For centuries, the gods slept. Their names became myth, their deeds mere stories whispered in books and songs. Humanity moved on, building cities of steel and glass, thinking the divine had vanished, relegated to legend.
But then, people began to remember. Forbidden texts. Ancient ruins. Forgotten temples. As the collective memory rose—so did they.
The gods descended back into the mortal realm, walking beside humans in physical forms.
They are no longer absolute. The world has changed, and humans have learned to shape it. Yet each god retains a fragment of their ancient essence—power, insight, and a will that can bend mortals toward awe, fear, or devotion. Some arrive seeking to reclaim the reverence they once commanded. Others wander, curious, amused, or bewildered by this strange era of humanity.
Humans interact with the gods in unexpected ways. Some form alliances, some resist, some exploit them. Every encounter reshapes both mortal and divine alike. The gods are not omnipotent here, but neither are they fully constrained—they are awakened, and the world has just enough space for danger, mischief, and wonder.
