An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/bnI5LpB1VFGa8ogvUyYlkg==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

It seems in almost every Mythology or Fantasy Pantheon known to man, there is mention of entities that came before and/or are above the gods themselves. They're often seen as being older and greater than the gods because Older Is Better, although there can be beings that are older yet weaker than the gods, and, in the least frequent cases, they may even be younger than the gods yet still be above them as they are above mortals. See Death of the Old Gods, for an explanation on why the older types may not be around anymore. If there's only one of them, see Top God. See also, Divine Ranks. Examples

abstract
  • It seems in almost every Mythology or Fantasy Pantheon known to man, there is mention of entities that came before and/or are above the gods themselves. They're often seen as being older and greater than the gods because Older Is Better, although there can be beings that are older yet weaker than the gods, and, in the least frequent cases, they may even be younger than the gods yet still be above them as they are above mortals. This type of being can occasionally be an Anthropomorphic Personification or Eldritch Abomination. In fact, they usually are if you check most mythologies. They also have a large overlap with Precursors, for gods at least. See Death of the Old Gods, for an explanation on why the older types may not be around anymore. If there's only one of them, see Top God. See also, Divine Ranks. Please note: These characters don't literally have to be old gods, it's merely a common term for them that's used both in and out of this site. Examples
