Citygod: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:42, 17 June 2024

A Citygod is an individual who has been corrupted to the point they embody a particular aspect of Nodd, and thus far have always been paired with an opposing aspect. Their powerful presence is innately entwined with their given aspect, and a Citygod distorts their immediate surroundings, distortions which change depending on their mood. Confined within their luxurious quarters within the Spire, few citizens have ever seen a Citygod. Revered and feared in equal measure, only the Unseen Ones deal directly with them in any meaningful capacity.

Any citizens offered to the Citygods as entertainment rarely remember the full experience afterwards if they survive, and inevitably are changed by the experience in an unpredictable manner. Many refer to this as the Citygod's "blessing", as dubious an honor as it might be.

The Citygods are the founders of their given Houses and potent cityspeakers, serving as both figureheads and leaders. They vie amongst one another for power and prominence, working through their House's doings to expand their influence.

+A Citygod is an individual who has been corrupted to the point they embody a particular aspect of Nodd, and thus far have always been paired with an opposing aspect. Their powerful presence is innately entwined with their given aspect, and a Citygod distorts their immediate surroundings, distortions which change depending on their mood. Confined within their luxurious quarters within [[The Council Spire|the Spire]], few citizens have ever seen a Citygod. Revered and feared in equal measure, only the [[Unseen Ones]] deal directly with them in any meaningful capacity.
-Citygods are confined to their quarters, which could be considered a small palace as much as a prison. Few have any firsthand tales to tell and it is only the Unseen Ones who deal directly with the citygods. It is known, however, that they are imminently powerful and wildly corrupted. The unlucky few thrown to the citygods as playthings never come out unscathed. While few remember any concrete events that occurred almost all who have ever been around one come away "blessed."
+Any citizens offered to the Citygods as entertainment rarely remember the full experience afterwards if they survive, and inevitably are changed by the experience in an unpredictable manner. Many refer to this as the Citygod's "blessing", as dubious an honor as it might be.
-====Citygod's Blessing====
+The Citygods are the founders of their given [[Houses and Cults|Houses]] and potent [[Cityspeakers|cityspeakers]], serving as both figureheads and leaders. They vie amongst one another for power and prominence, working through their House's doings to expand their influence.
-A citygod's presence alone is enough to warp every aspect of reality nearby in ways varying based on their mood, individual demeanor, and particular aspect. As such, the term "bless" is dubious indeed.
-A citizen acting particularly strangely might be said to be "blessed" as something of a slang usage.
-====Contents of Citygods Page====
-The six [[Citygod|citygods]] of Nodd are powerful, heavily corrupted beings that are revered and worshipped as much as feared and reviled.
-Little is known about the process involved in becoming a citygod or if there even is a single precise process. Each is imminently powerful and deeply intertwined with their relative aspects. The citygods are also extremely sensitive [[cityspeakers]], which some believe to be related to their intense corruption and power alike. They work as both a figurehead and situationally as an actual leader to the Houses, interpreting their role in the city and vying with the others for power and prominence through their House's doings.
