"It is part of the nature of mortals to worship that which they do not understand, what they do not know is that for this very same worship deities are born to fullfill their requests" -Elfurgn, Dragon-Seer of the Silver Flame.

After mortals were born after the cataclysmic battle between the Dragon God Andur and its eternal rival merely known as the Great Darkness they began to wonder what caused certain things to happen, this in turn led them to worship certain aspects of nature and these in turn would give birth to new young gods powered by the faith they held in them.

While the material plane floats in the endless void, with the elemental planes just at arm's reach and letting their chaotic powers pour into it, the plane of the deities is further away inside an hourglass like construct. The realm of each god can be seen as merely one of the countless sand grains that fill each side of the hourglass.

The upper side of the hourglass contains the heavenly realms, were the gods of good and law reside along their angel like servants and the souls of the departed that worshiped them, while the realm of each god is vastly different to accomodate their worshipers one can merely walk from one to the other given enough time.

In the bottleneck that allows contact between each side of the hourglass lay the Fields of Strife an endless battleground between the heavenly and infernal as it is the place were both realms meet.

On the lower side of the hourglass rest the infernal realms, were the gods of evil and chaos rest along side the demon and other infernal folk dwell, powerful enough demons also have their own realms with their own legions and those who seek to bring mortal souls into this side of the hourglass.

The Gods of Silveria
The gods that answer the prayers of mortals are quite varied in nature, some have faded away as the civilizations that once worshipped them disappeared, others are barely newborns in comparission to the older gods and are always looking foward to a way to expand their influnece. Whichever the case the actions of the gods are always due the desires of their worshippers.
