The Elder God, Shikari the Predator, found the Beacon that led him
through the Transcendental Fulcrux. He was soon greeted by Viravain, who
called the Predator her brother. Being of the Second Circle, Shikari was
known by his peers as a violent and dark loner, who went about his
duties to hunt down the wild half-formed with an almost rapacious
enthusiasm. Intrigued by Viravain's changed nature, he has settled into
Glomdoring with his sister, focusing upon the dark forest's budding
potential with the same unyielding determination that he was known for
in the past.

Delving into the genesis of the Elder Gods, it should be known that the
outer planes (Nil, Celestia, Vortex, Continuum-to name a few) were
established by Dynara as divine creches for her creations (mostly to
hide her creations from her hungry sister). During this time, the
creations were called the half-formed and smaller creations known as the
living templates.

When the half-formed grew to be fully formed, they left the outer planes
as the entities now known as Elder Gods. Elder Gods who manifested on
the same plane (i.e., were created within the same creche) refer to
themselves as siblings, having sympathetic vibrations to one another. It
should be noted that an Elder God calling another a brother or sister
has a different meaning than to mortals, and there was no taboo against
intimate relationships with one another. The living templates remained
behind as lesser creations.

After Dynara disappeared, the half-formed that were left behind became
stunted in terms of divinity and evolved to something else. Most stayed
in their outer planes but some managed to leave and became insane,
violent entities of the Void. These were hunted by the Elder Gods of the
Second Circle. The Soulless Gods were not half-formed but rather ancient
fully formed creations (predating the Elder Gods) that Dynara discarded
and expected her sister to destroy.

In modern times, the outer planes may or may not have half-formed,
depending if those there either rose to become Elder Gods or managed to
leave their planes (again, those that did leave their planes half-formed
became insane creatures of the Void and most were hunted down by the
Second Circle). The outer planes that have been discovered, Celestia and
Nil, happen to still retain their half-formed (Supernals and Demon
Lords) as well as their living templates (angels and demons). Who know
what wonders may be discovered in the future if mortals gain access to
the other outer planes.
