And as yet another edit today, I modified the explanation on how I see the development Elder lore to something hopefully more approachable and less biased:

> It _appears_, to me, that the official lore writing introduced Elders as kind of superheros / living gods in The Empyrean Age, but now considers making them overpowered a mistake. Since then, the lore has been re-written to 1) a purely spiritual pantheon of seven Elder spirits, 2) a kind of generational circle of priesthood _and_ 3) a shady, possibly current government affiliated, conspiracy circle called “The Elder Network”. How these “Elders” interact is not revealed - the Network might or might not have something to do with the living Elders themselves, and might nor might not be a surviving remnant of the Minmatar government before the invasion. However, references to mystical powers and deification still persist in ‘The Elders’, which poses difficulties for interpretation, considering that EVE Source is possibly supposed to overwrite it but it is behind paywall.
