| This category enumerates Strange Gods known as Bleak Gods, associated with the [[Bleak Courts]] of Arcadia.
| |
| | |
| =Overview=
| |
| | |
| Bleak Gods (([[Commontongue]]) are named for their association with the Bleak Courts, known for a generally negative and unpleasant disposition, making them particularly unsafe to associate with. Though bound to certain self-imposed rules, they are unpredictable and can be quite dangerous. Lore about Bleak Gods is more common than other Strange Gods, as Bleak Courts take an interest in [[Mortals]].

| | |
| =History=
| |
| | |
| Bleak Gods came into existence not long after Acradia was settled in the early [[Dark Age]], after Elves naturalized into Arcadians and eight of them ascended to become Strange Gods. They have been meddling in the affairs of Mortals ever since. | |
| | |
| =Cosmology=
| |
| | |
| Bleak Gods are cosmologically very similar to other Strange Gods, gaining access to incredible power through some Strange insight or enlightenment. Their powers and abilities follow a sort of dream logic with respect to their origins and areas of interest.
| |
| | |
| One thing that differentiates Bleak Gods from other Strange Gods is their obsession with the costs of experience in various forms. As [[Eldritch Gods]] are obsessed with perception and cognition, and [[Lost Gods]] are obsessed with purpose, Bleak Gods are obsessed with costs, seeking to understand the burdens, scars, and losses associated with existing.
| |
| | |
| =Society=
| |
| | |
| Bleak Gods are tightly integrated with Arcadian society, making up the ruling class of of half of Arcadia.
