Dominant Presentation

A principal’s Dominant Presentation/ is typically represented by a primary/dominant sect/order. It is what is generally perceived as by the population at large, and the first thing they think of when they think of the principal and/or institution which represents it. A principal may belong to multiple faiths/belief systems and even a multitude of pantheons, but the prevailing attitudes toward that principal and their followers is focused on their dominant presentation. Even those of unified pantheons may have their symbolism and aspects synthesized with something else or even another entity.

Synthesis: Followers/members of orders and sects may push a syncretic view of a principal. Very few are isolated. Many times synthesis can represent a follower’s belief that a multitude of lesser form beings are merely aspects of one greater higher order principle.
