@TheEdVerse all the recent discussions of Chosen and other gods’ chosens makes me wonder something tangential:
Godly tampering.
For blessing or curse, gift or custom generated Champion … I imagine it’s quite rare but do the gods have the power to make a birth happen? /1— 🌈Jaye🦄Em🌹Edgecliff🏳️🌈 (@jayeedgecliff) March 12, 2020
1)
The answer is yes, gods can bring about unlikely or otherwise impossible births. Usually to ‘mold’ Chosen or prepare backup future host bodies. However, it’s VERY rarely done because it costs (permanently lost) a small amount of divine power, and because unless 2)
…the deity wants to just waste that power, the rearing of a "godborn" takes a lot of time, attention, and effort. And any godborn is a juicy target for rival deities. So it's done only as part of "long game" elaborate strategies, not out of Zeus-like lust.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 12, 2020
