On Zarathan, there are hundreds if not thousands of gods, representing the gamut of power and of attitudes and tendencies. There are multiple gods of fire, or Justice, etc., and many different pantheons, individual gods, etc. Some become more powerful, new ones are born, old fade away. There are certain ones that are effectively eternal, but the numbers are huge. Both of the major Fantasy trilogies I have in mind (the Balanced Sword, of which I've completed part of already under the title Fall of Saints, and the Spirit Warriors trilogy) explore the nature and behavior of the gods and their relationship to the living world.
