It is told, in the way old things are told and retold, that there was once an Infinite Lifeform called Vorruun the Hollow, who carried within him a hunger that no quantity of Infinity could fill.
He was named the Hollow not because he lacked power but because power poured into him and found no bottom to settle against. He had touched Infinity and not gone mad in the ordinary way that many Infinite Lifeforms went mad, with the glazed eyes and the shouted claims of supremacy.
His madness was quieter and therefore worse. He had concluded that the emptiness inside him was a thing Existence owed him the means to fill, and he had decided what those means were.
Young Source Lifeforms.
The newly emerged ones, the ones whose Pure Primordial Essence still ran undiluted within them, untouched by the long accumulations that came later.
