The Anthara, or “Creators,” are the primary pantheon of gods in
Elthyra. These capricious immortals are ruled by King
Fatherhood and Queen Motherhood from the Kingdom
of Creation at the far northern continent, guarded by the unbreachable
Shadow Barrier. Though the Age of Creation is
over and no more gods or races will be born, the Anthara retain immense powers
of creation. Anything the Anthara make is arcane—from a written poem, to a
string of thread cut from yarn, to a newly forged sword: the act of creation is
inherently arcane. All these things will be magic.
