FULL Version

The FULL Version also contains the following articles:

Relics of the Gods: A list of three very powerful artefacts from three different deities in my home campaign, which hopefully gives you some inspiration to create your own. You can also use these by changing the deity’s name.

Mysteries of the Divine: A list of some secret cults within established churches. Some are extremists who are shunned, while others are welcome within the church.

Ascension of the Pious: An article on how your character can become a demi-god. This is a different take on demi-god, as vessels for their deity that is created, not born.
