Summary of Eekeb Vandorack's notes found in his Feywild quarters

About the 3 Witch Queens - Emtariath, Sili and Toruja

• There were once more but only 3 are now known to modern warlocks

They could step freely between planes & dimensions and could phase in and out existence - conjecture that they go the timevoid/chaos - the space between spaces Their power eventually exceeded the combined strength of their patrons and ascended into the celestial hierarchy- they were not gods but had entered the mythos of the world as celestial beings Were seeking to ascend to godhood by taking the divine spark from the slumbering Elder Goddess of Magic & Mystery - Hecate Eekeb was working through the exact pattern of protective circles and spell weaves required that the witches were in the middle of when the plane/place that contained the slumbering Hecate slipped and moved away from the place/s? they were performing the ascension rites. They were so too entangled with the being of Hecate that they were unable to free themselves before they were split into "shadow selves". The patterns Eekeb presumes were used were series of interconnected protective circles that channelled huge amounts of energy and space-time from Hecate to the witches in a variety of non-direct routes Eekeb speculates that there were were 6 fully encapsulated protective circles at the edge of the spell weaving, of which the witches occupied 3 of the spaces As a result the Witches were split across multiple planes of existence and possibly the timevoid also creating a vast number of "shadow selves". This is why they rarely appear, as it is a huge effort to line up and assemble enough of their shadow selves to become "real" enough to interact in some way with others If they had of stolen the divine spark from Hecate they would have had the power of gods and been able to walk the mortal world. The Elder Gods however are far more closely linked to the prime plane than the modern gods who are tied into the outer planes Eekeb speculates that the Witches have become active recently as the plane/place containing Hecate is moving closer to the world again

Speculation about the planes and gods

The Elder Gods are locked away in the timevoid, within the quanti or closed off dimensions, victims of distant discontinuances, wars and time They are "closely locked" to the earlier multiverse, the lower planes especially and find it very difficult to fully leave the places that are still in the same ‘form’ as existence as when they first came into being The Elder Gods however are far more closely linked to the prime plane than the modern gods The planes are under tremendous pressure to "slip" and will be shown by a rearrangement of the stars and new north and south stars Elder Gods will be released and be free to interact fully with the prime planes once more It is always more difficult to descend than it is to rise - it is extremely difficult for the creatures of the outer planes to return to the lower planes; inherently they are unstable It is difficult to maintain personal integrity the lower one descends Mortals can ascend the ladder of the higher planes, but struggle to endure for long - it is difficult to maintain a sense of self the higher one ascends The planes are not simply laid out as per the great cosmological wheel - it is infinitely complex and includes a multitude of planes “like glass spheres” that press and push against each other, and with the changing and alignment of stars alters their relationship to others The local clusters slip and push against each other; remaining static due to the pressure; ‘slipping’ and rearranging periodically Rearrangement closes old connection and creates new ones, both in the mortal plane and the other planes, it is one of the many causes of planar discontinuities Modern gods can no longer enter the prime plane in any meaningful way. They can send avatars or directly communicate with their followers but even these methods make them extremely vulnerable to others Modern gods are the product of millions of years of regeneration, fusing, divine birth & rebirth and spontaneous creation. The bones of fallen modern gods litter the multiverse, slowing returning to the quanti, their divine spark either absorbed by another god, held onto by powerful beings, set free to reform or regenerate as a new god Does not know of the existence "ever" of fallen elder gods

Speculation about the elder god Yurlunggur

Was known as ‘the Czar of Transpiration and Dissonant Vision’ Transpiration = the action of Transpiring Transpiring = to escape through pores/openings; to be revealed or become known There were once more; one and the same Yurlunggur but more; now there is just the one Yurlunggur spends all existence seeking and calling out across the void and all existence for it’s lost selves Did the lost selves find Illimitable Equivalence and cross the threshold? Depicted as a blind serpent whose planet spanning body blackens the night sky where it touches this plane from the Great Beyond as it continues on its eternal journey, unknowable to most mortals Yurlunggur is a truly ancient Elder God, existing at the very fringes of existence, Yurlunggur passes through the void of the Great Beyond, distant from all things, existing purely within its own dream state, almost entirely unaware of the multiverse about it. Can Yurlunggur pierce the threshold Yurlunggur is a bringer of creative destruction, a bringer of vision of what is, what was, what may have been and what may be Yurlunggur is a force of the cosmos; cannot be reasoned with, cannot be communicated with; but whose wake changes the shape and underpinnings of existence ‘Avatars’ of Yurlunggur have made their way to distant worlds in time past; the Avatars are parts of itself that it splits off to go search more easily among the ‘real’ worlds for its other selves There have been so many and Yurlungger’s ‘thinking’ is so nonlinear that it does not even know how many it has propagated over the years or what has become of them. Most Avatars simply disintegrate back into the quanti, waiting to be reabsorbed by the Elder God. A very few become truly self aware, becoming creatures of significant power in their own right One Avatar is Wonambi, who is the powerful creature that propels the power of the Dark Heart of the Forest. The powerful Wonambi wants nothing more than to use the power of the Echoes to control the prime plane which it views as an endless supply of food and power to eventually rise and challenge the other Elder Gods Nahautl, Jamaran, The Grootslang, the Devourer, Dendar the Night Serpent are/were Avatars The Cariden made contact with Yurlunggur millenium ago - not sure if that occurred before or after the war that lead to their fall
