# Gods and Faiths The divine record is divided by **known classification**, not by whether a god is currently worshipped. | Group | Meaning | Index | |---|---|---| | **Present Gods** | The twelve gods identified in *The World of Tarin* as the New Gods of the post-Breaking world | [[Present Gods]] | | **Major Old Gods** | Named gods of the pre-Breaking pantheon recorded in the original Lore Index | [[Major Old Gods]] | | **Lesser Pagan Gods** | Smaller, stranger or more local pagan divinities recorded separately in the original Lore Index | [[Lesser Pagan Gods]] | | **Unclassified Divine Entities** | Ko and closely related entities whose exact place in the divine hierarchy remains unknown | [[Unclassified Divine Entities]] | | **Faiths & Religious Movements** | Doctrines, customs and religious organisations | [[Faiths and Religious Movements]] | | **Prophecies & Religious Mysteries** | Prophecies and unresolved religious records | [[Prophecies and Religious Mysteries]] | ## Important distinctions - **Present God** and **New God** refer to the same twelve-god pantheon in the current records. - **Old God** and **Pagan God** are often used interchangeably in historical and campaign sources. - **Major Old Gods** and **Lesser Pagan Gods** remain separate because the original Lore Index treated them as separate groups. - [[Ko]] is deliberately unclassified: the records allow for Ko to be an Architect, an Old God, both, or something else. - [[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/04 - Gods & Faiths/03 - Lesser Pagan Gods/Zxella/Zxella|Zxella]] is an Old Pagan God revealed in *The Rose of Igoda*. His precise rank is not yet known. ## Related cosmology - [[Current Cosmology Summary]] - [[The New Gods]] - [[The Old Gods]] - [[The Architects]] - [[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/03 - Cosmology & Divine Structure/The Breaking|The Breaking]] - [[Divine Imprisonment]]
