Lore
An incredibly powerful existence with the goal of altering or killing all non-aberrant life. Long ago banished by a minor deity, demi-god Thrain, to one of Selune's many tears. Unable to get back to Abier-Toril, its frustration grows. However, it is not helpless. Once a year, at the tears closest point to Abier-Toril, it influences the world, without fail. Working remotely, it hopes to bring itself back to the world, however tedious it might be, to complete its life's purpose. Today, little is commonly known of it, but its yearly progress affirmation always raises questions.

Appearance
Tall, boney exo-plating, sunken eyes, prehensile tendrils extending from back of shoulders, twisted antlers,
