The Forbidden Architect: "Whispers say that a long time ago, the Court swayed a famed architect of the First Dreamers to their side. Perhaps they offered them something only the Great Ones can provide, perhaps they tortured them until they gave in, perhaps they simply controlled their mind directly. It doesn't matter. It is known that a being quite similar in its signs to this whispered lost prodigy is building something in a remote realm, far out of sight. But why? Why would the Court, supposedly omnipotent, need anyone to do their bidding? Why couldn't they simply will whatever they desire into reality, as they did with the realms themselves?"
