Properties[]

As an archetype, Patron deities are "deities/gods/goddesses/spirits" who personally protect, assist and/or look after those people who believe, have faith, pray to, and worship the deity in question. Patron gods influence also extends to the cities, villages and overall areas of those who are devoted to them. This is an archetype that all divine beings can be, if they chose who to reward those in need and their devotees with blessings, favors and gifts, like granting people supernatural items or divine powers, or even granting them aid from other supernatural entities. Sometimes, the gods may ask for more then their followers can give, and if their demands/wants aren't met they may take their blessings and aid back until they are done.

Unlike patron saints, patron gods are the original divine beings who are still identified as "gods", and seen as gods by their people who worship them, whereas patron saints were either humans who have ascended into a deity-like condition, or are deities who have been demoted by their followers from gods into what are known as "saints" through abandonment of their followers or forced religious conversions by outside sources because the gods were too hard to get ride of, so they were downgraded to "saints" because they refuse to recognize them as gods anymore.
