About Jergal and his 3 buddies.

[Grumpy]

For the lore connoisseurs.

I know the big 3 made a pact with Jergal but do we know the content of it?

What does Jergal gain from giving the big 3 their divine status ?

[victorvnv]

Probably souls. They kill stuff and he gets the souls

[Razorblade]

Pretty sure he was just bored of being an immortal god.

Wait so any god can make you one too ? Just like that ?

[Narky]

Quite literally he was bored, he wanted to retire (which he got) and move into a godtryside lakehouse. That's the lowdown of it. But he can't help himself when agents of Chaos threaten the balance of the mortal plane, so he steps in. He hates chaos.

Unfortunately the Dead Three were not the Gods he'd hoped.

With the rules AO set yes they can, so long has the god steps down from the roles he gave. up

Alright retirement plan gone wrong it seems.

But what is the higher power he spoke about? "so he has spoken"

Jergal relinquished his throne because he was bored of it.

That's seriously the reason. He was so powerful as a god, that he lost interest in the position. So when the three showed up and demanded he give up his power, he just agreed to it without any resistance.

He could very easily have obliterated the three of them with a flick of the wrist, but decided that if they wanted the position so bad, they could have it.

AO. He is the god of gods. He does not interact with anyone other than gods at all (though that might have changed) and he sets the cosmic rules by which all of the other gods have to abide.

Of course there's an over god.... but does he have workshippers then? Are the different planes aware of him ?

No he does not nor doe he need or want them some do claim to follow him but they get nothing

Has someone said he is only there to handle divine matters and boss thew other gods around

Why Gale mentioned nay of the gods getting directly involve would end poorly

No, he specifically is too detached from anything other than divine matters that while he does have worshippers, none of them ever get any powers like worshippers of the other deities do. Also no one is directly aware of him (to the point where there are factions that deny his existence) but the other gods all claim he exists and are adamant about it so he almost certainly does.

Ao has worshipers, but he does not grant them any divine spells. Ao has absolutely zero interest in the affairs of mortals. His job is making sure that the gods continue to do their jobs and abide by the portfolios in which they rule over.

The only times Ao has ever manifested himself, it was because the gods were trying to neglect their duties and overstep their boundaries. Ao showed up to give them a good slap and set them straight again. But beyond that, he's a rather hands off kind of figure who is only referenced in passing conversation.
