Traits are blessing from one of the gods given to a person at the time of their birth.
There are 2 types of traits:
1. Active Triats: Active abilities usable from the get-go. The owner of such a trait does not need to think/chant/activate the ability of the trait.
2. Innare Traits: Such a trait manifests later in life and is usually of a more passive role. It would require the owner of such a trait to concentrate/chant/activate it before they can use its ability. Or the trait could be restricted to be used in a specific situation or at a specific time
Talents are acquired throughout one's life. They are similar, albeit weaker than traits.
There are 2 types of talents:
1. Active Talents: Active abilities usable after their owner learns to control them. The owner of such a trait does not need to think/chant/activate after they have learned to control the ability of the talent.
2. Latent Talents: Such talents need to be awakened either through a ritual/event (usually traumatic or mentally and physically challenging). The abilities granted by a trait are always active and once a latent talent is awakened it becomes an Active Talents.
It is normal for people not to know if they have Latent Talent since learning of such requires someone with the Star Gazer trait to read it for them in the divine cards (a form of fortune-telling).

What follows is a list of the First Monsters, created at the dawn of time by the combined power of the Gods. Their power is equal or greater than that of the Demon King and Heroes but lesser than that of the Gods. However, because of how old and powerful they are, they rarely take any action at all and avoid conflict with what they see as mortal creatures, preferring to be passive observers of the world. Some roam the world, trying to experience all there is, while others serve as Guardians/Caretakers of the Holy Sites of a God or Gods they've chosen to serve.
