The Entities

An Unknown Entity

The Entities, also known as the Old Gods, the Old Ones and the Ancient Morts, are perhaps the first morts to appear in the Multiverse. These beings are hard to describe, with their vast age and unpredictable nature, many have since considered them the very first 'gods' and some even suggest that these beings could very well be considered 'gods of the gods of the gods of the gods' or 'gods of all the gods'

To the Cult of the Nine Arches, the Entities are the gods of the entire multiverse and all other religions and being are followers of the Entities at best or projections of the Entities at worse. And while the Entities known of their existence, they are entirely apathetic towards it with the Hunter being one of the few that regard it with utter amusement at the very concept of being worshipped by anything at all.

History

Origins

The exact origin of these Entities and how they first took form remains unknown, many believe these beings are vastly ancient that they could be one of the first ever to take form when the Universe or dimension they originated from was young, if it still exist. The Entities May have been corporal at first, or evolved in a unique path that differs from any other species until they developed sentience and consciousness to develop their own abilities. But according to Entities like the Record keeper, the Teacher, and the Storyteller, the Entities "birth", for lack of a better phrase, was incredibly violent and destruction, being more akin to a force of nature that devastated and destroyed whatever species and civilizations that could have built them, although their evidence remains loose, they have come to believe that the civilization and species, what the Record Keeper dubbed the Kaz'seiyan, a word from a long forgotten language that meant "Those who came before", that made them, albeit indirectly, had long before fell apart and collapsed due to a variety of unrelated events with their machines continuing a ancient conflict that had long since ended.

Multiversal Tournament

Most of the Entities were gathered together by The Gamemaker for the idea of a tournament after it had witnessed an an amazing battle between powerful fighters and decided to make another in the future for many fighters they know from various universes to compete against each other, but less destructive and controllable, most Entities did not seem interested but others like the The Recordkeeper and The Brawler were interested

List of Known Entities

Name of Mort	Embodied	Describe	Artist Representation
The Hunter	Death, Destruction, and Chaos	often appearing as a shadowy figure with a twisted smile on its face with small white dots for eyes, it also has the ability to possess people, but this often times leads to the individuals' slow death as the body starts to decay and rot away. It also is known to speak in a low, cold and seemingly happy tone with it having what seems to be like millions, if not billions of voices all speaking as one, at the same time, faint sounds of screams as well
The Planter	Life, Construction, and Order	often appearing as a white colored combination of a cloud and light being with a vague skeletal appearance to it. Despite its otherwise unnerving appearance, its' presence often makes one feel at peace and comfort, and in some case feel rejuvenated by its' presence. It often speaks in a deep, ambiguous but calming voice, similar to a parent would to a scared child.
The Casket Builder	Rot, Decay, and Ruin	often appearing as either a skeleton that's covered in a dark cloak or a pale, thin, almost skeleton like man in victorian era clothing, no matter the appearance, both carriers a Casket with them.

Many have noted it's eyes, which are often pure white in nature with no pupil or iris to speak of.
The Haunting Voice	Fear, Manipulation, and Cruelty	Often appearing as a little girl, that, as one gets closer to her, will tell that she had extremely pale skin with pitch black eyes and often dresses in a summer dress of some kind. perhaps the most horrific of this being is it's voice, a voice of an old man with it a near whisper with a cold and sadistic tone to it, a voice that doesn't belong to a body of a little girl.

The Mother	Motherhood, love, and compassion

List of Known "Heralds" of the Entities

There is some clarification by what it means to be a "Herald" of any of the Entities. Instead of a messager or prophet like those of the varies Nirn faiths, a Herald of the Entities is actually more akin to a very close and dear friend (or something akin to friendship for those of the more malevolent and sociopathic entities, like the Hunter, the Haunting Voice, or the Violator), in fact, the bonds between a Herald and an Entity is so strong that the Entities in question are often noted to be extraordinarily protective of and does everything they can to protect and save their Herald from any and all potential harm. Even if a Herald meets their end, the Entities would simply bring them back to existence in their own realms within the Plains of Rebirth so they can join the other heralds that came before before them.

Notes

• The Entities so far are essentially the gods of the entire multiverse or the closest thing to them, even then the Multiverse is implied to be older then the Entities if the fact that the Plains is older then them is any indication.
• The Entities are a combination of a Sentient Cosmic Force and the Personification of various aspect concepts and beliefs, some of which are so broad and extensive that not even the Entity in question knows what they all truly embody
• The Heralds aren't really religious in nature, not all of them, rather they're just a title given to them by beings over the eons, largely to explain why the Entities would associate themselves with "mortals" rather then it often being a case of genuine friendship between the "heralds" and the Entities.
• All the Entities have their own creations that's unique to them, and these creatures vary in terms of purposes, be it benevolent, apathetic or malevolent.
• All the Entities have various forms they take and appear as, though there is a form that can be considered their "true form" although this has never been seen by anyone, Morts or mortals, or never can be seen as its' incomprehensible, even for Morts, but the closest anyone seen of this "true form" are the forms they most often seen as, indicating that's likely the closest anyone can see of their true forms. They also tend to have a common second form that they take on when the Entity in question is especially enraged, whatever that might be, and this is often regarded as terrifying and nightmarish by all.
