Though Genesis came first of all and created Avalon, there are four deities who have become known as the original Gods of Avalon, since they were brought into being at around the same time as the first-born entered Avalon. Their contributions to the world are to be noted here. Pericles was the first to be given divine status. His contributions were the first, beyond those of the god of time, to grace the Avalon continent.
Those who wish to marvel at his creations may look no further than the Meeting Place, and adjacent areas, Morton's Peak Tavern, the Rock Pinnacle, and even the approach to the vale of Azrili. Astrea, goddess of wisdom came next, given divine status to watch over and lend kindly assistance to the new mortals. Then came Aldaron, the god of life. His creations ranged from the Goblin City, to the Greenwood, to the ruins of Ilmarael, and the approach to Thakria. Lastly of the old Gods, Cornelius was given divine status. His contributions included all of the original guilds, and the germs of the skill of Charming, which was Avalon's first.
