Aran'khutu

An Aran'khutu, or god, is a divine being associated with creation and early human development. The term is a compound word derived from the Tenkotesh words aran, or "divine," and khutu, used to refer to a person in a position of power. Each god has their own unique abilities from formation or birth that aid them in their divine purpose, whether that be to create, to assist humanity, or both.

Each god is born with the same drive: to create and maintain. Every god either creates something new in the world or helps maintain it with their abilities. Their main goal is to create something that thrives, as that is their only purpose for being brought into existence. Their divine power is limited and can only last for ten thousand years without being replenished. If there is no tangible return from their creation that proves it is thriving, such as offerings from the humans they watch over, their divine power does not replenish. If a god loses all their divine power, they go into hibernation, their body shrunken to mortal size as they slumber underneath their altars until another offering is made to them.

To be a god, a being must be born of two gods or created by at least one with no mortal interference; the new god is therefore immortal from birth with no external assistance. The immortality energy is present in all organic parts of the god’s body, and any mortal being who ingests any part of it shall become immortal as well. A god’s blood can be drawn and fermented into Aran'uvum, a divine wine that gods drink at their leisure but is offered as a sign of immense gratitude to mortals who deem themselves worthy of immortality.
