Message: <blockquote data-quote="Idabrius" data-source="post: 4275196" data-attributes="member: 67832">Perhaps equal in legend and myth with the fear attributed to the Old Ones that the giants slew or imprisoned are the Elemental Horrors that both giants and dragons fought during their early days. When the Sons of Mile, that abandoned elf-kingdom of sorcerers and binders, wrote of the pacts they signed in their secret language, they spoke of three great classes of beings.There were the Jandain, the things from the Upper World, the Old Ones (what we now call the Lords Below) who came from the Middle World, and the Horrors that came from a land that we believe underlies even the Duat. The Jandain are capricious and sometimes cruel, the Old Ones unfathomable and eternal, and the Horrors filled with blind rage at the impureness of the Middle Kingdom.For myself, I believe that the elemental horrors hate one another almost as much (but not quite) as they hate the mortal realm. They can only conceive of one given thing at a time, that is their own substance. Anything that is not made of the same stuff is to them an alien threat that must be destroyed if the universe is to be made safe. When they lived here, they built ephemeral cities that gigantine accounts describe as ‘vanishing into the dust’ the moment their masters were slain. Perhaps they used the middle world as a battleground for their feuds. Perhaps they hated it enough that each of them tried to alter it to suit him(it?)self. Whatever the case, they still lurk below, waiting for a time to strike. We must be wary. They, like all other evils in this world, have their servants.</blockquote>
