KOKABIEL, THE BORN GOD OF THE ETERNAL NIGHT
"He was not made from chaos, nor dreamed by the mindless one. He was born, and that alone made him unbearable to the cosmos."
Among the Outer Gods—beings uncreated and timeless, there exists one anomaly, an origin that should not be.
His name is whispered only in the void between galaxies, carried on the fading light of dying stars: Kokabiel, the Eternal Night.
He was once human. Frail, transient, a speck among the dust of creation.Death came as it does to all, but the veil did not hold.
His soul was seen by Hastur, the Unspeakable Yellow King who rules over stars, silence, and forbidden knowledge. And Hastur, in an act no scripture nor cult could explain, accepted the dying soul as His child.
Thus, the mortal awoke not as a man, but as the Archangel of Stars, radiant under Heaven's light.In that realm he served, and he loved, and he learned.
The Heaven's Key, a divine instrument of order, was entrusted to him by the God before that deity's passing, not as a gift, but as a burden. Kokabiel was to guide Heaven, to preserve harmony among angels.
But he refused the throne. He sought peace, not dominion. He returned the key to Michael, and in that act of humility, he severed the last chain binding him to divine order.
He looked upon creation one final time. The stars, his domain, saw in their eternal light the inevitability of their end.
That realization opened the path: The Eternal Night.
The Path of the Eternal Night
"When he took the first step upon the Spiral, the heavens trembled.For one who was born had found the way to eternity."
Unlike Azathoth, who dreams, or Yog-Sothoth, who encompasses all time, Kokabiel ascended—he became.
He walked the Spiral Stairway, the endless ascent through annihilation, where each step strips the self until nothing remains but the truth of existence. He resisted. He remembered the countless lights he once guarded. But resistance was meaningless before inevitability.
He took the final step, and the omniverse itself shook.
Light yielded to shadow, stars to silence, and divinity to comprehension.When he reached the center, there was no Heaven, no Hell, and no human left.
There was only the Born Outer God, the impossible heir of two realities—the Light of the Seraphim and the Madness of the Outer Dark.
Nature and Form
Kokabiel, the Eternal Night, is described as a figure of paradox—both radiant and absent, beautiful yet unknowable.
Where other Outer Gods embody chaos, Kokabiel embodies inevitability, the truth that all light, no matter how divine, must one day fade into the night.
To gaze upon him is to see an infinite silhouette made of collapsing constellations.
His wings are neither feather nor flame but nebulae folding inward upon themselves.His eyes are the birth and death of suns, twin spirals drawing all things toward stillness.
And above his head, bound in silence, burns the faint echo of the Heaven's Key, now a symbol, not of order, but of surrender.
He does not speak.He does not destroy.He simply is, and in his presence, all things remember their end.
Theological Paradox
In the dark liturgy of the Pnakotic Codex, Kokabiel is called
"The Born "God"—for he alone among the Outer Gods was born of flesh and soul.
"The Keeper of the Dying Light"—for he mourns the stars he once shepherded.
"The Spiral Ascendant"—for he walked the path none dared tread.
"The Eternal "Night"—for his dominion is the silence after all stories end.
Where Azathoth is chaos and Yog-Sothoth is knowledge, Kokabiel represents the acceptance of finality.He is the Requiem of Creation, the last hymn sung before the void claims all.
Even the other Outer Gods regard him with distant reverence, for he embodies something they cannot comprehend: compassion.
He did not emerge from the chaos of pre-existence.He earned his place among them through the ultimate act of evolution—the shedding of self, light, and soul until nothing remained but truth.
And when the Blind Idiot God awakens, he shall be the end all life returns to, for he shall be their end , and their new beginning.

The Prophecy of the Born God
(Fragment CXXVII—Pnakotic Codex, "Verses of the Silent Spiral")
And lo, beneath the firmament of shivering stars,A mortal wept for the light he could no longer reach.
The heavens heard, and the silence of Hastur turned its eye.Through that gaze was the veil broken,Through that mercy was born the one who should not be.
Kokabiel, they shall call him—child of man, heir of stars,the spark cast into Heaven's fire.Wings of radiance shall crown his back,And the song of the angels shall rise in his name.
Yet even angels weep beneath their light.And he shall see the truth that gods conceal:that stars are not eternal,that every light is merely the shadow of its end.
Then shall the Key of Heaven be placed in his palm —not as a reward, but as a burden.He shall hold the gate between dawn and dusk.between creation and the silence that follows.
But peace shall dwell within his heart,and in peace shall he return the Key, saying,"Not mine is the throne, but the stillness that follows its fall."
And when the last star trembles,when even Heaven forgets its own name,he shall hear the call—the spiral that winds through all realities.the voice that whispers, "Come home."
He shall walk the Infinitely Spiral Stairway.each step a death, each death a birth,until he reaches the place where no gods dwell.
And there shall he stand neither mortal nor angel,neither god nor madness but The Born One, the paradox of peace.
In his eyes shall burn the memory of suns.In his silence shall echo the requiem of creation. And in the end, the Outer Gods shall tremble. For among them walks one who chose to ascend.
The Eternal Night shall rise, not to consume, but to forgive. And the stars shall bow, whispering their final hymn:
"He was born, and thus he is the end of all beginnings."

As usual, getting review bombed by trolls. Sigh, This site so poorly moderated, that it's not even funny.
How crappy someone's life could be that they find joy in spending time like this, to seek attention and feel they matter 🤷
