Deity Creation

Archetypes are deities that represent aspects of experience and emotion and are typically symbolic such as love, hate, duality, reflection, art, music, travel, happiness, war, peace, insanity, and more.

Demigods are deities that have access to only small portions of the deity that created them and usually are over subdomains, vague concepts, or even more specific things. For example, a forest deity could have demigods within their forest that are demigods over specific trees within their forest. Or, an archetypal god of war could have demigods who represent certain types of wars or different aspects of war. An archetypal goddess of sadness could have demigods of mourning, parting-friends, divorce, or other forms of sadness and depression.
