There are a variety of different groups of entities, all of a similar power, but different kin. While the most well known amongst them are the Gods, denizens of the Outer Planes who weild immense powers of creation and destructions. They are responsible for the initial construction of the materials plane, using the raw materials granted by the Elemental Planes. Within the Elemental Planes themselves, however, reside the Elemental Archons. These eight beings are the physical embodiments of the element of their home plane. hey weild near total control over their element, across all the planes and beyond. While the reach of the Gods is largely limited to the inner and outer planes, the Elemental Archons can reach as far as their element spans. Within the material planes, the Archfey and Archxaeri were the first mortals to ascend to deityhood. The secrets of their ascension have been lost to the ages, and it is believed they it is possible it has been lost even to themselves. The Adjudicators reside in Judakos, the Judicial Plane. The entities are created directly by The Arbiter, and while the power they exercise is oftem simlpy that of passing judgement over contested souls, it is believe by some that they are actually the most power of the deities. Finally, there are the Inkarnates of Chaos, a disparate group of entities deep within the Planar Void. While intensely powerful, these entities often lack ego, simply existing, perceiving and acting without intention.
It is often mistaken that Those That Came Before were or are some form of deity. In reality, they bare no connection to any form of deity. They exist on a far grander scale than any deity, or even the Arbiter themselves.
