Faerie

Born of Phantasy, Faerie, or Gods are constructs of the Collective Unconscious of Mankind. A manifestation of collective belief.

History
During an era before scientific research mankind searched for answers to how the universe worked through mythology and Gods.

These beliefs enraptured so many, and were held by enough people, that a Magic was cast upon the World. Like unto an Emanation, birthing Gods. Religions not formed around Gods, but rather Gods formed around religion.

Though as Science became a place of further research, thus the World created such answers. The nessisty of, and thus faith in Gods began to fade away. Some completely vanished, while others remained a part of the World, though with a weakened Authority.

While some Gods remained behind upon Earth, most fled to outer planets far away from mankind. Watching over them, but never interacting. Thus quickening the Apostasy of Man.

Nature
Gods do not exist in the sense that many imagine. They are rather manifestations of belief, a Phantasy born of the Collective Unconciouss of those who worshiped them.

They are born of the Collective Belief and Unconscious, and Conscious, desires of Mankind. But Phantasy is not entirely benevolent. For to would the Fears of Man be made manifest.

They gained the power attributed to them, and became dominant over the World. Though forever subordinate to the Foundation. For they are but part of it.

Due to being shaped by belief, and being unable to resist the Law. They only have specific abilities, an Authority, of which the exell at on a Universal scale. Being dominant in their Authority, albeit by being limited to it.

They are maintained by Belief, thus when Man began to look into Science. As explanations as to why were born, and faith in them began to fade to secularism, they to began to fade. Their existence becoming dim, their Authority becoming weak.
