Old Gods of the Sickle

## A Melting Pot

The gods of the Sickle come from many places. A number of them are holdovers from the time before the six tribes. A good number of them come from one of the six tribes, in the time before the Pact. After the Pact, other gods were added to the pantheon. More still come from other cultures, beyond the Sickle.

## Old Gods

These deities come from a time before the collapse of civilization, and subsequent rise of the six tribes.

Included are two Primal deities: **Gaea**, Mother Earth, and **Anu**, the Sky Mother. These two go by many names, but they are recognized to be the oldest deities in the world, and may very well be the creators of this world.
