Myths of the Realm Rewritten

[Absimiliard]

Yes, I would say so. It is consistent with the dictionary description as well, a being or object that is worshipped as having more than natural attributes and powers. Just because we are ignorant of it, or deny it as being a god because we ourselves don't worship it, or its even presented to us as a non-god, does not mean this entity is not being worshipped and is a god to a subset of people.

Since it matches the definition, it is a god, whether you reject it or not.

Am I to infer then that if an author tells the readers a character being worshipped as a god (or possessing multiple qualities of gods) isn't actually a god, it should be considered one anyway in spite of the author's intent? Because creatures that possess all the qualities of gods but are expressly stated not to be gods are quite common in fiction, as are entities worshipped as gods despite possessing none of the qualities aside from said worship.

In fact, why don't we use Zodiark and Hydaelyn as our examples? Both were originally believed as gods. Both were later revealed to not be gods, yet they clearly possess attributes in line with gods as defined by the dictionary. Are they still gods, when the game tells us outright they aren't?

Not trying to poke fun. I am genuinely curious as to where you draw the line between dictionary definition and writer intent.
