Preface
Many races and groups have been called "Elder Gods" along the time: ancient beings such as the Elder Gods of Earth, the Old Ones/Many-Angled Ones, the Elder Gods of Limbo, the Many-Souled Ones, the Elder Ones, the N'Garai and their masters the Mabdhara. It would also be a name for more recent pantheons, such as the Gods of Egypt and the Olympians.

The Elder Gods presented here are unlikely to be all related to each other, apart that by that name, originated from their status as ancient deities.

First Elder Gods
Fourteen billion years ago, into the Void, one of the first Elder Gods, a baby, played to create life, just before being assassinated by the time-travelling Gorr.

The Elder Gods have been alternatively described as dark gods requiring human sacrifices, and beings gifted with great wisdom and insight.



G'bharr Rjinn
The mighty (but also arrogant and ambitious) god G'bharr Rjinn sought to dethrone the Elder Gods, using his magical eyes. The Elder Gods consequently destroyed him, leaving as only remains his eyes.

Pre-Cataclysmic Age
During the Pre-Cataclysmic Age, the city of Thuron worshiped the Black Shadow and sacrificed humans to them. King Kull of Valusia decided to have all those who offered human sacrifice to the Dark Elder Gods.

13,000 BC
Circa 13,000 BC, Zulda Thaal worshiped an Elder God who bestowed him a magic breastplate, gauntlets encrusted with precious gems and an enchanted bow.

Age of Conan (10,000 BC)
The Elder Gods were invoked by sorcerers, demons, and other figures.

An Elder God by women of the race inhabiting the Vale of Lost Women, for which they performed human sacrifices. Such one was the Ophirean woman Livia of House of Chelkus, who was rescued by Conan the Cimmerian.
