skygod

Skygod is a term used in various fictional contexts, often referring to a deity or powerful being associated with the sky. The specific attributes and roles of a skygod vary greatly depending on the fictional universe in which they appear. These beings can be benevolent creators, destructive forces, or impartial observers of mortal affairs. They often wield control over weather phenomena such as storms, lightning, and wind, and their presence may be signified by celestial events.

In some narratives, a skygod is the supreme deity, ruling over all other gods and the cosmos. In others, they are part of a pantheon, holding dominion over a specific domain. Their interactions with mortals can range from divine intervention and guidance to indifference or outright hostility. The concept of a skygod taps into ancient human reverence for the sky and its perceived power, translating these ideas into a character with divine capabilities within a fictional framework. Depictions can be found in literature, video games, and other forms of speculative fiction.
