Old Gods

Long ago before the magic era before the idea of life was even thought about the world and most other dimentions drenched in endless deep oceans and were filled by beings known as Apolith. Ancient alien like creatures with power over mind and body alike. Hyper intelligent creatures that had thrown off the shackles of death.

Four of the eldest Apolith, height atop their great Eldrich tower achieved assencion upon becoming much more then Apolith, they became like forces of nature. Their existence was as mighty and as absolute as the wind blowing, plants growing and the planet turning. They had become what we know today as Old Gods.
Almost nothing is truly known about the old gods, forces like time and space, inconceivable beings so far above the idea of life and death its impossible to truly let words on parchment tell of them.
One thing is for sure, they never act upon an urge, almost everything happens just by their presence. Its easiest to think of the great four as everlasting trees. They spread their psychic roots into the minds of mortals to feed off there emotional energy not by choice but purely by instinct. Each one is responsible for a select amount of emotions.

No mortal can ever hope to match any of the old god's power as they cannot even fathom the idea of it.

All Old ones loose their child, still birth of ideals or miss carriage of beliefs. forever searching for suitable surrogates of their orphans.

A blessed fate of the unhinged mind
