Gods of Neutrality
The world of Gaea exists in a delicate balance between light and darkness. All to often, the pendulum swings towards darkness as war and chaos sweep across the land. But there are also those who guard against The Light gaining to much strength, believing that disaster lies that way as well… The gods of neutrality are often referred to as the gods of twilight and also the World Souls, due to their representation of primal functions of nature and reality as opposed to the principles and more abstract things represented by their peers. Unlike the gods of light and darkness, the neutral gods are less a unified force and more a collection of deities with no strong allegiance and bond one way or another in regards to the eternal War of the Balance that is being fought by their brothers and sisters.
There is some debate, among scholars, if such a stance proved wise. For an Age of Ages, Animus the Archmage was seen as the patron for the gods who gathered under the banner of neutrality but in the latter days, his true form was destroyed and shattered into countless shards of divine essence. The deities 'death' ushered in an era of instability and overt as well as covert warfare amongst the bickering surviving gods and sent shock waves throughout the ordered ranks of the Holy Order of Ea. There are some who believe that Animus was aware of his impending demise and to some degree orchestrated the chaos in order to shift the balance of things, and there are others who hold that the god of magic was as blindsided as everyone else. Regardless of this fact, the fall of Animus shook the ranks of the gods of neutrality, removing from them any sense of patronage and sending each to their own domains to consolidate their power and exercise their sovereignty over their areas of dominance. Navos, who was an ancient friend to Animus, saw himself best able to bring balance to the turmoil of the Equilibrium and so left his vigil among the gods of light to join those of the World Soul but turmoil continues as each deity looks outward from their holdings and prepares for the volatile age to come.
