Iraneuss

Iraneuss is a fictional entity appearing in the "Pathfinder" role-playing game setting. It is a primordial entity, often described as a cosmic horror, that predates the current known cosmology. Iraneuss is associated with the void and the concept of nothingness, representing a force that seeks to undo creation. Its nature is alien and incomprehensible to most mortal minds.

Details about Iraneuss are scarce and often contradictory, as befits a creature of such immense scale and antiquity. It is not typically depicted as a physical being with a defined form, but rather as an omnipresent, intangible influence or a creeping dread. Some lore suggests that Iraneuss is not a single entity but a collective consciousness or a fundamental aspect of the universe's deepest, darkest recesses.

The primary threat posed by Iraneuss is its desire to return everything to its original state of non-existence. This makes it an antagonist to gods, mortals, and all forms of life and order. While direct confrontation with Iraneuss is often impossible, its influence can manifest through corrupted creatures, maddening whispers, or unnatural voids that drain life and energy. Those who study or worship Iraneuss are often driven to madness or seek to hasten the end of all things. Its ultimate goals and true origins remain a mystery, fueling its role as a cosmic enigma within the Pathfinder lore.
