adapt it to a world built from scratch for fantasy adventures.
The central conflict in Theros is between gods, fighting each other for the devotion of mortals.
Mortal devotion is equivalent to divine power: when people fervently pray to a
God, when they piously observe the rites and sacrifices of the god, and when they trust
devotedly in the divine power of God, God becomes more powerful.
