Divine Traffic
In a world where gods are licensed, miracles regulated, and belief traded like currency, one god appears who should not exist.
The Divine Licensing Authority governs all faith with iron bureaucracy. Gods are indexed by algorithm. Worship is audited. Divine Active Zones (DAZs) serve as the last strongholds of legal spirituality in a post-belief world. But when an eclipse passes silently over Umbral Wharf, something impossible happens.
Vellum steps into existence—a god with no myth, no worshippers, no origin. They are made of absence, embodying the roads not taken, the selves never lived, and the silences history forgot. Their mere presence warps the fabric of belief, fracturing mortals and destabilizing the divine order.
As ancient pantheons stir, corporate godstacks falter, and outlaw prophets rally, Vellum becomes the center of a growing mythic disturbance. Hunted by Heralds, watched by renegade saints, and followed by a girl who speaks dreams she hasn’t had, Vellum is neither savior nor destroyer.
They are the question the world refuses to ask:
What is a god, if no one believes in them?
