Forgotten Gods

The Forgotten Gods are the four Lords of Hate: Sinthrall, Wrathmane, Hexfane, and Althuzah. They are trapped in the Between by the Sky Key, and have not manifested in Landfall for thousands of years. They seek to escape and remake Landfall in their own image, to serve their own capricious delights. They are the source of all woe.

The Forgotten Gods were opposed by Althahalujezah and his Aran lieutenants, who triumphed over Althuzah in a battle of gods, long before recorded history. When the Aran left Landfall, they trusted the Sky Key to man-kin -- essentially leaving man-kin's destiny in its own hands.
