Deities

Overview: Religion is an important part of society. Many people look to religion for answers and support. In Terra Nullius, it is important to note that the deities don’t actually exist, choose not to interfere in mortal lives, or are barred from interfering for some reason. They’re very distant, if they’re real at all. If miracles or divine intervention actually occur, it could just as easily be written off as a chance or freak occurrence. There is no way to prove that any of these deities actually exist, and for that reason some people on Terra Nullius choose to be agnostic or atheist; those who consider deity worship to be a relic of a bygone era. However, there are still many flocks of faithful out there; the people that would insist that their deity is real and who have full faith in their deity. They champion their deity’s cause or just say a quiet prayer of thanks before bedtime. In some cases, entire governments and countries base their society around their religion.
