Origin[]
Trogool is an enigmatic entity situated at the Rim of the Worlds, described as neither god nor beast, and is known by many names across various lands. Silent and mysterious, Trogool sits behind the gods, endlessly turning the black and white pages of a colossal book entitled "The Scheme of Things". When turned, the black pages signify night, and the white pages denote day. This perpetual action continues until Trogool reaches the words "Mai Doon Izahn," meaning "The End Forever," at which point the gods and the worlds shall cease to exist.

Notes[]
- Trogool bears some similarities and may have served as the inspiration for Destiny of the Endless in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.
