Aberration

The myth of the Creation Of The World recounts how the Seven sprang from the raw Aether, and everything else followed directly from them. However, there are some who postulate, that perhaps other beings have been birthed of the Aether without the direct influence of the Seven, and even, heretically, that some things were perhaps always there, even before the Seven arrived.

Whether one believes that there are beings older than the Seven, most knowledgable scholars agree that there are some beings that defy conventional categorization. These creatures are referred to as aberrations, and while some believe that they are types of Deva, it is generally agreed upon that they fall outside the normal range of classification.

"The Old Man of the Forest" haunts Farnstall Forest in Morogar, and descriptions of this entity defy any understanding of the creatures of Sildair.
