Deities: Best Anonymous

In the world, deities are plenty. Temples and shrines are scattered to worship the myriad of deities, however worshipers never learned their names. Only the highest priests and priestess have learn the names of their deity, and such knowledge is kept secret. With such secrets, the deities are best acknowledge by the form they take and the profession they appear as.

Lorekeepers debate the reason for this and blame the events that lead to Second Age of the world, the age when the world was cover in darkness and cataclysm. During the first age, the deities had direct connection to the world and help bring prosperity to all facades of the world. The people of the world grew pampered and arrogant from the gods' presence. The gods felt necessary to remove themselves from the world, and the world entered the Second Age when a star fell to the ground.

After centuries of turmoil, the deities return to guide and influence the world. Taken only mortal forms, they stayed anonymous in their actions. They also began appearing as visions to wise men and leaders, allowing monuments and temples to began to appear again across the world. Even when they grew notable and return to the world, they kept their names to themselves.
