Great Old Ones
A Great Old one is a mythical, and unique progenitor being of the cosmos. Discovered via interrogation of Illithids during The Illithid Invasion, they came from The Space Outside Reality, and began The Circle. Each of them is unimaginably powerful. They were once believed to be infinitely powerful, undefeatable in every way. This was until The Great Old One Goh’zul, was defeated and their everlasting reign ended.
According to the interrogated Illithids and Zolaen Scripture, Zol itself supposedly resides within the dead body of Goh’zul. This aligns well with the lore behind The Watcher, so it is widely accepted by many. However this evidence is only based on these interrogations and the word of the clergy.
The Great Old Ones are:
- Goh’zul, The Abyss, the dead being in which Zol resides
- Xerc, The Contemplative
- Heit, The Calm
- Haesm’tarr, The Destructive
- Oben, The Incomprehensible
- Lith, The Thief
- None, The Hateful
They reigned over The Cosmos for all of time, until the defeat of Goh’zul, and the breaking of The Circle.
