Second Generation - the First Gods

Celestial / Cosmic

Klothys and Kruphix are born and take the eldest roles in the Pantheon of Theros.

Klothys is the oldest god in the Pantheon of Nyx, and her existence is associated having occured slightly after the Titans, something that no other mortal record or god can recall. Therefore, the birth of Klothys is near impossible to date, considering the majority of what is known about the current generation of Theros was recorded after the Titains were defeated.

The oldest of the gods, often imagined as siblings or as some kind of offshoot of the titans, are Kruphix and Klothys. The origin of this second divine generation is mysterious. Perhaps Klothys arose from a sense of inevitability, a notion that the world was unfolding as it must, and thus the actions of mortals made little difference. Kruphix might have been born from a sense of mystery, supporting the idea that the workings of the universe are simply incomprehensible to mortal minds. It’s also possible that Kruphix and Klothys are a different order of beings from either the titans or the other gods, and Klothys at least has existed for unknown ages despite being all but forgotten among mortal folk.

Nevertheless, the birth of Klothys is not the most important event in relation to this time period.
