For obvious reasons, many equate gods to the divine class. That…is mostly never true. Most Minor Gods possessed king-class destinies and king to saint-class characteristics. The Great had a variety of divine traits, but rarely the complete package.
Gods with the full package of divine genes, flames, talents, destinies and so on were either freaks of nature connected to the Fundamental Principles. High Gods or Sage Kings that relied on their Divine Secrets to upgrade themselves.
The Veridi belonged to the former group, a tribe so ancient that they predated the Wrathful Gods. Manifesting once a million years as angels, birds, dragons, and other winged creatures, with signature armaments that multiplied the prowess of their innate skills.
