Are the "Elder Gods" ever identified?   Are we supposed to assume that it is Azim and Nhaama? Or maybe Hydaelyn and Zodiark?

All that we know is that it's not Azim or Nhaama. They are who some of the other Xaela tribes worship. Other Xaela apparently make fun of the Mol for worshiping these elder gods instead of Azim or Nhaama as well, so other tribes must be familiar with them even if they're not revered.

The elder gods the Mol worship could refer to ancient belief in the Twelve, or a set of deities worshiped by an older, third Au Ra clan that Fernehalwes hinted towards. It could be something akin to the kami or an entirely different set of gods we've yet to hear about. Ultimately, we don't really have enough information.

Fernehalwes Wrote:Finally, I mention that in addition to the Xaela and Raen clans…there are rumors of a different, much older clan. (and…this is where Yoshi-P cuts me off).
Fernehalwes Wrote:I first talk about the Xaela and how they mainly reside as nomads in an area known as the Azim Steppe (which, in relation to Doma is to the immediate northwest). Azim is the sun deity and it is believed that it is his light and blessing that allows the grass to grow that feeds their herds. Now, astute players may recognize a similarity between Azim the sun deity and Azeyma the Warden…also connected to the sun… However, the Au Ra do not worship the Twelve…nor do most other people living outside Eorzea, as belief in the Twelve is pretty much restricted to Eorzea. That is not to say however that somewhere in the past the two gods were… (and Yoshi-P cuts me off).
