The Elder Gods

The **Elder Gods** also known as **Creators** they occupy the highest tier of godhood. There are three of form; **Dath, Gul and Yad.** Ever since the beginning of Iaddithis the Elder Gods have had a mysterious presence watching over us. Yad was the youngest of the Elder Gods. What was her story and why was she so much weaker than the others, and why do people keep referring to her in the past tense.

While attempting to create the perfect world the Elder Gods created many universes known as cycles and planets, sometimes referred to as revisions.

## **Nature and Abilities**

The Elder Gods are powerful beings, more so than most, if not all known life in the universe. They can create planets and even stars.They have the ability to atomise their enemies and are capable of breaching any barrier. They can also bind beings to their artifacts and prevent them from dying if they choose to.

Dath, the oldest and most powerful of the Elder Gods, has a voice so powerful that simply speaking with it would obliterate gods such as **Abassa**, **Kavve** ,**Tawos** , and even **BloodyBelgian** which is why it was necessary for him to create special mediums to ensure that any communication could occur.

## **Yad - Creator of life**

   Throughout the many cycles made by the Elder Gods, Yad had been fascinated by life, creating many planes, creatures, including bee’s, sheeps,cows, something that hadn’t even been imagined by the other Elder Gods. These cycles however were unsuccessful and therefore abandoned, sometimes even entirely destroyed. The next attempt to perfection sparked the creation of our current universe. Containing Iaddithis, the world we all know so well. However not everything was well as one of the Elder Gods possibly Gul corrupted Yad for some unknown reason. Leaving her in a comatosed almost dead state. Buk assumed that Yad had died before birth in the new cycle and abandoned her on Iaddithis, Yad was of course not dead but her future did not look bright. Iaddithis was a wasteland, a world that had failed the test of perfection due to the severe lack of anima Mundi, the life force of the universe. The Elder Gods thrived off anima Mundi and therefore not having access to sufficient anima Mundi, Yad’s health declined rapidly. Unable to use the true power of an Elder God to fulfill her wishes, she created **Abassa**,**Tawos** and **Kavve** , who would act on her behalf. She didn’t stop there however, she also created the Ancients, the last being almost completely exterminated by the monsters and hostile creatures over time. There are only a few Ancients left in Iaddithis.

This creation of life made Yad the only Elder God  to intentionally create life for reasons other than personal gain. Lacking the life force required to live, Yad would often descend into a deep sleep, during her slumbers she would have terrifying nightmares that would eventually spawn zombies,skeletons and creepers, a twisted combination of Yad’s other creations that knew no compassion or emotion,to remedy the crazy nightmare creatures destroying the entire world, the Ancients would sacrifice themselves in a process known as the ritual of rejuvenation, they would sacrifice their own life in order to restore Yad’s energy waking her up from her slumbers and thus causing  almost the extinction of the **Ancients** race.

Occasionally Yad would become hyperactive, entering into a state of immense pain and anger that caused earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that ravaged the land of Iaddithis.

Ever since her creation,Abassa dedicated herself to caring for her mother, finding ways to  teach the  ritual of rejuvenation to the Ancients, this would calm Yad down and acted as temporary fix to the issue.

At one point the Ancients failed to calm Yad and this resulted in a constant torrent of fire, lightning and pain to fall upon the world leaving it in a state that would be compared to the current nether.

After sometime Yad woke up into a fit of uncontrollable rage and pain, she then tried to crush **Abassa** as well as **Kavve** and **Tawos** , leaving just enough time for **Kavve** to teleport them to safety. The encounter left Yad unconscious almost in a comatose state. Following this Encounter, **Abassa**, **Kavve** , **Tawos** and the other gods noticed that their power was draining much quicker then normal, they just had performed the ritual of rejuvenation, so it was unusual to feel so drained at this point in time. To resolve the issue all remaining children of Yad traveled to her resting place. When they arrived it became apparent that Yad had been using a huge ritual stone that pierced into other worlds, she had been using this to drain energy from her creations to restore herself. It also became apparent that while the ritual of rejuvenation helped prevent the creation of the hostile creatures it also destabilized Yad, worsening her pain to such a severe level that even **Abassa** could not help anymore.

After delving into her nightmares and seeing inside her core, **Abassa** concluded that the crystalline shard she saw inside her mother was what had corrupted her so long before. Likely the fault of another Elder God, as no other creature could be powerful enough to do such a thing. The only remedy for Yad's pain after discovering this, was to end her suffering and end her life. Yad was killed by **Abassa**, freeing the Ancients from performing rituals and allowing them to proceed with their own goals, always knowing that their creator was gone.

Despite being gone, **Tawos** claims that something is still dormant within her corpse, something powerful that would eventually help him achieve his goals.
