The Heavenly Sovereigns

The **Heavenly Sovereigns** is the name of Remnant's pantheon of gods, which includes The Two Brothers and the Gods each had created. The Gods have watched over Remnant from the heavens and shadows, never directly associating with Humans or Faunus as they were ordered- as far as most people are concerned, but they didn't really have anyone to answer to after the Brothers departed Remnant. Modern Remnant has mostly forgotten these ancient beings, besides a few select groups and individuals.

The Two Brothers and the rest of the Heavenly Sovereigns are brought together by the Otherworldly Goddess for her "game", in the events of the story [...].
