Devil of the Mist
The devil of the mist is an enigmatic creature, bound to Adatia by the creators. Occasionally a circular stairwell would appear in the forest. In the black steps a sentence is engraved. “Join and fulfil your heart’s desire.” If anyone ascends the stairwell a thick mist will engulf them, until they emerge onto a cloud. A simple tea set is set out and, after a short discussion the devil makes its offer. He will fill the heart’s desire of whomever has joined him, but if they ever want to revert it, he will claim their soul. Many take him up on his offer, and he is true to his word, but in its fulfilment most are brought to despair, eventually offering their soul to him.

Personal history
Show spoiler
In a place where gods were never born, and far before the multiverse was even a concept there were other places. Beyond what would become the astral sea, and passed what mortals whisper of as the far realms, a place where neither chaos, order, logic nor even emotion had any meaning, there were bastions of existence. In one of these bastions the civilization of Xerak emerged. From nothing they built a future for themselves, and prospered. They conquered nothingness, mortality and doubt. Even in their seemingly limitless power, they chose to continue onto the next leg of their journey. One of them chose not to follow though. He began wandering the far realms, forgetting his name, his purpose, and his origins. In his wanderings he found a light. For the first time he felt warmth. Diving into that warmth he found the first gods nurturing the budding multiverse. He remained at the edge and slowly he began to remember. He remembered his friends, his family, his race disappear into the void, so certain of their journey. They had tried to convince him to join them, but, even though he could no longer remember what they had told him, he could not be convinced. What was the purpose for it all? Why were they here? Why were they not here? Why was he alone? Why should he not be alone?
So many questions filled him, until the gods of the multiverse created the first material planes. He watched with burning curiosity as mortal races sprang forth, filling the worlds with life… and death. He could watch them, and he could learn. With time he would learn what his brethren had known. Occasionally he would play with the mortals, and he would discover why.
