Estarra, the Eternal, is beyond even the elder gods, for she represents a culmination of the primal forces that created the multiverse of Lusternia (see the histories for more detail) and rules over all divinities. With the exception of the Soulless Gods, all gods and goddesses must answer to her and her alone, though she does not interfere (or, it must be said, truly care) about their positioning, schemes and politics.

Roark is one of the most ancient of the elder gods and is responsible for liberating Estarra. A reclusive god, he rarely interacts directly in the affairs of mortals. For those he does engage with, he incites his followers towards embracing freedom and achievement above all else. He is often seen accompanied by his silver eagle and alabaster rattlesnake.

To the aslarans, He is the Old Man of the Woods. To the igasho, the First Wanderer. The elfen know Him as the Master of the Wild; to the fae He is simply Father. These names illustrate the many aspects of the God known to all others as Auseklis. His interests are vast and varied, but include exploration and travel, the wilderness, and all wild creatures. His personality has been known to quickly change from friendly to grumpy, from humorous to angry, from quiet to boisterous. The only emotions that seem to stay constant are His hatred of cities - which He views as tumours on the landscape - and His love of all things natural. His symbol is a four-pointed star, marking both the four directions of the compass and the star-lit skies that cover the wilderness.

Power tempered with compassion, artistry wrought with imagination, these are but minute facets of the complex aspects of Isune. She holds the act of making viable creations from raw materials in high regard, as well as applying the principles of artistry to such things as battle, or more abstract concepts like mortal nature. Of those who would seek Her, She expects compassion, fidelity, a willingness to help others, and to do whatever it takes to reach one's goals. As serious as Her initial impressions may appear, however, She is particularly fond of whimsical games and contests that test mortal character and ability. She despises the Soulless, Taint, and creations warped from their natural state by these, considering them flawed and defaced works.

Isune often appears in likeness of a resplendent and noble trill, but with empyrean wings and grace that surpasses that of even the angelic Holy Supernals. However, She has been known to manifest in many forms, from the smallest of winged creatures, to the mightiest birds of prey, and these beings are often identified with Her. Her symbol is a stark white falcon on a field of midnight stars, representing both power and hope.

Lacostian was one of the more ancient Star Gods, being among the first to emerge from a cosmic plane with His brother, Elcyrion. His existence was one filled with study and contemplation, earning Him the circle of Meditator after the departure of Dynara and Magnora. Lacostian took great interest in the esoteric and possessed an unrivalled control over the fabric of Magic, arguably making him one of the strongest spellcasters in known history.In modern times, the Mysterial Lord suddenly disappeared from moral eyes, not to be seen for many decades. When the voice of Lacostian was heard again, it bore news of grave events which were taking place within reality. Lacostian had been studying the fraying of the fabric while Elcyrion had been seeking for a solution. Unfortunately, Lacostian had become trapped within the layers of the fraying reality he was studying, causing Him to be slowly ripped apart along with the layer He occupied.

On the 4th of Dioni, in the year 162 CE, Lacostian used His divine essence to fuel one of the most powerful spells ever seen in the history of Lusternia, causing His being to evaporate and be pulled along as His spell pierced the layers of reality, scattering Him across creation and ending the entity of Lacostian forever.

The spell was successful in its purpose and allowed mortals to achieve a connection to Elcyrion. The events that followed are not completely understood, but in the end, the essence of Elcyrion and Lacostian became one, giving birth to the Enigmatic god Elostian.

Features obscured beneath the Crimson Mask from which He takes His name, Fain gazes scornfully upon the common muck and rabble of mortality, only the most able and ambitious to join His Masquerade. Born the First Circle of the Elder Gods, He was a leader and diplomat His peers, and supervised the Fifth Circle in its endless pursuit knowledge. Therefore He is a God favoured by the powerful, worshipped generals, governors, and the Magnagoran aristocratic ruling elite, whose ranks His Priesthood is predominantly constituted. Fain's are shrouded in secrecy, as secret as the visage which lurks His Mask, save that He views the Basin of Life as a vast , and mortals as pieces through which the great game of power is played. His immense hatred toward Elfen and Merians is well documented, but He also bears an enmity toward the race of Kephera, by machinations He was imprisoned within the Undervault.

His symbol is a red mask on a field of black.

Forbidden temptations of knowledge, arcane magics long thought forgotten, and the pursuit of the undiscovered in each despite moral limitations, these are the hallmarks of Raezon. Not content with merely the natural, the truly sacrosanct hold no boundaries for the depths of His thirst for the unknown. Transcending the planes in His quest, He seeks only those within the upper echelons of intelligence to fuel His intent to gain the knowledge of the Soulless Gods themselves. Those that hold true to His calling are scattered throughout the cities and communes as He accepts all those who wish to truly ascend to a higher understanding. The underlying edges of reason are mere playthings in His quest, and He will sacrifice anything and everything in His path to attainment. His symbol is an argent pentacle inscribed with blue flame.

Ethereal and mysterious, the Elder Goddess Lisaera returned to Lusternia a century after the return of Roark and Estarra’s coming, quickly aligning Herself with the Serenwilde Commune. Often linked to the Ethereal Realm, Lisaera has millennia-long ties to the Fae, and is kin to Auseklis, the First Wanderer and Master of the Wild. Together, They guide the mortals whose interests lie in the forests and nature.

Bearing a deep-seated wariness of all cities, She does not trust that which is built upon nature, preferring that Her followers live in harmony with it. Bearing particular fondness for Elfen and Faelings due to their origins in Her splintered sister Elfenehoala, Lisaera is known to be contemptuous of those races twisted by the Taint, the Orcs and Viscanti above all.

Tending towards the spiritual and magical facets of nature, She is fond of rituals and often harnesses the powers of the elements for Her own uses. Her symbol is a silver chalice wreathed in ethereal vines.

Terentia delights in combat and is particularly partial to strategic, large-scale warfare. She, however, is not a savage goddess and shows no favor to those who love unrestrained bloodshed nor to those who create conflict solely for the sake of violence. She loathes those who excessively indulge their turbulent natures, for they are those who have sullied the good name of combat.

All who strengthen themselves mentally, physically, and spiritually through honorable means and guide others in doing the same find favor with Terentia. Though the Taint beguiles those who fall prey to its siren call with illusions of strength, She regards the inability to resist the Taint's temptation as the most contemptible form of weakness. Any who actively fights to cleanse the land of this crutch for the weak minded is esteemed most by Her. She shows little regard for those who have succumbed to the Taint, considering them significant only long enough to destroy
them. As a result, She displays utter disdain for those of the viscanti race.

The Elder God known as the Golden Lord was once a prominent patron of New Celest. He traveled to the Void to rescue Terentia the Even Bladed from a strange interdimensional force, only to become caught himself while freeing her. He is presumed to have been consumed by Morgfyre, the Legion.

Viravain, Mistress of the Webs, is perhaps the most enigmatic of the Elder Gods. She was originally a minor creation goddess who mainly created small insects and birds. She returned to Lusternia from the Void with Lord Hajamin, who had protected her during those dark times. She became much loved by many, being a flighty and timid goddess. However, that all changed when she was possessed by the Soulless God Kethuru, who was had escaped his prison. When Kethuru was finally banished, Viravain was much changed. The most intriguing change of all was her inability to see the Taint, whose existence she refuses even to recognize. Her will likewise became strong and unbending, her intelligence was greatly increased, and she began to display subtle talents of manipulation and intrigue.

Now called the Mistress of the Webs, Viravain remains in her beloved Glomdoring Forest. Strangely enough, she remembers nothing of her possession by Kethuru, and her memories are stitched together from before and after this calamitous event, leaving her perceptions often confounding to the other Elder Gods, much less to mortals. She remembers Fain as a traitor still from the Elder Wars (though they both oversee tainted regions, she refuses recognize her forest as anything but as it was). She views Raezon as an ally for helping her remake the Ravenwood Tree (though this resulted in her possession by Kethuru). She remembers Hajamin fondly for protecting her in the Void (though he cannot stand what she has become). Nevertheless, she is obsessed with Glomdoring Forest, contemptuous of all other regions in the Basin (though somewhat respectful to Serenwilde because it is a forest, another perplexing attitude given the hostilities Serenwilde has shown Glomdoring) and dreams of one day that the Basin will be filled with nothing but the Glomdoring Forest.

Her symbol is a spider web with a black widow in the center.

Not much is known of this enigmatic god, except that he is the brother to Viravain.

Elcyrion was one of the more ancient Star Gods, being among the first to emerge from a cosmic plane with His brother, Lacostian. His existence was filled with study and exploration, earning Him the circle of Thinker upon the departure of Dynara and Magnora. Elcyrion took great interest in the fabric of reality and possessed a strong natural Will by which He could alter this in a way akin to modern Psionics.

In modern times, the Erudite suddenly disappeared from mortal eyes, not to be seen for many decades. When the voice of Elcyrion was heard again reality was fraying badly and His brother had perished. Elcyrion had managed to find the old workshop of Xyl, named Xion, by means of which He would be able to undo the damage to reality and seal the cause of this damage; the Nexusus. Elcyrion had met a fate similar to His brother's however, and He had become sealed within Xion as the ancient systems unstabilized and backfired because of the Tainted energy of the elemental plane of earth.

On the 25th of Vestian, in the year 162 CE mortals attempted to unseal the workshop of Xion, but the ancient security systems proved too difficult and eventually, all were killed, but not before weakening the systems which kept Elcyrion locked. In a last attempt to get loose and stabilize reality, Elcyrion shattered many of Xion's logic conduits, allowing Him access to the controls of Xion. The following events are not understood, but as Elcyrion stabilized reality His essence fused with that of His brother, creating a completely new entity known as Elostian.

Surrounded by silence and mystery, little is known of the Elder God, Nocht. Summoned by the pain of His greatest Awakened Spirit, Mother Night, Nocht returned to the First World over 200 years after the Coming of Estarra. Healing the wounds dealt the Great Spirit inflicted upon her by Father Sun, Nocht quickly aligned Himself with the Glomdoring Commune that worshipped His most cherished creation.

Once known as a soft spoken, even shy, member of the Sixth Circle, Nocht was among the first to leave the First World after the attacks of the Soulless Ones. Separated from the other Elders, Nocht was left to drift alone in the darkest corners of the Void. His silence betrays nothing of how aeons in the Void have altered the Silent Lord. He is equipped with a sharp intellect, and masterful skills at manipulating raw spirit. This Elder God reveals little to those who do not serve Him, and even those that do are not often made aware of His motives and intentions.

One of the few remaining Elder Gods of the First Circle, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted, was once known for His work with the Hamadhi. Both healers and caretakers of the Half-Formed, those infant Elder Gods that had not yet reached adulthood when Dynara and Magnora left to search for the Nameless Son, Eventru was among those of the First Circle to ensure they were kept within their creche, and later to lend His assistance during the Elder Wars in the healing of those who took to battle. While many Elders partake in the love of battle, Eventru's has always remained one of observation and support, stepping to the fore to give directives and guidance to those who offer aid to the combatants, while staying out of vanguard of the charge.

As the traitorous acts of Fain and His followers are always weighing heavy on His mind, Eventru holds a deep hatred for all things marred by the Soulless, and often times forbids any from speaking of them in His presence. As a Leader of Healers, He has always held the belief that the manipulation of the natural pathways that each Elder God was formed with, or in the instance of mortals born with, was dangerous at best, and tantamount to blasphemy at worst. Though He does not hold those who fan their divine spark in poor light, He most certainly despises those touched by the Taint or other forms of Soulless corruption, whether intentional or not.

For those seeking to follow the Crown of the Exalted, He holds them to four virtues: Loyalty, Courage, Pride and Purity. For without Purity of the soul and body, one cannot have Pride in themselves. Without Pride in ones deeds, one cannot have Courage in defending them, and without Courage, one has but fear and self-loathing, and with fear, there is only dissent.

Known amongst the Elders as a minor Fourth Circle Goddess devoted to painting and sculpting the flowers of the First World, Maylea was often called the Bloom of Serenity. Far more serious than many of Her fellow artists, Maylea looked into the spirits of the flowers to find for Her art, giving the blooms beauty to add meaning to their short-term lives. A quiet and somewhat reclusive Goddess, little else was known about Her during the days of the Elders. In the time of the Elder Wars, She distinguished Herself by making objects of power to help protect the other Elders from the threat of the Soulless. Eventually finding Her way back to the First World in the modern year 208, She soon aligned Herself with the Serenwilde, as it most reminded Her of the purity of Lusternia before the Soulless came.

Maylea values above all else introspection in those who seek Her, as well as a willingness to examine oneself critically. She also approves of curiosity and intellect, encouraging Her followers to express themselves in the way that best suits them, whether that be through art, the craft of combat, or scholarly pursuits. At the same time, She places emphasis on personal responsibility. As once She looked into the spirits of the flowers and painted their best qualities, She seeks to draw the best qualities of Her followers to the fore.

Her symbol is a crystal orchid, refracting the light into many colours.
