[[NON-STANDARD PATHWAYS]]
The Non-Standard Pathways refer to the Pathways under the Outer Deities that appeared on Earth due to "Their" increasingly deepened influence across the Astral Barrier over time. These Pathways appeared most predominantly after the 1350 World War of the Fifth Epoch, though traces of them can be found even in earlier epochs of history.
On Earth, Beyonders of the Non-Standard Pathways do not advance via Potions, but by praying to the corresponding Outer Deity for a Boon. As a result, these Beyonders do not actually have Beyonder Characteristics of the corresponding Non-Standard Pathway.
Note that this is not the case for Beyonders in the Cosmos, where one could still advance normally via Beyonder Characteristics. However, because the Above the Sequence position has already been occupied by the corresponding Outer Deity, Beyonders of these Pathways cannot advance above Sequence 1 using Beyonder Characteristic.
In the year 1358 of the Fifth Epoch, among the Outer Deities, only three can bestow godhood without much difficulty: the Mother Goddess of Depravity, the Mother Tree of Desire, and the Uncertain Mist. As for the other beings, if they wish to grant godhood, they have to perform a very complex ritual that would easily be discovered and destroyed.[15]
The Pathways granted by the Outer Deities aren't necessarily just a single Pathway, but rather a combination of several Pathways owned by the corresponding Outer Deity. As "They" grant power, "They" might draw from different Pathways' different sequences, mixing them.[16]
