Elemental Lords

Source Gods & Magic pg. 81 2.0
Born amid the primal chaos of the multiverse's earliest days, the eight elemental lords are divine embodiments of the Inner Spheres' raw elemental forces.

Monitor Demigods

Source Gods & Magic pg. 89 2.0
While fiends exploit mortals' baser natures and celestials encourage their better selves, monitors are concerned more with method than morality, from the rigid law of aeons and inevitables to the pragmatic neutrality of psychopomps, to the unpredictable chaos of proteans. Rather than immersing themselves in issues of philosophy, monitors take a more cosmic approach, battling each other over universal laws, the planes, and reality itself... (click to see full entry)

Pantheons

Source Gods & Magic pg. 93 2.0
A pantheon is a group of related gods worshipped either individually or together.
