Message: <blockquote data-quote="GrandArchon" data-source="post: 3610474" data-attributes="member: 52895">... and as the universe grew and the stars were cast against its edge, some of them did quiver, for in His haste Empyrean did not make them all of equal strength. Soon, one of them began to buckle beneath its own weight, unable to draw up the energy to throw out its enormous mass. It shook, blazed- then began to collapse. It collapsed, but rather than stop when it was at its densest, it continued to fall in upon itself, and the very fabric of the void was sundered.And from the unfathomable void came a Thing which no mind can comprehend, for It was great and terrible to behold. With reasoning alien and unknowable, It pulled the fabric of the universe around Itself, and pinched off all but a tiny whole, as to make Itself invisible unto god and mortal alike.And with one of Its terrible, alien eyes, It Watched. It Watched the universe in quiet contemplation, and from time to time It would adjust Its view, until at last Its horrible gaze fell upon the Jewels of Empyrean. Attracted by the mighty rumbling of Ilem Nth Sabbatur, It turned its attention to the World, and in doing so interposed Itself between the World and Empyrean. And all the thinking creatures of the World, noticing that Empyrean no longer shone, looked up.They should not have looked up.For in looking up they met the terrorizing gaze of a Being no thing could grasp in its mind, and looking upon Its shape did so agonize the mind and soul that they were blinded to reason. And the whole World screamed a single scream of fear and anguish.This, children, was the birth of Madness.Seeing this reaction, the Thing that Watched pinched closed the fabric of the univers, so as to make a little world for itself, and hid the pinch within a great Adament Sphere, which no god could break, and which spun around the World.</blockquote>
