The Old Faith

The Old Faith is a Polytheistic religion that worships a pantheon of deities divided into Elder and New Gods. Followers of this faith worship the entire pantheon, while clerics sometimes focus on only one deity.

**The Great Cycle**

The world was created by the Creator Gods whose names and deeds have long since been lost to time. The Elder gods were the children of older deities, but even those were not the Creator gods, and when the Ancients left this multiverse to pursue other unknowable pursuits, spawned their own children known as the New Gods. Calling them new gods is a bit of a misnomer though, as they are still millenia old. Some day the Elder gods will tire of this multiverse and leave as well, at which time the New Gods will ascend and create their own children. This cycle has been going on since the beginning of time, and will continue for eternity.
