Accord

the type of energy that defines a god as such

though accord is derived from a common source (VAST\/TOWERING), it takes on various, often unique, properties for each god it manifests in. while this energy is usually inert and nonreactive, and somewhat akin to blood in a biological organism, there are also cases where its properties may relate to a god's abilities; or it may even be used outwardly for offense purposes, as with wilddog's catalyst energy

as the properties of a given type of accord vary, so too does its effects and interactions with other beings. exposure to ambient accord is generally not a concern unless a deity has been wounded, and even in significant amounts it rarely causes anything worse than temporary radiation sickness. however, there are also some deities whose accord is inherently far more reactive with other kinds of energy, or potentially lethal to other beings who come into direct contact with it.
