[[Summary::Outside the Great Wheel the peaceful world of Idylis exists. Its denizens are young gods ready to rise to glory and take their place.]] The young gods of Idylis are beings of great power, born from the essences of dead primordial deities and the wishes and desires of the mortal masses. Those young gods do not need the worship of mortals, although created indirectly from mortals, most prefer to stay on Idylis and live a peaceful eternal life but quite a few adventure out of their peaceful home for many different reasons.
The Young Gods are majorly good aligned, with some being neutral and a very few being evil. Those that leave Idylis are typically chaoticly chaotically aligned, searching for adventure or perhaps in a quest to aid mortals. A few venture out to recover stolen technology or to avenge some mortal acts but that happens very rarely. Evil young gods are typically forced to stay on Idylis, stuck in a gilded cage of some kind, allowed to live a peaceful and comfortable existence but restrained there until they change their ways.
Despite being called young gods, some of them are extremely old, however none of them were present for the creation of the multiverse and are thus cosmologically young. Young Gods have a society of their own. While peaceful and utopian-esque, it is not perfect, and some seek to escape what they see as a restricting life to take their chances within the great wheel.
It said the denizens of Idylis are fighting a secret war against a powerful and alien enemy, but only the highest ranked Idylean god would know for sure.
