Elders
The Elders are Fiends of Chaos, they were never human but gained the ability to interact with the world in a way we recognize as intelligent from humanity. Some Elders have power that can rival that of the Abidan Judges and just as the Abidan manipulate The Way the Elders are suspected of manipulation of Chaos.
Asylum is a prison for some of the more powerful Elders. It is believed that the Abidan originally intended to use Asylum as a temporary prison until the Elders had fully corrupted it. Then they would just get Ozriel to destroy it. Which wouldn't kill the Elders, but it would drive them back into the void. Then the Emperor came along, and humanity prospered beyond that which the Abidan predicted. The increase of the human population strengthened the worlds tether to the Way this helped Asylum avoid corruption much longer than anticipated.
The Elders each have a specific nature and they always act according to that nature. When the Elders were free they stayed out of each other's way, but while they were trapped on Asylum they occasionally come into contact and even conflict with each other, such as with Othaghor and Kthanikahr.
The 7 Great Elders imprisoned on Asylum are :
- Nakothi, The Dead Mother
- Othaghor, The Hordefather
- Kelarac, The Soul Collector
- Ach’magut, The Overseer
- Urg’naut, The Creeping Shadow
- Tharlos, The Formless Legion
- Kthanikahr, The Worm Lord
