Goblinoid Deities

The goblinoid deities are demigods that rule over the goblinoid host. The individuals are vessels for the deity. When the current demigod dies, a new vessel is chosen to take their place.

If all four die before a new individual is selected, then they all remain extinct.

Appointment
When the previous demigod dies, either violently or naturally, a new one must be chosen. They are chosen by the remaining demigods that remain alive. The individual chosen to rise to godhood is given a quest. Failure of the quest usually results in death. Success results in a ritual in which the individual accepts the symbol of their divinity, thereby imparting the power of the god.

The artifacts of each deity must be obtained at ALL COST. All creatures of the goblinoid type are drawn to the unclaimed artifacts until claimed.

Memory
Each can enter a trance and call upon the knowledge of forbears accumulated over time.
