SpoilerI'm posting this now because it's not going to interfere with whatever Kaitostrike's going to post. I might post something about what the conspicuously-absent Vexmagog has been doing this whole time when he should be, I dunno, making the people fighting see each other as escape pods which they are breaking or something. I'll do it after Kaitostrike claims his reserve, though.

In time before time, form unborn crashed against itself, shattered, self-consumed, and changed in nothingness. The rules for this were writ plain on an empty page. Each crash, a new rule. Each crash, a heartbeat. Unborn formless unnamed was named, and that name was Chaos.

Chaos, too, self-consumed and wrote itself onto the page in the language of black. The scrawled black shaped itself as surely as it shaped the whiteness around it, and Chaos knew the rule-abhorrer was likewise the rule-former. Self-abhorrence was the natural result, and the unborn formless named clawed and lashed until the clash of Chaos against Chaos was, itself, a new-birthed rule, and time was born to measure it.

Time passed and new rules were born and many things made and unmade in accordance with them. Unborn formless named was born and given form, and the name changed. Bound by the rules that had birthed during the self-abhorrence, it was forced into a nothing-like sleep.

For a time, Magog dreamt.
