Elphedver
The Elphedver—who got their name by being known as the gods of the Elphead—were the powerful deities that shaped Syoll’s landscape. During the Elphead ages, they did not rule or intervene in the matters of the Material Plane, keeping a distance once the land was shaped the way they wanted it to be.
Days of the Elphead
Not much else is known about the relationship between the Elphead and their gods, nor about the later days of their existences. All that is known is that eventually, the Elphead disappeared and left Syoll behind them. With no more beings to worship them, or even believe them to be real, the Elphedver lost their powers and all fell into a long sleep, remaining alive, but unconscious, and the world slept with them. It is assumed that the moment the Elphedver fell into their long rest, the darkness fell and the Shadow Age began.During the Counted Years
The Elphedver only woke up millennia later, when Syollans began to spread the news of their existence after a string of discoveries had been made in the fifth and sixth century. Their waking up and returning to find their seats taken by the Syolladver would be the beginning of the Doomsday Century, in which they battled the new gods and with this war caused major destruction on the Material Plane. After the Doomsday Century ended and peace was reinstated, the Elphedver were offered to remain in the Outer Planes with the Syolladver and have their own following if they wish. They refused, however, preferring to walk the Material Plane in disguise and doing as they wish there.
