In the early ages, gods were understood as static, unyielding pillars of the cosmic substrate—manifestations of order, elemental balance, and natural law. Modern research, however, reveals a far more volatile truth: divine entities are dynamic concentrations of planar energy, bound to the collective belief and emotional resonance of the worlds they anchor.
When an anchor world collapses or is forcibly absorbed, its deity undergoes catastrophic aspecting. Without a stable domain, a god degrades into a consumer of raw world energy, driven by primal impulses. The Monolith's recent rituals demonstrate that divine essence can be unseated and reshaped.
