Older and primal gods of the Sharmutian era and earlier, these old beliefs are still held to in many places, but are slowly in decline.

Many of this pantheon's religious organizations have been around for thousands of years and some have become corrupt or more temporal in their focus and are sometimes regarded as being parasitic and manipulative by the common people.

Theologians refer to this group of gods as the Ithus Pantheon, but colloquially they are known as the "Elder Gods", in reference to the much newer Icus Pantheon.

Unlike the newer Icus Pantheon, which is a much more coherent mythology primarily based on Cymthonic lore and beliefs, the Ithus Pantheon is much less homogeneous and organized. Different deities are recognized or worshiped along cultural and national boundaries, and further the exact nature of individual deities may or may not differ in different lands. The following chart gives a high-level breakdown of this distribution.

Worship of some of the Ithus Pantheon survives either unchanged or in a modified format in the Icus Pantheon, though generally via a name that has been mutated through Cymthon or other languages. Such deities are noted in the Icus Pantheon document as being a "recast" of a particular deity.
