Avatars are a small group of fundamental entities that might also be categorized in any of the other major pantheons. They perpetuate a recurring cycle that can lead to the creation or destruction of entire worlds. The most powerful archfae, the leaders of the celestials, and the strongest fiend lords could be considered avatars. There are also a handful of avatars more powerful than all other pantheons. These avatars follow the model of the six creators, rarely involving themselves in direct happenings in the cosmos, instead guiding the other pantheons with a light touch.
