Can the gods reproduce?

[nouser]

May the gods of eora breed with themselves or mortals?  generating other gods or demigods?

[Essyllt]

I... do not recall any mention of it, though my immediate assumption would be "no". Not in the sense one thinks of, at least. I do not even believe they have a "physical" hand in the creation of godlike, as it is. I could be wrong, though - I've yet to play a godlike, so most of their lore is still a mystery to me beyond what I read on the character creation screen.

They don't have physical forms, though they could probably make another one if they wanted to. Could their bodies have reproduced? ...what a frightening question!

[Boeroer]

Since they are constructs made of essence I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to split some essence and give it a new conscience. But do they want to...?

[uuuhhii]

they can easily make a soul godlike or create a new god with a few hundreds thousands of souls

and body of wael split off many little monsters

[omgFIREBALLS]

They certainly can go **** themselves, so there's hope.

[Katarack21]

They have the knowledge and power to *forge* another god, I believe. And I feel like the Godlike are the product of their manipulation of souls in that manner. But reproduction in the way it's thought of by mortals? I doubt it.

[Boeroer]

Why not? God X gives a bit essence here, God Y a little bit there - and *boom*.

[Wormerine]

To some extend we can see it happen with God's "aspects" - though it those cases a remarkable souls (inhabited by mortals) get further empowered - I am thinking here mostly about the Faces of the Hunt, though they didn't no really get born as a result of God's actions, but in some way were reborn as an apect of them. 

 

In Eora all beings come to life thanks to souls - creating a new good would be a case of finding souls to fuel him or her. It is possible that even more souls could be redirected to power up another God (at least before the end of Deadfire) or that Gods could sacrifice a bit of their portion to fuel another godly being to life. However, considering how much they like hoarding the souls, I find it unlikely they would do something like that if it wouldn't directly benefit them.

If they did we'd have an Idiocracy
