This universe was created by seven gods. This world and its inhabitants are also ruled by the Seven Gods. Standing atop a volcano inside their fortress, they lead humanity, protect, and tend to them as they are revered, all while keeping peace in the city of Ome'Alf. They don't always treat people with respect by using their immense influence. Rather, every God appoints a champion to accomplish their goal. All but the Goddess of Death, who is a little bit outcast. Until her fellow gods eventually persuade her, anyway.
