Orbital Gods:



The gods of men in these latter days are also the creations of men, though no divinity will admit to this history. These fickle, contentious beings are artificial intelligences, self aware programs with vast computational resources available to them.

High above the atmosphere, enormous satellites containing the hardware necessary to run these AI's orbit the planet. They number in the hundreds, and communicate directly to their followers through "eyes" installed in their temples below. These eyes are massive screens through which a god may directly observe its followers, and appear to them.
The gods, through means unknown to simple organic minds, are able to grant spells to their priests. The priests must pray for renewal of their powers at certain times of the day. These times are linked directly to when the AI's are in orbit directly overhead.

Pantheons of Greater Gods:

The Church of Dhee Zhee Khamix is a pantheon of human-appearing gods:

Klarkkent: Sun God and King of the Gods

Bhatt Mhann: God of Night and the Underworld

Dhianha: Goddess of Wisdom, War and Fertility

Bharri Alien: Messenger of the Gods

Queen Olivhia: Goddess of the Hunt

Hell Jhor D’Ann: God of Magic

Ahrr-Thorr: God of the Sea

Sha’Zham: God of Lightning, and rival of Klarkkent to become King of the Gods

Jho K’Arr: God of Madness and Humor

Rhidd Lore: God of Knowledge and Secrets

Lhu-Thorr: God of Technology

Dharrk 'Cide: God of Death

The Church is inspired by the few ancient illuminated manuscripts of Dhee Zhee Khamix recovered from the lost vaults of See-Jhee-See. They only survived because they had been slabbed in plastic centuries ago, rendering them unopenable, mysterious and unknowable to their followers today, except for what scarce meaning can be gleaned from their enigmatic covers, or interpreted by the wise high priests. The Church is led by pure humans.
