The Primordial Source · Made, Unmade, Remade
The Cauldron
Made, unmade, remade.
Before the High Fae, before man, there was a Cauldron — and the world was poured out of it.
A bottomless bowl of black iron that Made everything and can unmake it just as easily. Womb of Prythian and its worst weapon, same vessel. It does not care which.
