Gods

Powerful beings whose existence to this date is highly debated in the world of the living, even though the gods' presence should be noticeable on Life by the merit of their interactions with sapience as a whole. They build up their power through a following and decide which afterlife their followers will end up in, though the existence of said afterlife is yet another hotly debated topic.

The theatre of the gods is one large political game where mere strength can no longer measure the outcome of a conflict. Every god is linked to one another in at least some way, even if it's through a mutual dislike of each other despite having never conversed.
