The Rathe: maker of the land, The Council.
The Rathe is a council of twelve beings that rule over the Plane of Earth. Each member of the Council maintains an identical presence of grass-green hair and earthen skin with veins of gold and turquoise. The Council is an extension of the plane itself. Thus, if one member is cut down another will shortly rise to take its place. The Council of Earth is the only power of the Planes of Order to have looked down upon the material realm with interest, but remain truly neutral in their dealings with the lesser pantheon

Prexus: God of the oceans, creator of the kedge, known as the -ocean lord-, ally to Rodcet
Nife, enemy of Bertoxxolous. Followers of Prexus believe that true power lies in the vast depths of Norrath's oceans. They believe that eons ago life first formed in the murky deep and that one day, the oceans will rise again to consume those who are unworthy and embrace the faithful. The Oceanlord's servants tend to live and work near, on, or beneath, large bodies of water. They seek to spread the word of Prexus to all who will hear and defend the oceans and seas of Norrath against any who would cause them harm. Many sailors and fishermen are followers of Prexus.

Solusek Ro: God of flame and conquest.
The Plane of Sun is ruled by Solusek Ro, the Burning Prince. His father, Fennin Ro is the Tyrant of Fire who rules the greater elemental Plane of Fire, from which the Plane of Sun derives its power. Solusek wears a suit of golden ringmail and a crown of flame and wields a spear of fire. He is allied with no one, enemies with no one. He has a friendly rivalry with Mithaniel Marr.

How ZP ties in with Arios the Battered and Rallos Zek:Arios the Battered is claiming to be an old Rallosian general (follower of Rallos Zek, God of War) and he wants you to right the betrayal of Sarek (once the head general of Rallosian Armies, he through a pact with many gods including the Rathe Council (rulers of Plane of Elemental Earth) betrayed his troops and Zek for Immortality and Demi-god hood. he sent half his troops to Envar to die, and half his troops he turned into constructs of fire and earth through geomancy.

He was a Geomancer by practice, but a Rogue through character. He stole many of the gods' treasures and was demoted from Demi-god hood, imprisoned in a fortress of his making; a land of everliving stone; Geomancer's Citadel. Arios has you systematically take out Sarek's sources of power through the 55-59qsts, until you finally kill Sarek himself.

Then Arios sends you to get your reward from Arcanablade Zerin (Arcanablade turns out to be a title, refering to an order of highly trained knights of the Zaoran order) who is actually sent to kill you because you know too much, you kill him and return to arios. Arios reveals to you that he's actually either Zaoran or a close relative, unsure which. He then ports you to a Rallosian Arbiter, which arbitrates your dispute, and tells you to kill arios/zaoran, so you solo him and get a reward, and GAIN Zaoran brotherhood faction (Zek) from the Zek weapon NPC - Lieutenant Kognar.
