![]() If not Ao, then at least the leader of a pantheon, so Odin might have the ability, or Zeus (Greek), Correlon (elves), etc, but it's usually AO who does this, or the overdeity in the game's pantheon. Depending on the rules you use, she'd get another deity, usually a parent, to petition Ao the Overgod to ascend her to divinity, and then she'd derive strength from Her faithful. Maybe she'd serve one of her parents, or maybe not. If Nalkara wanted to, of course, she could drum up followers, and start a faith. "God" is sort of another creature type, with its own requirements. Empyreans/titans, on the other hand, lack this spark of divinity they don't grant spells, don't have churches, and aren't required to support anyone. Even the mightiest beings, upon becoming deities, might find their divine strength paltry, since number of followers is the source of their might. Gods who don't perform miracles don't appease their faithful, will find their power dwindling. In D&D, gods have this, and it both gives them their powers, and straps them to their followers. The difference is the spark of the divine. If they lose their followers, they'll die and become asteroids in the Astral Plane. They have the spark, and can grant spells. ![]() They are the children of Thor, and the people who might worship the Norse Pantheon worship them. When he died, Zeus elevated him to godhood, and from then on He had a church, worshipers, and a need to provide for these beings. No clerics deriving spells from drinking in his name. When Hercules lived, he was the same an immensely potent mortal, but no church dedicated to him. Nalkara isn't a goddess because she doesn't have the spark of the divine she doesn't have worshipers who empower her, and doesn't need to maintain these faithful to exist. So, Thyrm and Auril have a child, and Auril names her Nalkara. I know that doesn't help, especially when you account for Greek Titans being the PARENTS of gods, not their offspring, but in D&D, an Empyrean is a child of divinity that simply doesn't have a faith based around it.
