Elder Gods

The First Echoes

The Elder Gods are not gods in the way mortals understand the term. They do not crave worship, they do not answer prayers, and they do not reside in a conventional heaven or hell. They are best understood as sentient, fundamental principles of reality, the conscious awareness of the universe's own operating system.

According to the most esoteric cosmic theories, they are the Echoes of the Last Song—the sole survivors of the universal cycle that preceded our own. As their reality faded into the Great Silence, they transcended their forms, becoming the very concepts they had mastered. They are the universe's memory, its foundational logic made aware.

• Their Nature: The Elder God of Magic is the Cosmic Weave. The Elder God of Fate is the Axiom of Law. They do not control these forces; they are these forces. Their consciousness is woven into the very fabric of existence.

• Their Domain: They reside in the Timeless Archives, a conceptual space outside the known planar map. It is a realm of pure information and possibility, accessible not by ship or portal, but through a moment of perfect, universe-altering revelation.

• Interaction: They are observers of the Great Cycle, not players. They communicate through revelation, not conversation. A wizard feels their presence in the flawless execution of a spell; a historian glimpses their design in the grand patterns of galactic history. The fact that they intervened so heavily during Godfall is a testament to the unprecedented, reality-breaking nature of the Saiyan's arrival.
