There are a plethora of Gods and spirits worshiped in Telluvial, all going by different names in different languages. Protokeros are no exception to this, although each individual has a patron deity; a God or Goddess that is attuned to them, and it is believed this patron shapes their life journey by granting special gifts in the God's domain. (It is extremely rare, but some Protokeros have more than one patron.) Some Gods overlap into the same minor domains, but represent different alignments and goals within those realms.

There are different tiers of power: Major Gods, Minor Gods, Greater Spirits, Lesser Spirits, and Pseudo-Spirits.

Major Gods are the most powerful supernatural entities and have been around since the beginning of days. These few are the most widely revered and respected, reigning over all living things.

Minor Gods, while not as great in stature as their Major brethren, still hold a place of high honor. They essentially manage finer details in the stewardship of the world, reigning over Spirits.

Greater Spirits are incorporeal, and require an affinity for magic to see or interact with them. They are a step below the Minor Gods, managing more menial tasks in regards to their specific regions.

Lesser Spirits are also incorporieal, and are merely servants of the Greater Spirits.

Pseudo-Spirits are entities that have taken a mortal form, residing in various regions as stewards of the land. The Protokeros are such entities, and in ages past, were once worshiped by lesser beings.
