[@Polybius]

The Gods should probably be a variation of distance and interaction. For example, the "main" entity of God level power is likely passive for the most part, but the God of Fire, if there is to be one, can be constantly fighting to burn everything in its honour.

I imagine that the world is in a similar stage to our medieval reality, in that societies history only goes back a few thousand years, and races have developed and become extinct ages before any of the current life forms were emerging. Basically, fantasy Iron Age? I'm not sure of historical eras and so forth.

We can make a basic map of that is suiting to everyone.

You are not thinking too much into it. :sun
