The Eternal Gods
Otherwise known as the primordial gods, or the elder gods, they are two entities, who have existed eternally. Durius, depicted as a male, is thought to have been disconnected from the affairs of the universe, finding things to amuse himself with instead. Anrea is depicted as female, and is thought to have created things for his amusement, as well as her own. From aether, Anrea created the universe, replacing void once left there. Durius took pleasure in witnessing this, though he too had a major role in the creation of the universe. Durius was said to have created the stars in the sky, which some believe are simply tears in the universe that led to the aether, which he used to travel between the two planes.

Anrea, Mother of the Arcane
The goddess of the universe itself, and she who controls the arcane, Anrea is one of the eternal gods. Her ways and teaching are seen as manipulative and cold, she is associated with the night sky, and is said to control fate itself. She attempts to keep herself from being worshipped by the people of Ashgul, remaining a strange force, and keeping herself secretive when interacting with the mortal plane. She sometimes depicted as a puppet master, due to her actions and views on the world: she manipulates small things about the world, being a force of change. An exception of her view is obvious however, as she once had an empire erected in her name, spanning the entire world. It was soon toppled, by one of her own creations, Kertas. After this, she adopted her current philosophy, remaining elusive to the inhabitants of Ashgul.

Durius, the Jester God
Truly a lazy god, he was simply a witness to all that Anrea did. Not much is known about him, he has been elusive from the beginning, and remains a distant mystery. He is considered a fringe god, and is speculated to control the emotions of mortals. As the story goes: as he saw more and more being created, he grew more and more interest for the mortal plane. He eventually created the magics of enchantment, and is responsible for the many emotions which the inhabitants of Ashgul express. What is known for certain is that he procreated with Anrea to create the High Gods, and that he created the god Caelus, and the goddess Uta, which is where most knowledge of him comes from, aside from the occasional taunts that he flays at humanity.

The High Gods
The first descendants of the Eternal Gods, the high gods have much more intervention in Ashgulia. Birthed from Anrea, children of her and Durius, they have intervened with the mortal plane much more than they ever did.
