PHARANAM
Long have the worlds stood apart. Long have you been lost from truth. Soon, the worlds become one, and you shall meet your maker as we have met ours.. -Solae Jhanil, Pharanam Epigone.
BACKGROUND
Long ago, a group of alienists gathered together and retreated into the depths of the earth. Whispers called to them, leading them to a place in the depths of the underdark, with promises of power and knowledge beyond imagining.
As they reach their destination they began to work, carving out a home around a hole in reality, sealed only by a large set of teeth.
A being had called to them, and in exchange for his blessings it asked to be let into reality. In time, this being became known as pharanam. It's aberrant servants entered the world; working, living, and breeding with it's alienist servants.
Pillars were carved out around the spiral, their locations mimicking the model of the planes, and a set of orbs were produced, each representing a different plane. As they prepared to bring pharanam into the world, a few among them stole the orbs and hid them away. Unable to continue, many searched franticly to retrieve the orbs, to no avail.
In time, the story of their origins and the orbs of the planes became legend and the whispers of pharanam became lost. Today, known as the pharin, many have turned to sealing in creatures of the far-realm within the maw-dark spiral rather than working to let them loose upon reality.

As you can see, theres a lot of work to do. If you have any ideas, better ways to express the language, so on, then please say so. I want to use this to tie together the pharin and the elder evil epigone, both being homebrews of mine. I also want to make an elder evil who's goal is basically to combine the planes together, which would certainly result in some interesting and unique encounter as the signs progress.
