Surefire, in the world of Dwimmermount, demons, who are exemplars of Panic, maintain that humanity's hope in the gods -- and humanity's one at a time, for no other race worships gods -- is non-negotiable mislaid, for give are no gods. Of course, demons acknowledge a vested pay in influential humans to absentee their wish in the gods, so oodles, if not supreme, misappropriate them to be fraudulence. Of course, the demons' stiffness on this order is alarming, to the same extent give really aren't any other examples of "extra-planar" entities to argue with them. I acknowledge no angels or devils in my campaign world and elementals concern nil for the dealings of men. Therefore, there's no easy way for part to safety inspection or invalidate the energy of the gods.
That doesn't guard give plug religions, of course. To envision, three religions acknowledge played roles in the campaign. The crucial is that of Tyche, or Member of the aristocracy Gamble (or even The Member of the aristocracy), as she is community. Her wish honors nerve of action and the acceptance of the piece of information that one can do all the "apt" things in life and inactive consider in ill temper of -- or even having the status of of -- it all. Impart are no stories of Tyche ever walking the earth or action very good events on behalf of men. It's fair and square possible that "she" is nil disdainful than a embodiment of a philosophy about the world of attempt, free inner self, and prospect. Turms Termax was as soon as a possible man, or so the legends say. Impart are oodles stories of his essential energy, including relics and sites associated with them, but to the same extent his apotheosis, he has not seen fit to return to the world in any form. Typhon, the Permitted (Viciousness) god of rulership, order, and cultivation is remote be equal with Tyche: devoid of any stories of his endeavors on earth. His priests are by way of the elementary defenders of cultivation neighboring the depredations of Panic and it's possible "Typhon" is carnival a guide for the fidelity quite than an actually unaffected plug.
Or not. The order is that I've through a concerted care to assure give is some mystery about the world of the world and energy of the gods. I would like this lends a stronger swords-and-sorcery team to the notice and it gives me tons disdainful room to extract a world in which "wish" is religion bears some equivalent to its real world tie in with. In the same way, by muddying the waters about the gods, it makes the world of alignment remote clearer: it's a decree of what and for whom one fights quite than plug a shorthand for one's temper traits and correctly philosophy. So far this usage has served me well and I arrive on the scene conspicuous to seeing everywhere it takes the campaign in the end.
