Divine Sparks are the result of Siberys having his avatar broken up over the world of Eberron and so many meteorites carrying down fragments of his essence across the planet.  The result is an absurdly large number of individuals carrying a "'Fragment of the Divine'" within them.  Divine Sparks effectively are no different from regular human beings at base, other than they are more or less predestined to have PC classes and be drawn into interesting confrontations of Good vs. Evil.

When a Divine Spark dies, unless it is at the hands of another Divine Spark, they will have their power reincarnated into another being that will maintain a semblance of their prior self.  This has resulted in some Sparks becoming "evil" and the proverbial bad seeds in Eberron's people.  In fact, Divine Sparks pass along some of the special quality of their ancestry down to their descendants.  It is quite likely that all 'heroes' in Eberron owe some of their ancestry to one of Siberys' many fragments over the years.

There is a finite number of Divine Sparks in the world and there are probably less than a thousand left in the world.

Note: Pyriel is the only being to have achieved genuine ascension to deity status and it is possible that the necessary Sparks no longer exist.  Pyriel has literally killed thousands of Sparks over the past millennium.  Ironically, it was not until Maya freely gave her spark that he became a 'real one' and could genuinely transform.
