=What makes a god, god?=
In my story I use the concept of god as in someone that is seen as a divine being but they themselves don’t see as one nor they are gods.
I refer to “gods” in my story as the people/beings that were responsible to teaching/transmitting the knowledge/power to the rest of the people though no matter how much the other people would train they wouldn’t be as good as the “gods” even when following the code simply cause the “gods” have a direct contact/link with the energy of the elements, something that no one else can have and the “gods” don’t know how they got to be that way.
The “gods” since they can’t die by mortal means(like aging) they can live almost forever but they can still die.So that helped them to pass their teaching to future generations and after people noticed that, some got built temples, others by knowing this asked also for a place and got shrines/temples too, though smaller. Some after small wars or disputes got built one as a reward for helping out.
Sadly, most of them(if not all) died after a few huge wars that happened almost one after the other or lost themselves after it as they didn’t where to be seen, so people got pissed and tried to destroy their sacred places but the “gods” had placed special seals on them which protected their places in case they would return, some didn’t run the same luck and got destroy completely.
Some of the “gods” also developed new technology but didn’t distributed to the people for fear they might give them bad use,( which ended up happening, therefore wars) so they just kept them to themselves. Just their sacred places used that technology but the ones that were no harm for people.
One of the things I want to use as a plot moving thing in my story is the search for a “god” that is spoken to be alive. Either the protagonists are task to do so or they find out themselves by other means.
Oh, and one of them is the only one who knows who they are, where they come from but doesn’t know why at that moment.
