The Dark Mother

The Evil Maternal, the Source of Beasts, the Vortex of Evolution…

For centuries, humanity had given the Dark Mother many names, but to the entire world the most dangerous was none other than the Dark Mother.

When the Dark Ages ended hundreds of years ago, the Three Kings chased it to the northern tundra. It wandered in the dark world, reappearing every now and then, leaving behind mutated organisms in its path.

It did not even have a shape that people could fully describe. It was difficult for mankind to specify what it really was, so it had never been completely destroyed, but had regenerated instead.

It was like a virus in nature. One could sense its presence by seeing the ruined environment, but could never truly touch it. In many descriptions it was depicted as a writhing ring.
