There is a deeper Syndicate of Deities in Orbspace.

They are the ones who control the deep structures of how Orbspace works.

They only speak Sumerian to each other, but not to you.

They are extremely Xenophobic and conservative.

These are the Lost Gods, as they have no Home. They are the Wandering Elite that keeps to their own business to keep the World Engine functioning.

They are the "Meta" or the Engineers responsible for the Construction, maintenance, and development of the WorldEngine and the World the WorldEngine generates.

In New Akashmiran, there are beings known as "The Magic Lords."

These are People the size of Planets, who represent themselves as Robotic Versions of themselves styled beautifully to mingle with the Empire's Population.

These are a Faction of The Lost Gods, establishing, maintaining, and developing the Power of Magic as a Synthetic Force of Nature imposed Programmatically upon the Malleable Parts of the Fabric of Reality.
