Ancient Entities are divine creatures whose nature has transcended simple Godhood.

* **The Man in the Moon** – Formerly known as the God Obad-Hai, god of nature, freedom, hunting, and beasts. He remembers nothing of his former self, only his lofty position watching over Mortals, as a sort of Guardian Spirit. The Man in the Moon is drawn to a presence on any world with Mortal Life. Should that planet not have a moon naturally, The Man in the Moon creates or moves one into a stable orbit, that he may use it to observe mortals.

* **Polaris, The Great Northern Star** – Formerly known as Pelor. The Primal Aspect of Light, God of sun, light, strength and healing. More humans worshipped Pelor than any other god before or since. While he remembers his former position, he fell into a deep slumber, his light is his only manifestation in the Material Planes. Somehow, regardless of which planet in creation you stand upon, Polaris somehow lights the way North.

* **The Necronomicon** – Formerly known as the God Vecna, god of destructive and evil secrets, The God discovered a great magical artifact, a spell book that survived the destruction of the previous multiverse, as well as the creation of the current one. As he read from its pages, his power and abilities grew, until his lust for power outstripped his ability to handle those same powers. Finding himself physically weakened by his situation, the book itself drew him in, permanently merging him with the Book.

* **Delphi, The Far Seer** – Formerly known as Ioun Goddess of Knowledge, Skill and Prophecy. Ioun looked into the Future and Saw her own demise. Her desire for knowledge, and subsequently power, slowly drove her insane. When she had finally discovered the fate of all that is, was and would be, she became Delphi, and let her former position behind forever.

* **The Sandman** – In the Beginning, Moradin, God of the Dwarves was revered by many a Dwarf. Once his creations matured, Moradin rested. During this rest, he discovered that sleeping mortals visited a realm devoid of the usual protections that safeguarded the Prime Material. Moradin took action, and created a new realm, the Emerald Dream. Able to reach vast distances, Moradin was drawn to each sleeping mortal, where he dusted the eyes of mortals with his Dream Sand, protecting their physical forms, while they slept. With his new labor of love, Moradin slept for so long that his Physical Form eventually died, however his presence in the Emerald Dream transcended his need for a physical form.

* **The Broken** – When mortals native to the Second World, began to fear for their lives during the Eldritch Wars, they meddled far beyond their understanding. To grow their powers and hopefully, protect their world, they sought to summon one of these Eldritch beasts in the vain hope that they could enslave it to protect their world. This creature's will was greater than they planned for, but its body was far weaker than they expected. The beasts body was ripped apart by the summoning, its mind intact but maddened, fueled by anger and pain, The Broken seeks out the insane, and empowers them.

* **The Bogeyman** – Olidammara tried to play a trick on AO, during the Eldritch Wars, likely the worst timed prank ever. Olidammara found himself twisted, and contorted into the form of a shadow, stretched and simultaneously more and also a fraction of his previous self. He bears many names as a result of his infraction Kappa, Boggart, Big Bad Wolf and even Slenderman. AO allowed Olidammara to continue on in this way as a lesson of his power to other dieties and the Eldritch Horrors alike.
