The Four

The Living Four: the four 'younger' elders- no older than life itself.

The Survivor
That Which Survives

Older than the dead gods of the Glass City, The Elders exist without the worship of humans. That Which Survives is the essence of endurance and perseverance. This archdemon is what taught the first tribe the art of survival, just as the Pale Shepherd taught adaptation.

The Shepherd
The Pale Shepherd

Progress is an illusion. There is only change. Progress is a story we tell ourselves to keep ourselves sane. The walking worms shrouded in the pale cloak leads the midwives that tear change- stillborn- into the world.

The Sleeper
The Sleeping Beast

There are secrets, sleeping, in the deep. There are pieces of knowledge that torture the mind. Progress drives us beyond our safe illusions. The Bonelands shatter the mind, and the Sleeping Beast is an elder who opens the eye to the Bonelands.

The Primal
The Primal One

Life is an aberration. An anomaly in the vast cold blackness of an expanding universe, life is a tiny flickering light. The Primal One is the candle that feeds that hollow light in the darkness.
