Hey everybody,

This may seem like a real newbie question but I don't own all of the BR books and might be missing the answer for that reason. Are there any rules to account for bloodline progression beyond the "great" category? Clearly if you keep absorbing bloodlines you begin to warp into an Ersheg or an Awnsheg, but how do you quantify this with the rules? I don't have Blood Enemies yet: are the rules in that book or elswhere? Likewise, the BR mythos seems to suggest the continued absorbtion of blood would lead to godhood. Is this the case, or was the reconstitution of the Cerilian pantheon at Deismaar an act of will on the part of the dying gods (i.e. they chose their sucessors, much as a regent designates an heir)?

I'd been wondering about these issues for a while but was reminded of them by some comments in Gav's post on deities and planar phenomenon. Many of you have given the cosmology and cosmogony of BR a great deal of thought so I welcome ANY opinions on the matter.
