Why did the Creator construct a universe teeming with imperfection, misery, and sin? Among the scholars of both Heaven and Hell, this query is known as “The Riddle of Sorrows.”
If sin is itself a part of the grand design, is not sin then, by definition, divine?
A question for the sages. One particularly restless bunch kept a robust relationship to the topic: the Nephilim. Spawn of Angels and Demons, warriors, relentless, unstoppable. Blood mad. Until they were betrayed by four of their own: War, Death, Fury, and Strife. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Inconceivable power was bestowed upon the traitors by those sworn to maintain symmetry betwixt Order and Chaos: the Charred Council. Bear witness as the Council holds court to end the Nephilim war in the name of balance. This is the new pact.
