Cosmology: This is where I explain the structure of the Arrean multiverse. It is very similar to the core multiverse described in the Manual of the Planes by Wizards of the Coast, and to fully understand it you will need the Manual of the Planes.

Nature of Divinity: This is where I will explain the rules for divine power in the cosmology of the world.

Nature of Divinity
Divine Power:
There
is an infinite amount of divine power in the Arrean pantheon.
Paths to
Divinity: It is possible for a mortal to ascend to godhood. There are
multiple ways to ascend, and all of them are extremely difficult. The following
are the most common.
One path to godhood is to travel to a god’s home and defeat him in
combat. When the god is destroyed his divine spark travels to the one that
defeated him.
The second path is to earn divinity through extraordinary feats on heroism (or evil). A worthy hero can have divinity imparted them by their patron deity. It seldom happens, because in order to impart divinity upon a mortal the god must invest a portion of their godly power.
