[LFP][PBP] New Gods Of Mankind

I'm currently looking for players for a play by post game. In it you take on the role of a newly "born" god in a fantasy world inhabitted by dragons, dwarves, elves and humans. You must watch over your tribe and lead it to prosperity, so that their prayers can feed you and give you moer power with which you can protect them against rival gods, other tribes and the mighty leviathans (fallen gods).
One additional thing there as I got asked: Detailed wisdom about the world is not needed, as you yourself only got a small glimpse there (your tribe and that there are other gods). A bit more on the background itself: The world itself is of late bronze / early iron age technologically. And has a typical fantasy setting. Elfes, dwarves, dragons, ...  exist. Humans are often enslaved by other species and only a few tribes manage to stay free. Gods vie for control and worship (which empowers them). and often wars are waged among the mortal tribes of the gods or even the gods themselves. What is more is that aside from the gods also fallen gods called Leviathans exist. These Leviathans don't feed upon worship but instead upon terror and bring only destruction upon the world. Thus you yourself get your energy through the prayers of your followers while leviathans get it from the fear they create in others. Tribes and even countries often fight among others and themselves for supremacy and for their gods and the powers of theirs. Thus it can be that a pantheon (a group of gods) hunts down tribes belonging to gods without strong allies in order to destroy those gods (gods can only truly be destroyed if their tribe is destroyed) or to absorb the powers of those gods or convert their tribes.
