Known Information

The hated Vasiste is the source of all knowledge regarding the Entity. Vasiste was a revered member of the Al’Kash, guards of the Vargainen city-states. He had heroically battled Veilwalkers, elementals and had even slain an archon in single combat. This all changed when he found an artifact of the Entity that warped his mind, plaguing him with maddening visions. Shortly after, his body followed suit: eyes, tentacles, and other eldritch features warped and burst from his body. This process was all documented through the journals of his followers. The days before Vasiste was slain by Mendalla he received his most prophetic, insightful, and disjointed series of visions. During this time he would be struck with sudden bouts of intense fever, convulsions and, save for small fragments of speech, a total loss of control of his body. Vasiste’s closest disciples scribed these fragments of speech, and as the days went by their minds also began to warp. All of them took their own lives, and only the most mad of historians claim to have exact knowledge of what occurred the days preceding Vasiste’s demise. When these writings were first discovered, any who spent too much time deciphering the text met a similar fate to Vasiste’s disciples. Once sufficient information was gathered about the Entity, the journals were locked away. They are now guarded in a chamber within the Kolbarain, accessible only to the leaders of Kash’Allum and Munta’Saf. There are those who would whisper the true name of the Entity, yet their mortal lips fumble upon the alien sounds with faux understanding. Even more laughable and pathetic are those who pretend or have foolishly tricked themselves into believing that their feeble minds could understand the nature of it. That is the folly of those who entertain the notion that the Entity could be understood. The power and scale of the Entity is unknown, but what it is known is that it is unrelenting. That is the trouble with change - it does not end. The Entity is cancer incarnate. It is the changing of flesh, bone and sinew into bubbling masses of oily tendrils. Whatever this ever contorting primordial Entity is, it exists beyond the scope of the known world.

Chosen of the Entity

There are no Chosen of the entity, at least not in the same sense as the other gods. To follow the Entity is to be permanently transformed into a horrific monster. There is no evidence to support that such change is voluntary, reversible, or that it leaves any independence of any kind.
