Okay. How many gods are here? I've met two and there are three demigods myself included.

and demons while were at it. my father works with demons all the time and my children are demons so no judgement there.

Im just trying to figure out how this place works.

What concentration of divinity in one's heritage is necessary for one to be considered a god?

[ In English: if you're 1/1,000th divine because your ancient ancestor was a goddess, do you count as being a god? ]

[refantasma]

my fathers a god and im not because of my mortal mother so I guess it depends on your world?

[multidisciplinary]

[ Oh, that's a good answer, actually. ]

I see. Then do not count me among the divine residing here. My family are descended from a Goddess who took on mortal form and Her powers are passed down matrilineally, but we are not considered gods ourselves.

that seems to be the consinsus. well there was two set of twins where one was immortal but his brother wasnt. because of... weird things.

did she retake godhood eventually?

[multidisciplinary]

That I do not know. She was the founder of our kingdom, and yet we know almost nothing about her.

[ Hyrule's recordkeeping leaves a lot to be desired.

But also, ] How is it possible for one twin to be born mortal and the other immortal? That seems gestationally impossible.

umm...

because they were actually half brothers. because their mother was, um, sleeping with both her husband and Zeus the King of the gods when he took the form of her husband.

well, that's one. the other he took the form of a swan and she ended up with quadruplets. two boys and two girls. two of each were considered demigods the other two were mortal.

the boy set became a constellation.
