Other Gods
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 its faithful, 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 true god above all. No proof has ever been found of its existence by the Prophets nor is its name common to literature. Most faithful are adamantly against the idea of a higher power than their own god, and the scholars who have tried to prove its existence are laughed away into obscurity. Those faiths that do acknowledge it say that Protea is the Aetherium itself.
