# The Architects ## Category Possible Higher Divine Tier / Cosmic Entities ## Known Facts - The Architects, The All Gods, and The All Beyond are names or references used for entities believed to exist above the known gods. - They are inferred or believed to be the ultimate tier of divinity. - They may be tied to the universe itself. - Mentions of them are rare. - They are considered theoretical in many records. - [[The Old Gods]] appear much more frequently in documented religious material. - The theory suggests the Old Gods may have been the visible religious face, while the Architects were the deeper divine structure behind everything. ## Known By - [[Sol Spire]] scholars - Party, through in-world book/research - Possibly very few modern religious authorities - Possibly unknown to most common worshippers ## Connected To - [[Deus Absconditus]] - [[Ko]] - Old Gods - [[Sol Spire]] - [[The Known Structure - Pre-Breaking|The Known Structure: Pre-Breaking]] - The Breaking - [[Ko'vatar]] - [[Kazzad]] ## Open Questions - Are these three names different names for the same beings? - Are The Architects, The All Gods, and The All Beyond separate concepts? - Did any culture worship them directly? - Did they create the Old Gods? - Did they create [[Tarin]]? - Are they responsible for The Breaking? - Did they intervene after The Breaking? - Are the New Gods connected to them? - Why is [[Ko]] the only repeated named figure linked to this tier? ## Session 27 — Myvendra’s Testimony Myvendra described the Architects from the perspective of an antediluvian being who claims to have existed before The Breaking. According to her: - Pre-Breaking beings like herself were once **mindless and puppeteered**, but also **favoured and loved**. - The Architects later **forsook** them. - Those beings were set free, cast aside and replaced by the Architects' **new children: the New Gods**. This is a first-person claim from Myvendra and should be kept distinct from the more cautious historical theories recorded in [[The Known Structure - Pre-Breaking]].
