Elder Gods

The Elder Gods are ancient beings that created all of the known universes, or aided in their creation. Before the Sundering, the Elders were fairly active in the daily lives of mortals; offering council, guiding technological advancements, or waging war. It would not be until roughly 3,000 years after the Sundering that the Elders began to awaken from their slumber and return to influencing their Creation in 42, 16th A. It is unknown what caused the Elders to reawaken, but their stirring also brought the return of the Forgotten Elders, beings who used to be Elder Gods but were stripped of their names and stricken from memory for their sins against the other Elders and all of Creation.

The Elder Gods gain their power from their own beings, and Astral Fonts. They can also gain power from religious following. That is to say, the more individuals who have knowledge of and believe in an Elder, the more power that Elder gains. In some cases, this can reawaken an Elder (as was the case with Zägévläs), or even birth a new Godling.
