Elder God

The Elder Gods, also referred to as the Elder Deities, are an enigmatic pantheon of extradimensional primordial beings which waged a thousand-year heavenly war against the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods. Despite originating from another dimension, they have also been known to dwell in the vicinity of the star Betelgeuse, a.k.a. Glyu-Vho. They can physically manifest themselves as humanoids or as great towers of light.

Much like their enemies have other species that serve and follow them, there are species loyal to the Elder Gods, such as the Night-Gaunts who serve Nodens, and the Orion Star-Warriors.
