Morgases

Morgases are a fictional species appearing in the fantasy novel "The Kingkiller Chronicle" by Patrick Rothfuss. Within the narrative, they are described as immensely powerful, ancient beings who predate humanity and the current gods. Their origins are largely mysterious, but they are known to inhabit a realm separate from the physical world, often referred to as the "Otherworld" or the "Underthing."

Physically, Morgases are rarely encountered directly and are often depicted as entities of immense power rather than having a defined physical form that can be easily described. They are associated with profound magical abilities and a deep understanding of the fundamental forces of the world. Their motivations and goals are complex and often alien to mortal comprehension, leading to them being viewed with a mixture of awe and fear.

The Morgases are not typically portrayed as actively malevolent in a simple sense, but their actions and decisions can have devastating consequences for the mortal world. They possess a long-term perspective that transcends human lifespans and concerns. Interaction with Morgases is extremely rare and often carries significant risks. They are central figures in the cosmology of "The Kingkiller Chronicle," representing a powerful, ancient force that influences the world in subtle yet profound ways.
