	'''Spheres of emanation''' were the range at which it was possible to channel power from a deity. In the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] history, the concept of "local gods" was more prevalent, who had much more limited scope. Their power would be tied to a physical location or "holy site", and they would become weaker as they moved further away. In principle this was true of all "gods", even the Lords of [[Orhan]], who would not be able to survive outside of the solar system. However, when such a local god was at the focus of their power, they would become very formidable. It would be very embarrassing to lose such a fight, so the Orhanians usually allowed local deities to rule their own domains with autonomy. In the [[Shadow World]] history, this was a major factor in their distant relationship with the world, because coming down and directly interfering would upset ancient balances of power. The [[Charon]] gods were [[Wars of Dominion\|unable]] to do so because the Orhan pantheon was more powerful.
