* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Zevan, God of Man, was the millionth person born in the city of Ani and was a god due to the amassed belief of humans in their own race. Technically, the human godlings also count as this.

* OurMagesAreDifferent: There don't seem to be any mages or magic-users in the Godsfall universe, save the Emperor. However, since the setting is based in a Dungeons and Dragons universe, the out-of-character speech refers to the characters with things like classes in the game, that don't have any impact on the world they are in. On a game level, Pera is a Cleric, Haldir is a Warlock, Torrvic is a Paladin, Dorro is a Rogue, and so on... but listening to the podcast, that isn't evident.
