For eons the young gods have protected the earth. The great pantheons of earth moving as they could. But now the awakened primordial beings attack as soon as they sense the gods manifesting on earth.
Now forced to use their agents, and children, the pantheons of earth come together in fragile factions. Moving to sever the links the primordials have formed with Rifts Earth, they work to allow their parents and masters back into the world.
The Primordial Alliance, if it could truly be called an alliance, includes elder gods of ancient egypt, titans, and other forces of nature, previously held in slumber due to the waning power. However as they awaken and their power begins to touch the earth the signs are obvious for those who know to look.
The Celestial Accord includes many prominent and some unknown members of the younger religions. Greeks, Norse, Chinese, and others. Working to reduce the influence of the Primordials and their minions in any way they can.
