Nihilos, The Night-Father

   Nihilos: Many cultures share the aeons-old mythos of the sky fading to a world of pitch black, the light of Aarda snuffed out for seven days as a being of the infinite nothing descended from the Aetherium. Referred to as 'Nihilos' or 'The Stranger' by those who are aware of its existence, and the 'Night Father' by the fae, it attempted to devour the Godheads all at once before it fell into their dream and became an infinite plane of its own timeless being. The Night-Father is Absentia. The Night-Father is Absenth itself.

Protea, the God-Dream

   Protea: Protea is the hypothetical God of the Aetherium, dreamer of the Godheads and therefore the first being. No proof has ever been found of its existence by the Prophets nor is its name common to literature. Most faithful are reluctant to say there is a higher power than their god, and the scholars who have tried to prove its existence are laughed away into obscurity. Those who have a philosophy on the matter often say that Protea is the Aetherium itself, a living dream of dreams within dreams, and that there may be other dream-systems out there.
