The Old Promethean Gods, Old Gods or Prometheans, were beings known to Forager from stories. At least some, including Gog, had become part of the Source Wall.[1] One was at rest on New Genesis,[2] after part of the Source Wall broke away and eventually fell to New Genesis as a meteor, forming Boiling Lake Crater.[3]

Their language, the Tongue of the Old Gods, is recognized by Gretchen Goode.[4]
