Inwards facing gods
From Vanathul Wiki
About
Inwards Facing Gods are usually at the level of Minor Powers in the cosmuc scale of divine strength
These gods are entities that are beyond mortals in most ways. They grant spells to their followers, and in some cases influence affairs on the material plane - though this is regulated by some set of checks and balances said not to be fully comprehensible to a mortal mind.
Some can be traced as far back as the latter half of the first dark age (The Age of Rust), and others are as young as the start of the Ornian Renaissance, if not even younger. The nature of their ascension, or even the nature of their existence differ greatly, form some being incarnated as a physical being on the material plane, and others being a living doctrine, or pattern of behavior.
Though they are beyond conventional mortality, they are neither omnipotent nor omniscient. Meaning that most of the lives of common men and women are below the notice of these higher beings. Their attention is mainly on selected faithful and other powerful actors, and the broad picture of their portfolio as it is expressed throughout the domains they influence.
