Aera

The Aera, also called Gods or Creators, are a mysterious race that predates all history of Humanity. For centuries they've been worshipped as the controllers of the natural order. However, for a thousand years they've been absent and scholars believe they're on the verge of extinction. The Aera rarely reveal themselves to Humans, but when they do it is with a display of power and holiness that inspires worship.

Profile
As the oldest known race in the world, the Aera are also the most powerful. Their magic seems to know no limits and increases as they age with the oldest being able to shape reality. The Elder Aera, Achelous, was able to slow the flow of time and reverse death. Aera are also resilient to death. Even when they die, they are able to recycle their soul into another body to be born again. They do not suffer from aging, but after rebirthing enough times their magic becomes so powerful their existence is unstable. All past Aera souls currently reside in the Spirit World where they'll rest for all eternity.

While just an extraordinary powerful and primordial race, the Aera are worshipped as and called Gods by humanity. They have accepted the title and refer to themselves as such. Old Aera would often inspire worship in their own ways which has led to dozens of religions all serving different Aera. The most served God is Achelous, also called The First One or The God, who was the leader of the Aera race during its prime long ago. Achelous lived so long ago that even when the Aera fell in their final war, he was already 'dead'. Religions surrounding Achelous dominate the three largest empires: Kaentos, Chikyu, and Azahara 'Ard.

History
WIP.

The Aera were once a thriving, dominant race. They lived in the heavens which is now destroyed. A great war wiped them out, which Solmenos was a part of. His three sons were only babies at the time, and he abandoned them to grow up on their own.

In the current day, there are only five Aera alive. Atropos exists in the Underworld acting as the Warden for all the Daera. Solmenos and his three sons - Elwood, Kenlow, and Typhallos - are only four that can access the Physical World.
