Old Ones
The Old Ones are said to be as old as Runetalras itself, and truly ageless in their form. Some claim that before the mortal races worshipped deities they venerated the Old Ones, cruel but active forces which in return for worship and sacrifice provide mortals with power and assistance that can make the difference between life and death.
The Ages where these creatures and forces received widespread worship has long since died, but small pockets of Runetalras still pay worship and sacrifice to them to survive their harsh conditions.
