And someone else found a reference, so I was wrong there.

Agsded and Luthe seem as near as gods as makes no difference. More exactly,
mages of their power could pass as gods, or inspire tales of gods. Even Harry
and Gonturan rearrange some mountains (possibly with Aerin's help.) And
they're not terribly mortal; they're thousands of years old. And Aerin's
mother is Agsded's sister, and was a student with them, so she's thousands of
years old as well. And as powerful.
