Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | True God (真神) |
| Alias(es) | Sequence 0 deity; holder of a divine throne 132 359 |
| Role | A deity with authority over a pathway, typically sustained by believers’ faith 107 169 170 |
| First Appearance | Mentioned in connection with the Sun’s anticipated awakening 4 |
Godhood
- Ascension: Apotheosis requires a pathway’s characteristics, Uniqueness, and a Godhood Ritual. The Artisan’s ritual also drew on believers’ prayers and the Mirror of Reality before he became the Perfecter 117 170.
- Anchors: Believers help sustain a god’s identity. Badheil sought more human followers because the declining giant race could no longer provide enough anchors for him 107. The Artisan gathered his followers to support his ascension 170.
- Adjacent pathways: Advancement can expose a candidate to a powerful reviving will. This danger deterred angels of the Fool, Error, and Door pathways from attempting godhood for a time 172 174.
- Beyond Sequence 0: The formula for becoming a Great Old One involves a Sefirah and pathway Uniquenesses; it is a further position beyond that of a True God 117.
Authority and Limits
- Divine authority — True God authority operates on a different level from that of an angel. Bethel’s recorded True God-level attacks could serve as lifesaving measures, but they were insufficient to overcome a True God’s authority in direct combat 169.
- Divine kingdoms — Gods maintain kingdoms that can serve as strongholds or help defend Earth. Several moved theirs to the Astral World to reinforce the barrier against Outer Deities 192.
- Divine war — Clashes between True Gods can affect the physical world. The battle involving Night, War, and Life brought widespread slumber and rapid plant growth to Winter County 504.
- Mortality — True Gods can be killed. Truman defeated the Blood Emperor in direct combat; Badheil later died in battle against Amanises and Lilith 167 505.
