Following the events of the Breaking, most of the gods of the ancient world died in conflict with the outside entities and Esuriiten titans, then again they were brought in to fight against the fiendish hordes raised by Incancatus. Only six divines survived this holy devastation, the oldest of the old gods, the ones believed to have been on Orizon since before the beginning.
These gods are the focus of the oldest myths and the greatest devotion, most worship is focused around them and the lesser gods fear their wrath and pay them subservience and tribute. The Ancient gods also command the greatest powers remaining from the old world, each retains control of a single solar archangel, the only surviving old angels. None of the new gods possess the strength to empower an angel to a solar’s strength. The knowledge of these ancient gods is immense as they have survived since the foundation of the world and they have seen both the rise and fall and the recovery of the world’s people.
