The eternals, commonly worshipped as deities*, are the beings that built the modern world. Many continue to participate in its growth and development. Some are newcomers seeking to claim a place amongst the divinity.
Table of eternals
Domains
Each eternal sits at the intersection of two of the eight domains:
| Domain | Knowledge | Tempest | Trickery | Life | Light | War | Nature | Death |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knowledge | - | ? | Ioun, Sardior | ? | Moradin | Erathis | ? | Vecna |
| Tempest | ? | - | Brandobaris | ? | ? | Kord | Melora | ? |
| Trickery | Ioun, Sardior | Brandobaris | - | Avandra | ? | Lolth | Sehanine | ? |
| Life | ? | ? | Avandra | - | Pelor | Bahamut | Yondalla | Nerull |
| Light | Moradin | ? | ? | Pelor | - | Sune | Corellon | ? |
| War | Erathis | Kord | Lolth | Bahamut | Sune | - | Gruumsh | Tiamat |
| Nature | ? | Melora | Sehanine | Yondalla | Corellon | Gruumsh | - | ? |
| Death | Vecna | ? | ? | Nerull | ? | Tiamat | ? | - |
Religious scholars postulate that deities gravitate toward their distinct niches, because multiple eternals occupying the same combination of domains could produce deific friction, or even an erosion of the distinctions between them in the minds of their worshippers.

- 14e03
In Invictusβs study, a chart mapped the gods (and the agents and their associates) onto pairs of elements and magic domains; the agents spent quite some time working it out.
