The Nine
Bug

The Bound One

-
Before the time of mortals, even before the gods, the Primordials created reality, the universe, and matter. The Primordials represent chaotic, incomprehensible, vague concepts and aspects of reality and the immaterium. When the still young gods finally grew strong and saw the endless possibilities of the universe, they became greedy, jealous, and filled with fear, sparking an unrelenting, endless, brutal war for supremacy. Eventually, the gods decided to pour all their negative emotions and destructive aspects into one being, a vessel. The son of “She Who Weeps” and the “Burning Judge,” young, strong, full of potential, became the weapon that turned the tide of the war. The gods ultimately won, but they were too weak to kill their creation. Instead, they wounded and bound him. To this day, the Bound God sleeps in chains, in agony, full of hatred, eternally struggling, ever ready to break his bonds and annihilate the universe.
