The Twelve Progenitors are the first conscious beings born from the remaining half of the Shattered God and created by the First Five during the creation of the world. They were created to govern over certain aspects of the world and as such are minor deities in their own right. Some are worshiped almost as much, if not more than some of The First Five however. This is partly due to the fact that they are responsible for the creation of many of the sentient races of Levantis, hence their title as Progenitors.
