There are no deities in the world of Ilysador. During the Great War countless followers and legions of faithful perished. Entire priesthoods were wiped out. And as deity fought deity one by one they fell to each other. Their dogma disappearing into obscurity. However all the magical energy ( Divine & Arcane) that was released seems to have awakened or super charged this world. The very land itself, the trees, the water the air all pulsate with this energy. This flow of magical energy now permeates the world and its people and is what allows for divine and arcane magic. 

Each race interprets this magical energy in their own way. These interpretations are known as archetypes. 

Archetypes are like philosophies or beliefs. These archetypal divine sources are for more theoretical in nature. They are a force, a concept a belief. They take form by their shear manifestation in the world, they show proof and reward those that have faith and belief in them. 

Some practitioners draw divine energy from the strength of their own faith, some call to the spirits of their ancestors, some turn to the forces of nature for divine inspiration , and some claim a divine legacy that runs within their blood. Whatever the source, all divine spell casters share much in common. They have the ability to ease their allies' wounds and crush their enemies. 

With divine magic it is the believers' absolute faith in this archetype that is enough to tap into a divine spark within themselves. And they draw spells and powers from their own devotion. 

Each Archetype energy has a common term that divine casters call it by. Each archetype can represent several domains. These domains work the same as in the PFHB.
