Blessings and Soul Ceremonies
When someone is born, they are blessed by the gods, giving them aspects of their character. When a child turns 12, they go through their Soul Ceremony, where a priest or priestess of each god places a drop of blood their blood onto a crystal. The crystal takes the color(s) of the gods they were blessed by. Each person is given a bigger blessing by a certain god, who becomes their patron god. It is this god that leads them through the gates of Cyphneas. In the rare instance, a person is blessed by only one god. In these cases, they are gifted with a new name from their god that they are given at their Soul Ceremony. Most of the time, these people become the priests or priestesses of their God.

Cyphneas
Cyphneas is the City of the Gods. It is the place where the dead dwell. Each area of the city is meant for the peoople blessed by their god. When a person dies, they are guided to Cyphneas by their god from the place they died. Cyphneas is a real, tangible place located in the north-western region of the Northern Alps. The exact location is unknown to any living person, only those that have died know where it is.

Demons
If a person dies and is seen as unworthy by their god, they are not allowed to pass through the gates of Cyphneas and instead become a demon for their god. Demons are the minions or followers of their God. They do their bidding and depending on their god, they take different forms.

Numbers
12 is considered a lucky number because it is how many gods there are, excluding Immitis. 13 is unlucky because it is including Immitis. Each God has their own number.
