You were once among the gods. You were a divine being, and you were all powerful except against other gods. This changed when they kicked you out the divine realm. It all happened so fast that you didn't catch the reason, but you can probably guess the reason. Perhaps you lacked followers or worshipers. Maybe you took advantage of your power and made some bad decisions. Either way, you are now a mortal who has limited power.

Skill Proficiencies: Religion: You are proficient in religion. You know all about it. After all, you did spend most of your life with the beings that religion is centered around. This doesn't mean you are religious. You know that there are divine beings, but you don't worship them because you hate them.

Languages: You speak common and two additional languages.
