Inclusion

The members of Inclusion Tier are sometimes called Hero Deities or demigods.

This tier is mostly a teaser of the greater things to come in the Pantheon.

It means you have incredible renown in your home plane on your home campaign-world Facet, and that you wish to become great within the multiverse.

Get to talk to other Hero Deities from other Facets.

To qualify for this tier, you should be a notable feature in the history of a campaign world, preferably one registered as a Facet on the Diamond of Existence. You need only find a DP god who is willing to sponsor you. Most Hero Deities are extremely high level or powerful characters, but not usually true gods themselves by a classical definition. Sometimes a small-time deity simply seeks recognition on the Diamond Pantheon.

Hero Deities are not permitted to be the Chief Ruler of a campaign world except in extenuating circumstances when a stronger native god is lacking. If they are the first in the Diamond Pantheon from their campaign world, they may register it but not rule it without an exception granted by the Diamond Master.

The classic Hero Deity has one divine and one mortal parent, and makes a name for himself defeating chthonic powerful monsters. They are still capable of being defeated by ordinary mortals, though they may be capable of fending off an entire army by themselves. The weakest example of a Hero Deity is Arachne, who defeated Athena in a weaving contest and was turned into a spider for it. The strongest example is Hercules, who was eventually accepted as a member of the core Olympian pantheon. Exalted characters are an excellent example of Hero Deities from an RPG.

Ask the question "Has almost everyone heard of me? Would they expect me to triumph in an impossible situation?" You might be a hero deity if the answer is yes.

Hero deities may hang out in the Hamlet of Heroes.

The rank of Hero Deity is important because it allows a character the chance to victory over a god.
