Deities are the powerful beings who embody a certain factor of life, they are revered and worshiped by various religions across the world.

- Intermediate Deity is the second highest tier of a deities prominence, within the divine hierarchies.
- Lesser Deity are third tier within the divine hierachy, these deities, while strong, retain the least prominence of the divine hierarchy, save for demigods.
