Description: When the light of creation washed over that which became the world, three divine beings and none else arose from its radiance. The Star That Never Was figured not among those, for he never rose. Like his portfolio that could not at that time be, he was a stillbirth. But a dead god is a god nonetheless, despite being very much not and never having one been. It has power not entirely unlike its kin and holds all the same boundless capabilities, it can create. It is a deity.

But it should not be. Not in the state it is in or at all, perhaps, in some manner, it should not be in the world as it is, for it is a world of life and the living, and it is dead but still recipient of urges and desires and grievances. It exists in an unexpected and unconfortable state, if not to itself then to others, and if not to others then to itself. But only if those others are not unto itself. Thus must they die and share in his lot.

The neverborn knew all of that with his first thought, for it should have been a god and had an understanding of why that was not so. What ungod it is, however, it similar enough to a god that the differences are metaphyscal at most and rethorical in all the manners that truly matter.

The Principle of Endings appears as a great blackness that no light may illuminate, for it consumes all light and reflects none, and in the great cold darkness it embodies, the manner in which its presence warps the light of other gods is the singular way it can be seen, for where its tendrils extend they go as black stalks in the similarly black, dragging a hole across existance like a great weight.
