Purviews and Boons

Through conquest, the Gods seized authority over the World. They call, and its elements must answer. They move, and its mysteries move with them. Yama’s judgements fall with the surety and weight of death. Mixcoatl hunts as fiercely and hungrily as fire. Oya casts aside the status quo like an oncoming storm. Mercury travels at the speed of wit. When humanity refers to a deity as a “God of” something, that something is usually a Purview — an elemental force over which they have authority, such as Fertility, War, Passion, or the Stars. These are the Purviews of the divine realm, and Scions inherit them by right of birth. A Scion gains power merely by claiming mastery over a Purview, awakening an innate divine power and the ability to command their domain through freeform marvels. With dedication, they may master Boons that confer specific powers drawn from their Purview.

Guides, Relics and Purviews
All Scions gain intrinsic access to one of their divine parent’s Purviews, chosen at character creation, as well as the Signature Purview of their pantheon. In order to gain access to other Purviews, they must either channel it through a suitable Relic or the blessings of a Guide. If you lose access to the Relic or falls out of favor with a Guide, you cannot use any powers of the Purview they provide, including their innate powers.
