The fact that worship directly affects a god's power is likely one of the reasons Rushu wanted to be alone at the top of the hierarchy and murdered his brethren.Ĭonversion, reincarnation and appearance In summary, this excerpt explains that a lack of disciples can decrease a god's power to the point of becoming a minor god, or even disappearing completely if entirely forgotten – as happened to Mongrelamus. Privé de leur foi, et bientôt rayé de leur mémoire, un grand dieu deviendra un petit dieu, et disparaîtra peut-être même totalement ! (.) Disparaître totalement, c'est ce qui arriva à Medoroziam, un dieu à tête de chien dont le souvenir persiste dans quelques vieux grimoires.

According to Dofus Mag 1, this was the downfall of Mongrelamus ( Medoroziam in the following excerpt), one of the first ten Demons in the universe. That is why it is important for them to protect their followers from major threats such as Demons or cataclysms like Ogrest's Chaos. In practice, when people (in fiction or in real life) talk about 'gods,' Rushu or his former equals are seldom included as they belong to a distinct category and are not worshipped by Humans.Īs already mentioned, gods do not only grant powers to their disciples: they gain power from worship, and therefore grow more powerful as their cult grows.

That is why his power rivals that of the other gods. There is no demonic pantheon, however, because Rushu exterminated his nine brothers and sisters during the first millenia of their existence and named himself the one and only king of Demons (see Rushu-History). Most, however, are never noticed, like 'the god who puts Moskitos to sleep on Summer nights' (mentioned in Gods & Demons).Īlthough Rushu, king of Demons, is rarely if ever referred to as a god, he is indeed one of the ten firstborn Demons of the Krosmoz. This is how the goddesses Sacrier and Pandawa became known to the world and eventually reached the pantheon. By means of intuitions, signs and voices, they must reach out to the inhabitants of the world and make their presence known. The Dofus in-game document Gods & Demons gives more details on their nature, but the way they work is simple: to gain in power, they must be worshipped, just like any other god. In addition to the original gods, the universe is populated by countless spirits, small gods without followers, each dedicated to a different aspect of life. The gods gather around the new planet and Osamodas's dragons Minor and major gods
