The Adventure Zone Providence: Episode 1

The god of fire calls a meeting of the divine pantheon, but the problem isn't a monster or a rival god—it's paperwork. Someone in the mortal plane is assembling a dark ritual that would sever the connection between the gods of the Providence plane and the objects of the mortal plane, which would be disastrous for both. The gods can't investigate themselves because their connected objects are too important to leave unfiltered for multiple days. So they assemble three of the most non-essential gods for the mission: Spira, god of bellows; Tentavula, god of bells; and Minusha, god of the marine chronometer.

The Gods and Their Domain

The world of Providence operates on a simple metaphysical mechanism. Two planes overlap each other but exist on separate celestial wavelengths. Inanimate objects on the mortal plane lack free will but are charged with erratic random potential energy they cannot disperse. The beings of the Providence plane need this energy to survive—every inhabitant is synced with one or more types of object, drawing on its energy and filtering it back as pure potential. For every type of thing on the mortal plane, there is a god in the Providence plane connected to it.
