The Scions
After the dawn of time, the primordial gods also become the progenitors of numerous other offspring, either on their own or through a supernal melding. These gods, known as the Scions, represent the deities who remained to oversee the remnants of what the ancients created, the caretakers of the New Garden after Thrennum separated the powers of the ancients from changing the earth. The Scions are the meaningful manifestations of how the physical realities interact with one another to produce the social and situational realities of the civilized world. The Scions are too numerous to know in their entirety. New deities and demi-gods seem to emerge at troublesome times, and are present in documents or in new practices that become popularized in various communities of the Empire. But the more lasting manifestations of the Scions have typically included the following:
| The Scions | Manifestations | Supernal Progenitors |
| Anesh | Awareness and remembrance | Nalvaram and Chissallous |

There are those who believe that the Outcasts trapped among the halfhollows have produced their own form of scions, great titans who lay dormant, waiting for the right time to re-emerge from the halfhollows and reclaim the world as their chaotic playground. But few citizens of the Empire concern themselves with what rests within the halfhollows, content that the surface world as governed by the Scions is the legacy of the primordial gods. *Note also that the supernal progenitors of some Scions are contested and debated, as few relics and little information about these holy texts remain from the first age.
