Also called The Old Gods
From the book
The Old Gods were the deities of the very first human tribes, and many cultures around the world still honor them. Every one of them has mastered both elemental and low magic. They seldom come to the material plane in person, though now and then they show themselves to their followers in dreams and visions.
Their representatives on earth are shamans, druids and some witches and warlocks. Most of these take a single Old God as their patron and hold the others in somewhat lower regard. Each Old God stands for one or more aspects of nature: Abar the rain, Ash the mysterious one, Atta the bear, Eloah the sun, Hawwa the moon, Mana the owl, Og the bull, Saara the woman, Saha the wind, Tama the tree, Tara the man, Vana the dove, Xax the vulture and Za the serpent.
