Elder Gods

Emerging from the primordial Chaos Ma'tol, the Elder Gods were the initial life forms on Earth. They became active on our planet after the conclusion of the Cretaceous period, millennia before the earliest human civilizations arose.

## History

The genesis of these divine entities can be traced back to Ma'tol, the primordial chaos god who served as the embodiment of the Earth's potential biosphere. Ma'tol, in an act of cosmic creation, infused the planet with his own life essence, giving rise to the Elder Gods. This celestial family, having originated from the same divine source, diversified into tribes or pantheons, with each pantheon intricately linked to various geological, cultural, or ecological boundaries.

Approximately 77,000 years ago, the Elder Gods held sway over Earth until a pivotal juncture when their reign faced a dramatic downturn. Their own creation, humankind, spearheaded a rebellion led by two figures, Adam and Eve, who sought to emancipate humanity from what they perceived as the oppressive dominion of their god-like progenitors.

In the aftermath of their kind's extinction, the Elder Gods found a curious form of continuity through their creations. They achieved this by imbuing their essence—referred to as Ka, the life energy—into their progeny. As the Elder Gods faded into the recesses of antiquity, their memory endured solely through the remnants of myths and legends. Across diverse cultures and nations, including the Greeks, Romans, Scandinavians, Mayans, Aztecs, Japanese, and others, these ancient deities were venerated and remembered for their enigmatic role in shaping the cosmic tapestry of existence.
