Minor Gods/Spirits

Major gods belong to the 1st Echelon, they normally embody ideas not concrete things.

Minor gods embody a concrete object. this could be a rock, a race, or a city.

They will act in creation to their own whims but if their domain is threatened or praised enough they will send dignitaries on their behalf. If the threats or praises continue they will send more powerful emissaries or show up personally. Those who meet the more powerful spirits would do well to be prepared to fight or treat them with the utmost respect.
