Voidwrought
The makers and parasites that climb from the bottomless Pit. Rare, incomprehensible, and impossible to read, they defile nature and midwife new life in the same breath. No one knows what they want, and that is the worst of it.
The first thing that climbed out of the Pit and stayed, and the nearest the Voidwrought have to a will the world can point at. Ix'Thaal does not command so much as intend, and its intentions ripple outward through corrupted kings and quiet bargains. Whether it is a ruler, a hunger, or a door left standing open, none of the eight peoples can say.
