The true potential might of a Demigod will not be fully made manifest unless that Demigod is in the Order of an Elder God and that God decides to form a bond with the Demigod, in which case the Demigod becomes Their Avatar (sometimes referred to as Their Herald), gaining more powers on behalf of the Divine Order of their Patron God. 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. The powers of Avatars are not fully known to mortals, however cults to venerate aspects of Elder Gods have begun to manifest in modern times, lead by Avatars who seek to personify Their being.

Venerate

Cost: 10,000,000 essence (Free if Ascendant)

Having fanned your divine spark beyond that of a mere mortal, and having formed a bond with an Elder God, such a union can be furthered upon.
