Elders

The Elders, occasionally referred to as the Founders of the Powers That Be, are a group of powerful Whitelighters who advise and watch over the forces of good. Their purpose is to preserve the "greater good" by directing their Whitelighters to guide and protect witches and future Whitelighters.

The Elders reside in The Heavens and often communicate with their whitelighters and witches by sending them messages, or signs of warning. As beings of good, the Elders also intervene when they seem it necessary and discipline others when they break their rules.

Although they are powerful, they are not the highest authority. They are outranked by the Angel of Destiny, the Angel of Death, and possibly many others. It is unknown if they have an authority that they listen to.

Creation of Whitelighters
The Elders began to plan the creation of a race of magical beings that would eventually be called "Whitelighters". Their initial intentions were to make Whitelighters avenging angels, warriors on the side of good fighting against evil. To aid them in this task, the Elders asked a magical blacksmith to produce a weapon for these warriors.

However, some Elders thought that the Whitelighters should mere guides to the good magical beings. After a heated discussion that nearly tore the Heavens apart, the faction which sought to make Whitelighters peaceful guides carried the day, and the weapon created by the blade-smith was hidden away.

Rules
The Elders live by a set of Rules that they enforce on all there whitelighters, and anyone working for them. If you break a rule, you will have to suffer the consequences.
