Warlocks and otherarcane users say that Gibbeth shall show its face onlyat the end of the world, when the very glare of its eyesand the monstrous aspect of its being pushes all of creationinto inescapable madness. The scion of Gibbethis a terrible shard of that green star, a herald of Gibbeth'scurse and a forerunner of what might come.When the scion appears, no two observers can agreeon its actual appearance. Some see a green-skinned,horned giant, while others report a red, spiderlikecreature with a child's face or a serpentine monstrositywith dozens of gibbering mouths along its body. Sagesmaintain that this outer appearance is merely an aspectprojected by the shard that dwells within the scion.The mental strain of seeing even a shadow of Gibbeth'sessence is such that mortal minds must conjure knowable,though strange, images to contain it.
