11.7.4 Babel, God of Oblivion

Throughout history, hushed sects and secretive cabals have uttered terse 
caution about the Lord of the Unknowable Mysteries, an entity known thus 
as Babel, birthed by Ayar-now-Sarapis at the closing of the Chaos Wars 
millennia ago. Abandoned by His creator to stand an eternal vigil betwixt 
the cusp of Creation and Chaos, it is surmised that the Elder God took the
madness of the churning abyss within Himself, finding revelation where only
absence reigned supreme.

Babel speaks an ominous prophecy of inevitable doom over the peoples and 
worlds of Creation, proclaiming that the epochal moment of the Horror's 
coming provoked a relentless process of cosmic decline that has continued 
and will continue until the final moments of the Logosian artifice. Like a 
steel blade in a bath of acid, the very fabric of reality is slowly being
consumed by the advancing tide of Chaos, and all is returning to the original
state of undifferentiated nothingness.

Furthermore, declares the Lord of Oblivion, this is a process and a 
conclusion which all wise men and women ought to seek and desire with
earnestness. There is no greater state available to a mortal or immortal 
than to be perfectly nothing, to be perfectly one with an infinite void that
is also nothing, and to perfectly know and understand all things because all
things are nothing. This is the profane vision of the ineffable god of the 
outer reaches, and this is the great goal towards which He constantly strives. 

Woe to those who would deter Him, and woe to those who would share in His 
dire work, for the black eyes of Babel see nothing but that which is consumed 
and that which will be consumed before the consignment of existence to ruin
entire.
