While deities do exist for the Sewoch, they are not at all similar to Otani deities. In Otan deities live on another plane of existence, creating, destroying and interceding in the lives of mortals on their own whims. In Sewoch, the deities are ever present and always ready to converse with the faithful.
Sewochi deities are never intercessors. They do engage in whimsical activity, much as do the deities of Otan, however, they never interfere in the affairs of mortals. They set examples, and give detailed instructions to mortals on how to achieve a state of Temokiro. They are said to be an a continuous state of Temokiro themselves, even when engaged in whimsical affairs.
The other major difference with Sewochi deities is that they are shared across the two leading Sewochi religions. Practitioners of both Medigemi and Kilesa may call on the same deity for different reasons, but both acknowledge the same group of deities.
