ahelid

Ahelid is a fictional entity appearing in the speculative fiction works of author K.J. Parker. These beings are depicted as ancient, powerful, and enigmatic entities that exist outside of conventional time and space. Their exact nature and motivations are often left deliberately ambiguous, contributing to their mysterious aura. Ahelid are generally portrayed as possessing immense knowledge and abilities, capable of manipulating reality and influencing events on a cosmic scale. They are not typically characterized as benevolent or malevolent in a human sense, but rather operate according to their own unfathomable purposes. Interactions with Ahelid in Parker's stories often involve characters seeking their wisdom or inadvertently becoming entangled in their grand designs. The concept of Ahelid serves as a narrative device to explore themes of fate, destiny, and the limits of mortal understanding when confronted with forces beyond comprehension. Their presence adds a layer of cosmic horror and philosophical inquiry to the settings in which they appear.
