One of them died trying to enter our material planes, creating the plane of Limbo. I didn't WANT to terrify that young wizard, but these things are to the elder evils, like the Wandering Dead Planet or the All Devourer, what the elder evils are to most gods. They probably could obliterate us in a heartbeat if they wanted, but I get the feeling they are like a young wizard with a magic project, utterly fascinated with it, and trying to keep it going to see what it does next.<br/><br/>And what they requested from me, it is because the information I asked for could come from other sources, but they are the fastest, but the taint I will get will be annoying and likely painful to deal with. They made me and seven others gods. I killed two of them, and have a third in my fold, the problem is the other four are seemingly together. I CAN'T ask for what she is doing now, the information would likely require me to kill a plane and all its inhabitants to get it. Just getting what she had been trying to do may require me to kill something that existed likely at the time our planes formed."
