Auxigon

CanonOfficial lore from the booksSSGp. 21-22 SoVp. 24

Auxigon is the proper religious term for divine beings whose portfolios and influence are limited. Some scholars call them Lesser Gods, but that name is not preferred, because it is considered disrespectful.¹

Nature

The Auxigons stand below the Greater Gods because their powers cover a narrower concept or a particular region of the physical world. Nature spirits, gods of the seasons, local deities and malevolent gods of destruction can all be counted among them.²

Not every Auxigon has the same degree of power. It is generally believed that the more worship and devotion an Auxigon receives, the more powerful it becomes.²

Agmon, the god of trade, is described as one of the lesser gods loyal to the Greater God Alarath.³

Stolen divinity

Legends tell that mortals could steal the divinity of these gods and seize their portfolios through risky rituals and incredible power. Some scholars claim that certain Auxigons are "ascended" mortals, but even to speak of this idea can be considered heresy.²
