This is not a bond that an Elder God will lightly undertake, as the [[essence]] cost to that God is staggering and represents a deep link between the essence of God and Demigod. Avatars are expected to be walking representations of their Patron God and often act as Their voice. [[Cult]]s to venerate aspects of Elder Gods have begun to manifest in modern times, led by Avatars who seek to personify Their being. They may also learn to Resurrect members of their faith via access to the demigod power. | ||
