but you don't technically…exist where we're at.
EASTWOOD: All gods are conditionally immortal, which is to say we can live forever without aging until we are killed.
EASTWOOD: All gods can work with motifs.
EASTWOOD: Motifs are basically items, aspects, elements, whatever- they relate to your form.
EASTWOOD: You can create whatever you want within that, but it drains your energy when you start doing higher scale stuff.
EASTWOOD: You can only create motifs here on the TCP plane, but anything relating to your motifs is gonna have some kind of amplified power.
EASTWOOD: Other gods WILL use motifs, so you better make use of them too.
EASTWOOD: Mine are crystals and smoke, Wretch has sludge, Miller has flowers and breezes, and Spit has flesh…and smoke as well.
VOIDSY: Ours is masks, we think. Maybe space as well? We're not entirely sure…
EASTWOOD: Sweet. We can make that work.
