These deities would perform incredible miracles that would manifest into individual realities for each of the gods to rule over their followers. The reign of the gods was oppressive and cruel, which caused the people to revolt against their unrelenting tyranny. The overthrow of the divinity was the end of a dark age but it also covered up secrets that wouldn’t be revealed until decades later. Secrets that would finally come to light due to the brutal death of a government researcher of divine artifacts.
