* OurMagesAreDifferent: In 2E, Sorcerers are people who have learned to channel power outside Gods or Titans, [[EmpoweredBadassNormal while not having any inherent link to it]]. Gods tend to look down on them, as one of the most common ways is to ''steal'' it through Invocation (pretending to authority of the gods when they don't have it - that would be Patronage), but only a fool disrespects the [[TheDeterminator determination]] and [[GuileHero cleverness]] required to be one.

* FantasyPantheon: The original's Demigod book had the gods of Atlantis as an example of using a pantheon not drawn from existing mythology. They were brought back in 2E's Companion in a section that gives tips on using the system to create your own gods and setting.

** 2E downplays this; it's outright stated that the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God may be a Mantle - and given how Mantles work, vice versa - of 'Ila, the king of the Ilhm, the Phoenician Pantheon, [[ShrugOfGod but that is up to the Storyteller]].

* UnmasquedWorld: While the first edition had the supernatural hidden from the everyday world, this has been relaxed in second edition. Now, the presence of gods is as best an open secret and at worst just common knowledge, with minor divine and mythic encounters ubiquitous and large scale ones just as notable as any large scale event.

The French, Russian and British ones work together out of the need to fight the Germans whereas the American ones are a different Pantheon.
