Why would an all-powerful, omnipresent, omniscient god want lesser beings to worship and give offerings to him? [Spirituality & Religion]

That sounds like something a narcissistic sociopath would do.

The Divine Twenty-Four are not like this, since their only task is to keep all of existence in balance. They want everyone to live lives as they wish to.

It is true that there are people who revere them, who pay their respects to them, but this a [i][b]voluntary act[/b][/i].

May the Divines guide everyone...

@Amyrakunejo skyrim?
@SW-User In Skyrim, there are nine Divines, or eight if you're a foolhardy follower of the White-Gold Concordat.

Anyway, 'divine' is the closest English word for "Saeryan'fanera", which is Parolian (my native tongue) and is used to describe the exact role of these twenty-four non-mortals, to keep all of existence in balance, but 'Balancing Twenty-Four' sounds more like the name of a circus act.
