Shepherds of Creation

Also means every being that walks the land is in the same boat as everyone else. Explains why you have all these completely different pretenders available for each faction.

But there is rigth and wrong! As the sacred texts of any religion would tell you .

Not sure if I get your greater conflict thing. Please explain.

There is a primordial conflict but it is only hinted at. The world is already created by higher beings, but the demiurge is not aware of this. The demiurge is petty and ignorant, not unlike Ialdabaoth. I considered introducing the higher spheres from which he got his spirit, but the myth would perhaps be too long. I also considered making the part covering the seven corners and their races longer, but stopped myself.

BTW would it bother anyone if the God of each nation was fixed and premade according to later developments of the myth?

Is this kind of background good as it is, good if complemented with special units/sites/features or just a curiosity?
