Where I come from, the gods are still very much involved with the world.

[who knows if corona's gods play an active role in things, but--]

...well, no. That's not exactly right. They oversee the things they're the gods of, and they interact with mortals - that's how people like me come to be. [with the number of demigods in the world, the gods sure are getting a lot of tail.....] But for major things, they need heroes - demigods - to do their bidding. We live our lives with a foot in both worlds, so it's up to us to protect them both.
