"The Old Gods. Very special beings, these guys. The stuff they were doing back in the day made the stuff the Original Vampires were doing look like small potatoes!" - Isaac.
The Old Gods are a race of higher beings that once ruled over different parts of Earth. They departed for some time before eventually returning to Earth to help the students of the Salvatore School against Jack Frost.
History[]
The Greek Pantheon of Gods were first born from the Titaness Rhea. Some of the children were then eaten by their father, Cronus, however but then the head brother Zeus came to their aid. Other Pantheons have their own creation stories.
They all ruled over different sections of Earth for some time before eventually leaving to explore the cosmos. They returned however when Cronus returned to Earth and threatened to destroy it.
Relationship with the Creators[]
The Old Gods have a complicated relationship with the Creators. Cronus claimed to be a Creator but this is never confirmed and it is believed to be false. It is believed the Creators birthed the Old Gods. But Chernabog claims to come from a time before them, especially since the Creators are technically alien gods.
