Hua Xian Deities

Divinity in Hua Xia is fairly similar to other sets of religious knowledge.

At first, when a person finds enough strength to be able to battle multiple foes with little difficulty, they become known as a warrior. This begins them on a path to continue growing in strength and collecting knowledge to become physically and mentally stronger.

When a warrior breaks past their mortal limit of power, they have the choice to limit themselves on the material plane and remain until the end of their life, or they can ascend to become a deity. They are taken to the higher planes that watch over the mortal plane, whether in a heavenly place, or a hell-like landscape based on their given role, which depends on what occupation they previously had in their mortal life.

The previous deity who worked the role ascends once again and becomes an ancestral advisor to guide the new deity. They can provide assistance with their own abilities if they wish to intervene, but their main role is to simply help the deity make good decisions.

Once an ancestral advisor has completed their task, they can ascend one more time to become an ancient ancestor. They have the choice to become dormant and rest eternally, peacefully, or stay present and spectate the ongoings of Hua Xia, providing assistance only in times of dire emergency.

The list below compiles the various deities set in Hua Xia. Each deity will be sorted by the era they ascended to their higher being. Bear in mind there are some Faerun deities that can be used, but only their existence is known, not their origin of location.
