Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !
I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday. They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from @worldbuilding they're just an extra opportunity if you have a writing itch you want to scratch. 😀

The prompt this week is - Deification
Some gods are parts of creation myths, but others are men or women who have become gods, a process known as deification. Pharaohs were living gods, and Caesars often became gods. The Emperor Vespasian famously said on his deathbed "Dear me, I think I'm becoming a god".
Tell me a story about deification from your setting ! Who gets to be deified and how ? Does the person really become a god, and do the people really believe it, or is it all a convenient fiction ?
Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments to this post, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.
This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.
Guidelines
I stole these guidelines straight from @worldbuilding prompts (I hope that's okay !), I couldn't have written them any better myself....
