The Elder Gods were beings of great power which originated from the remains of the Elohim. Many of them personified natural energies such as those of planets, suns, moons, or galaxies, and were usually religiously tied to those locales by those that worshiped them.[1][2][3]

The most clear distinction between Elder Gods and normal deities lies in their power while being often tied to a locale, not chiefly linked there; i.e. an Elder God in Midgard would still have power in Alfheim, even if Midgard were completely unreachable.[4]

The Elder Gods oppose the destructive capabilities of the Outer Gods and the Great Old Ones.

Notable Elder Gods include Nodens, Hypnos, Bast, Atum, Chthon, Gaea, Hyppus, Issus, Oshtur, and Set.[5]
