A gloranthan worshipped for their epic deeds.
- They differ from Deities for once having been mortal
- The term is also widely used in literature to refer to an extremely powerful person or entity.
- Examples of such entities would be the heroes in White Bear and Red Moon
- Although most people can sort out which sense of hero is being used in any given context, the wiki imposes a much stricter definition which can cause confusion.
- For example, Hrestol was a hero of Seshneg in the Dawn Age. However he is also a hero worshipped much more widely in later ages.
- To increase clarity, this wiki uses Demigod to describe an extremely powerful person or entity.
- The usage of demigod is rarer in gloranthan literature but does occur.
