The Old Ones

The old ones are the most ancient and primordial of beings. They first came into existence when time began. It is said that the Old Ones have always existed and always will exist. Unlike the other gods the Old Ones do not seek out or need followers. They care nothing for worship and do not in fact even care if they have priests or worshipers. At times they may manifest themselves in various fashions for unknown purposes. In essence The Old Ones are completely foreign to the modern thinking races and totally indifferent to them. Their names and aspects are largely unknown and only a few tales tell of them. From time to time various groups have built temples to The Old Ones and performed certain rites which have allowed them to manifest priestly powers or warlock pacts with these beings. Such groups are generally very secretive or in remote places. The Old Ones are essentially beyond mortal concepts of good and evil, but they are fundamentally antithetical to all normal life in the world and any who deal with them are likely to become warped and insane.
