Nihilos

Nihilos, the Night-Father

   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 Stranger is Absentia. The Stranger is Absenth itself.

Faith

Of all the gods, Nihilos is the only one that speaks in words, for its conscious is all-knowing within the void of Absentia, a plane of infinite nothing where time flows infinitely without perceptible moments. It speaks to others as if they were its children, that all belong as a part of 'it'. Many faiths see Nihilos as the being that will one day bring about the end of everything; as one example, the Nedes see him as a great wolf that will bring about Ragnarok. Nihilos speaks mainly to the Absentia Magi and Exodii that surround themselves in its essence.

The Endless

The Endless are demigods born of Nihilos, collectively seeking the power to collapse the planes into Absentia.
