Aeldergotten

The Aeldergotten, or Elder Gods, were the original inhabitants of Dunn and the creators of everything on it. Created by A'a, the original Elder God, they reigned over Dunn for 5,721 years until they were all slain in Dracarok.

Origin
A'a, the first of the Elder Gods, is implied to have always existed. It is believed by some, however, that he was the last remaining being from the previous universe. Others believe that he is one being in another universe full of gods, and that Dunn is simply one of many worlds, each with their own god.

A'a created the other Elder Gods with the help of his first wife, Estore.

Role
The Elder Gods were the creators of Dunn. Many groups worshipped a specific Elder God, and different races each had a patron god. Post-creation, the Elder Gods mostly lived on their own and tried not to meddle in the affairs of lesser races unless called upon.

Physical Description
At the time, there is no clear physical description of the Aeldergotten, but since the Aelderwos were made in Frae's image, and Frae was made in A'a's image, it can be assumed that they were humanoid in shape, though possibly massive and/or intangible. Certain landmarks (such as Aeowa's Trench) were created by the Aeldergotten physically interacting with the environment suggests that the Aeldergotten were very real, very tangible, and very capable of interacting with the environment. Since myth holds that most of the Aeldergotten were eaten by dragons circa 5721, it can be assumed that no remains exist simply because the dragons were very thorough in their digestion.

Fate
As mentioned above, common belief is that the Aeldergotten were all eaten by dragons in 5721. However, at least three of them survived. Aeowa, Mona, and Eithmere are all believed to have retreated to their respective domains (the Underworld, the Moon, and the Oceans, respectively), and are believed to still live on.
