Use of the Word "God"

Use of the Word "God"

Since all of the gods in the game excluding the Higher Tier Gods are not really gods, should we use the word Deity to refer to the other "Gods"? This will prevent confusion.

Although the actual term is Deity, Lower-Tier Gods are promptly referred as Gods or Goddesses in-game.
 

 

—Trivia

The term was never really used in-game if I remember correctly. We go by what Nexon states, not by the actual term itself.

By the way, what do you mean they "are not really gods"?

Infodude57510:49, 4 March 2012
 

Well, they're (most of them) falsely claiming to be gods when they are really mortals.

Pyro - (Talk)11:16, 4 March 2012
 

Like who?

Infodude57511:35, 4 March 2012
 

Morrighan and Cichol for one.

Pyro - (Talk)11:43, 4 March 2012
 

G15 never really clarified if they were originally mortal, though. It just portrays them, but never states if they were or not.

Still, they have done feats that make them feared. For example, Cichol killed Mores, the greatest druid in all of Erinn.

That has absolutely nothing to do with what I was talking about... I mean, the lower-tier gods are mortals. Them originally being Human is irrelevant.

Pyro - (Talk)13:00, 4 March 2012
 

I'm confused... humans are considered mortals, are they not?

Where does it say they were "at first mortal"?

Infodude57513:08, 4 March 2012
 

Yes, humans are one of the mortals. And you're misunderstanding. The deities weren't "at first mortal", they are still mortal.

Pyro - (Talk)13:11, 4 March 2012
 

Again, where does it say they were mortal?

Macha's book says the Goddess herself converted to mortal.

Infodude57518:23, 5 March 2012
 

I think what Pyrus' referring to is that the gods can die. Either that, or he's referring to the listed "gods" like Lugh or Corple, who are still mortals.

Akira20:17, 5 March 2012

Why are you so addicted to Corple now? o-o

Infodude57521:55, 5 March 2012
 

I'm not addicted to him. I was just never sure if he belonged here in the first place, and if he did, where he should belong to. After all, Corple is a human who's called a "God" because of sheer ability, just like Lugh, though unlike Lugh, Corple is much less known.

Akira22:11, 5 March 2012
 

I'm not sure where I heard that the gods weren't truly gods. I recall something about Falias's destruction and Aton Cimeni. Might've been from G12 or the Falias Gatekeeper.

Pyro - (Talk)00:22, 6 March 2012
 

I don't think just because morighan and cichol were portrayed as young and "appear" fragile prove them mortal

I never said that was why though...
