Fiction:Mae'r Lleill

The Mae'r Lleill, known simply as the Others to the mortal world, are cosmic entities whose origins, goals, and motivations are completely unknown. Each of the Great Spirits, as they are called by their followers, are relatively independent of one another, with their own personalities, servants, and loyalties. Many, in fact, hate each other and consistently compete. It is the Others who created the sinister book of dark science, the Fheadhainn. Most of the Others were trapped in other dimensions, or in some cases in between them, and the book is the only way to bring them back. Multiple copies exist, but due to the ferocity with which the servants of the Great Spirits pursue them, most owners of such copies end up quickly killed. With almost all Great Spirits sealed away or dormant, their threat level tot he rest of the galaxy is relatively unknown. While most seem to have no desire to invade, others are extremely hostile and revel in the destruction they cause. But only time will tell the true meaning and purpose of the Mae'r Lleill.
