The mortal champions of the of the [[Eight Makers]] who were raised to Demi-Godhood after the [[Battle of Sacrifice]]. They resided on the mortal plane for many years after their raised status, and their intrigues and affairs lead to the rise of the earliest cities and kingdoms. In the wake of a pair of [[usurping]] assassinations, and cognizant somewhat of the damage their powers were doing on the mortal plane, they agreed (more-or-less) as a group to retreat to the Outsider planes. Either the Veil was already in place, or they constructed it after their exodus, but in either case the journey was one way and they could only only communicate with the world through their child oracles, whose cryptic divinitory pronouncements and visions guided the actions of local and regional priesthoods.


The mortal followers of the Eight raised to Demigod status at the conclusion of the First War (or the usurpers that killed those followers). After several centuries of romance, intrigue, and calamitous drama, they chose (or were forced by those who chose) to retreat behind the Veil, able only to communicate through their child [[Oracles]].
The were the receptacles of all or almost all divine magic until the the end of the [[Prophet's War]], when the [[ascension]] of [[Alexandria]] to the [[Omnity]] lead to their annihilation.
 
Although the Demi-Pantheon had mortal roots, their long time as shapeshifting superpowers made them quickly abandon notions of species, race, and gender. Excepting for Servitors, stores speak of them appearing in almost any and every form during their time on the mortal plane. Almost every noble and royal family in the Mainland claims descent from some member of the Demi-Pantheon or other, and a large number of those claimants are no doubt correct.
 
A great number of the [[Warlock Cults]] that have risen in the wake of the [[Scism]] and the [[Crisis of the 15th Century]] focus around one of these extinct demigods. The power of these cults cannot be denied, although the ultimate source of that power is a source of vigorous debate over a century on.
