Elder Gods

Before time and space made sense, there was the void. And in the void, the Elder Gods have always lurked. Scholars debate whether the Elder Gods are even truly entities, or whether they're simply manifestations of the infinite void itself. Certainly, the forms mortals give to them bear only the most fleeting resemblance to the Elder Gods themselves, and their true motives are inscrutable and incomprehensible. The minions of these gods sometimes co-operate, and are other times at odds with each other.
