Elder Gods of Mankind



The Elder Gods (also known as the 'Elder Gods of Mankind') are ancient deities that have a mostly human-like appearance and are known to be benevolent, although detached, in nature. In different parts of the world such as Europe, Mesoamerica, Africa, and the Mediterranean they were worshiped by ancient humans. Nowadays, they are remembered as the gods in just about every ancient race, including Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Aztec, and many others. The Elder Gods currently reside in the Dreamlands, a vast, alternate dimension or universe, accessible to earthly humans only through dreams.

It's unknown what sort of relationship does the Elder Gods have with the other 'deities' from the beyond. When compared in power and abilities with the Outer Gods or the Great Old Ones, the Elder Gods are considered much weaker. Unless they band together to deal with their more powerful enemies. However, the Elder Gods seem to be uninterested in the actions of the other outer deities, and seem to not be concerned with the deaths of their mortal followers. Although it is suggested that they have an agenda as inimicable to mankind as the Great Old Ones themselves.
