The Old Gods (EAFW)

The desert madman, who swears that the elementals once had kings, screams to the moon that there were other gods before these unforgiving creatures made their first pact with men. He rants that they are not truly dead, but hide inside the souls of lesser servants. They are biding their time until they may return and punish the ones who chased them into the nether regions like wild animals. Of course, no one sane believes Jurgan's mad cant
Rumors have drifted about the hot plains of Athas for thousands of years. They say there once were gods other than the elementals. The clerics, druids, and templars that now inhabit the wastes refute this. They say that only primitive shamans believe their patrons are actually gods.
Jurgan, the priest of earth believed by the Urik templars to be mad, once travelled the land in quest of this mystery. Forty-seven years of perilous travel and adventure unearthed no evidence in support of the theory, and none to the contrary, either.
If there is any truth to the rumors, that truth is now as irrelevant as the stony structures of the ancients that sometimes break the surface of the blasted Athasian landscape.
