What is a Godshard?
Definition: a godshard is an individual who is a shard of a deity, spirit, or higher power.
Notes: it is a common experience that a godshard is broken off for a purpose, be it fulfilling some large cosmic purpose or something more small scale. this isn’t always the case, though.
keep in mind, godshards can exist alongside whoever they are a shard of, meaning that they can function normally with or without the shard as part of them.
it may be considered kin, but i consider it only kin adjacent, as it is rejected and/or unknown by most communities, even kin communities, on first glance.
Disclaimer: godshards are not godkin. godkins are wholly a deity, while godshards are only partially a deity.
i don’t hate people who are godkin, of course. this is just an important distinction to make.
