Each also possesses its own personality and agenda, which has led each to interact with mortals in its own way. The ancient powers rule supreme in their particular bastions, unsurpassed in power, knowledge and ability. For example a shadow hunter might venture onto grounds consecrated to the Old Gods and spill his own blood to entice the forces of primeval cruelty to come and visit their worst afflictions upon him. Shadow hunters invoke the names of dark Gods (loa), ancient powers whose legends are stained in cruelty and bloodshed, but who are also capable of benevolence when appeased. Priests whisper prayers to evoke power from beings such as Elune the Moon Goddess. With their many healing and protective spells, practitioners of divine magic are at the vanguard of the Gods’ efforts to ensure Their peoples' survival. Never directly intervening in the affairs of the world, They use divine magic as a proxy. They exist to assist those caught in the conflicts of a cruel, violent world. Most of the divine beings of Azeroth (known as eternals) are distant entities. It is known that They wrought Azeroth from pure chaos and formed it into the world it is today. Though rarely seen, the influence of the ancient powers is ever-present. While mortals fight wars to lay claim to villages and kingdoms, the powers wage a perpetual struggle to determine who will dominate the whole of the universe, with Azeroth the nearest battlefield. Yet they are beings who have shaped not only the course of history in the world of Azeroth, but often the world itself: the Elemental Lords, ruling over planes of pure power and awaiting the time when they will once again serve the banished Old Gods the Titans, whom the dwarves believe created Azeroth and many of its races the great and powerful dragons who watch over the titans’ creation the moon goddess Elune, and the demigod-like beings She created to protect and guide the creatures of the land. These are beings known only in legends to the peoples of Azeroth. Wielding godlike powers, they battle to destroy or save the world, to disrupt or cultivate life upon Azeroth (and elsewhere). Many beings transcend the bounds of mortal power and play key roles in the world’s long history, either obvious or subtle. 3.12 Elemental Lords, the elemental spirits and other elementalsĮternals are the divine-like beings of Azeroth and the other planes, who shape the large arcs of history for good and ill.3.7 The Earthmother, Skyfather and the Deepmother.
