Deities (Terranovos Prime)

***Deities*** of the pantheon of *Terranovos* are extremely powerful beings who created the world and helped create life in it, eventually splitting into two groups: the Divines (who are generally seen as good- or neutral-aligned and for the most part and took over the positions of the Ancient Celestials in the aftermath of Ragnarök) and the Betrayer Gods (who are generally evil-aligned and for the most part embraced chaotic destruction.); there were also less important deities supporting the main deities of the pantheon. Following the Resurgence, in which the gods sealed themselves behind the Veil lest they endanger the world with their own conflicts, multiple lesser powers rose up in the vacuum left by the withdrawal of the true deities, offering power to mortals and gathering worshipers.

## The Pantheons:

The history of the *Terranovon Prime Continuity* has seen five deity ages, unlike the ages seen in the *Timeline*, these ages are defined by which deities were in control at the time.

### The First Age:

The First Age saw only two deities known as the *Precursors*, with one representing the nothingness that exists before reality and another representing existence itself.

* The Entity
* The Source

### The Second Age:

The Second Age saw many deities known as the *Primordials* take over after the Source became one with reality, sadly not all are known, the known Primordial deities are listed below.

* The Light
* The Darkness

### The Third Age:

The Third Age saw the rise of the *Titans* and the fall of the *Primordials*, unlike the previous deities, the Titans found themselves dealing with civil war, as the Titan Ymir, fought against his brother Kronos. This civil war eventually led to the brothers spitting the universe in half, with both sides getting half of the World Tree.
