Pantheon of Gods

The Pantheon
The Pantheon basically is a list of gods that are known, listed in a hierarchy based on the interpretation of power/influence of conscious beings.
Within the pantheon differences exist. The differences are usually based on Devotion and thus power/influence.
The Pantheon lists gods in a hierarchy, but the hierarchy is imperfect and can be changed, depending on how the story of the world turns out, since the power of a god depends on devotion.
What is a god/goddess?
Description: A God is a supernatural being considered sacred and worthy of worship, often believed to have authority over some aspect/domain of existence.
"God" is a status: It enables limited but hard to overcome immortality, resistance and power, but depends on devotion and thus can change. Thus this status can be changed, given or taken.
Domain/Aspect: Gods are representatives of physical and mental attributes, patterns of behavior, believes or even the basic principals for existence.
Devotion: Believing, behaving or acting in a way an aspect or domain covers grants the connected god power. The more influential/powerful these influences, believes, behaviors or acts are, the more power is granted to the god of the specific domain. The devotion of a thing is also the source to fuel the godly powers of believers.
Hierarchy of Gods
The Origin
"The Origin" is the most mysteries and rarely devoted to group of gods known to existence. Members of the Origin need no devotion to exist for existence is a fact. The intention of "The Origin" is impossible to read. It stands for "Creation" in the truest sense of the word. The term "creation" has been adapted by other gods but true creation is bound to "The Origin", a force that came out of nothingness and created the pillars of existence. True Followers of this path are older then dragons, giants, Devils, Demons, Angels and most individuals that claim to be old. The only followers known to modern history seem to be Arnem and Ishnar, the Snake Twins (Yuan-Ti).
