Elder Gods

The Старшие боги are creators of the current universe. After creating Gielinor, their final and perfect world, the Elder Gods would prepare to sleep, before learning that Gielinor had some "impure" anima. They would send the anima to Ashenfall, turning the continent into a 'vent' of impure anima, so that their eggs could continue to consume. Sometime during their sleep, the Dragonkin had arrived to Gielinor. One of these dragonkin, known as Kerapac, would create a device that generated what he believed was power that could challenge the creators. Sensing the toxic energy being generated, Jas, the eldest of the Elder Gods would ravage the settlement of the dragonkin, putting a stop to Kerapac's plan. She would then give them a purpose and bind them to the Catalyst, also known as the Stone of Jas, to safeguard it from other potential creatures that could exist. After, they returned to sleep, ignoring the dragonkin and the world further.

In the Sixth Age of Gielinor, they would awaken. appointing the World Guardian as a representative to mortal life, to prove their worth. Sadly, with recent events, a war against them was waged. Despite the odds, the mortals prevailed against them, but at a large cost.
