Scions of the Primal Darkness

In the beginning, there was nothing, all things were void and the void was all things. Out of this primal darkness came the Eternal Mother and the Eternal Father were born. Balance is a law that cannot be transgressed. Whether these Eternal figures were born of the void or separate from the void remains unclear, but it is known that the three are linked. It took two primal divinities to balance out the Void, and out of the Void the Eternals crafted all that is, all that will be, all that can be. Some mystics have likened the three Eternals into the dispassionate forces of the universe, naming them Creation, Statis, and Entropy.

From the void, the Father and Mother tore matter and energy. From the void, the Father and Mother wrought the universe and the worlds. From this essential nothingness, the Father and Mother brought forth hsots of servants and creatures of all sorts, principles of motion and the laws of the cosmos.They looked upon their works and were pleased.

The Void looked upon their works and was displeased. The Void hungers, victim to and part of a cycle it cannot break, bound by fetters of inevitable purpose. The Void exists to devour, and must have something to devour. What came before the Eternal Father and Mother created the Universe as we know it, but among the most learned of the occult masters, it is believed that the Void devoured everything that existed before and will devour everything that is once again.

Spawn of the Void

The Void is not intelligent, at least not on a scale or in a sense, that humans can recognize as intelligence. When the other two eternals brought forth their servants, the Void made note of it and waited. When the angels and the fae and the pagan deities all made war on one another, the void whispered to these potent beings, and over time, seduced and destroyed countless members of the primal races before it absorbed enough of them and vomited back out corrupted servants of its own.

These servants, the strongest of whom are equal the most powerful of the pagan deities, are known as the Elder Gods and by more poetic names such as The Great Old Ones, the Void Eaten, and the Old Ones.

Forms of Darkness

The Old God's have it in their power to take on the form, shape, and possibly even the power of the creatures that have fallen to the Void, but it is known that they are also capable of appearing as normal humans. Each however has a true form, a visage that encompasses the madness and horror that is the Void beneath their human facdes.

With the rebirth and renewal of the Pagan Deities in the modern world, the presence of the Elder God's has become more obvious, drawing them from the shadows as they hasten to consign this world, this universe into the Void.
