The first to appear is the strongest of the four, a god clad in simple robes, a being of intellect and wisdom. Magnus, already ancient from the time of his creation, sees the potential in the barren world beneath him. All that inhabits the plane are simple plants and animals, carrying out a life without sentience nor purpose beyond mere survival. Yet, Magnus is not the only being to enter Balmortis, as his three brothers follow soon after. The twins appear, enormous and demented idiot-gods, born without sight nor hearing. With no senses to guide them, Lore and Taure swing their limbs wildly as they move across the plane, fueled by an insane desire to punish creation itself for their defects. After Lore and Taure comes the stillborn child, Qurat, doomed to a life of non-existence, a life where the infant god is constantly reborn through a mortal female only to die at birth. Unlike Magnus who has a greater plan for creation, Lore, Taure and Qurat are mere powers of destruction, incapable of harboring a desire for anything besides death and mayhem. "I see them now"The seer shuddered. Around him stood the gathered Timeless Council, eager to hear the prophecies. The seer had been a great boon them before, he had helped them remember their past and to prepare for the future. Yet something was unnerving him. "What is it Iskar.. what do you see?" stuttered Golgi, one of the elders of the council."They hate.. that is all that they do, all they can sense is when they extinguish life.. there's.. three of them, two of them traveling across the stars in a rampage fueled by a hatred for all living things.."The goblins muttered amongst themselves. When they had asked Iskar to venture even further back in the past, this is not what they had expected."I see them clearly now, blind.. foaming around the mouth, bigger and more powerful than anything else.. but do not worship them.. I beg of you, if you worship them it will only draw their attention" continued Iskar.Some of the younger members of the council left the cave in disdain, muttering something about how the insanity of the brothers of whom Iskar spoke was no match for the insanity of Iskar himself. Still, the blind seer continued his tale."And I see the last of the three world eaters. He doesn't exist.. he walks behind the planes, an unborn child. I see him getting born, an unholy, bleak and shriveled child, dead at birth. No one mourns him, no one even cares enough for him to name him, and he returns to his state of unliving. This is his cycle, constantly being born dead, to see a faint glimpse of the splendors of life, only to be denied them again for hundreds of years. He harbors the same hatred as his brothers, a hatred so deep that no amount of destruction or revenge can quench it. We must fear them.. never worship them, never utter their name"The goblins of the Timeless Council looked petrified by the visions of Iskar. Perhaps there was a reason why mortals should not look beyond the mist of time.</blockquote>
