Only three gods are considered indisputably more powerful than the others: these are Varian, [[Galleus]], and Severn, the latter claiming to be the brother of the [[Celestine]]. Severn has been bested often in the past, however, so these claims may be only the perpetuations the God of [[Artifice]] is known for. | Only three gods are considered indisputably more powerful than the others: these are Varian, [[Galleus]], and Severn, the latter claiming to be the brother of the [[Celestine]].

== | === Vessels === | ||
{| class="wikitable" width= | All of the Gods of Sapience have a mortal vessel that their essence inhibits. The only exception is Dhar, and the Creator-level Gods (Varian, Galleus). Dhar's form is different to that of His siblings' in that He is a [[soul]] - the first created in Aetolia, and done by Varian's own hands. This unique circumstance allows the Underking certain advantages over His siblings, including being able to materalize without a vessel, and visiting the continent of [[Albedos]]. While a vessel is not necessary for the Gods to exist, it is necessary should they wish to materalize onto the Prime Material Prime. | ||
Typically, when a God gets injured, it is Their vessel that sustains the injury. Grievous injuries have been known to kill a God's vessel, forcing Them to seek a new one. There have been notable exceptions when a God's essence has been directly damaged. These injuries can usually never be recovered from. Examples include Severn losing His arm to the Kerrithrim in an attack that damaged His very essence, and Lanos being devoured by [[Ohlsana]], the Shadow Mother, forcing His essence to merge with the essence of Arion in order to survive. Another example, Lleis, has had the very fabric of Her essence changed such that She is no longer able to be recognized as a God. | |||
The effect on the God when taking a new shell varies wildly. Some Gods will change little, others will go as far as to change Their name. It is speculated that the degree of this change is influenced by how the God chooses to interact with their vessel's mind and memories. Some Gods will form a communion with their vessel, others will outright suppress or otherwise consume their vessel's mind. | |||
