An Elim term for any of the (rarely seen) otherworldly beings who have invaded the world of El’A. The principal invading Elder God races are all Eloi, humanoid: the Melakh, El-Benei, Saraf, the diminutive Maavi, and the form-swapping Shinarn (or changelings).
Generally speaking, the Elder Gods are spirits and cannot take physical form except as apparitions, whereas The Fallen are those who have irreversibly taken physical form and cannot revert to spirit.
These are the ultimate rulers of The Fallen (gods) and Anaki (demigods) and Akadian society.
