Ascendants

Ascendants are the most powerful beings in Thamos.

Gods
The following Gods exist in Thamos: Gods, more so than other Ascendants, are capable of drawing from their followers Life Force, channelling chaos through them to a certain degree. This greatly amplifies a God's power and allows them to achieve truly godlike feats. Gods also often give rise to a Demesne, a place outside the material plane created entirely through Channelling.

Gods, as all other Ascendants, can be killed which sometimes results in a Shattering. There, for instance, once a God of Balance but she was shattered a long time ago. Pieces of her still exist, but have taken on new roles or been absorbed by other beings. This is particularly so where a Demesne of the God is involved.

Sometimes, a God puts more and more of his own being into his Demesne, thereby increasing its power and size, and granting it a semblance of sentience. This, however, leaves the God vulnerable both to an attack and to diminishing too much. Many Demesnes exist today that have lost their God and taken on new forms of their own, becoming independent beings. Some Demesnes are later claimed by a new Ascendant - or even mere mortal who through this then ascends - allowing the claimant to tap into the Demesne's power.
