Darkness

Darkness, also known as "The Taker" in Spheronian culture, "The Moon" and "Night" to certain peoples of Earth, "The Below", "The Destroyer" and "The Dark Side of The Great Gray" is an extremely powerful cosmic entity/force that has existed since the dawn of time. It is the over-arching antagonist of the Seasonverse, as well as several other stories written by Thundermoth. The Darkness is the antithetical counterpart to the Light, another ancient cosmic entity/force with which it has been at war ever since its creation. The Darkness, like the Light, is paracausal, meaning that it does not obey the rules of causality, but has its own physics by which it operates. As a result, both the Light and Darkness are generally poorly understood. Each represents half the aspects of the Great Gray, an endless gray cosmic soup that existed prior to the creation of the multiverse. As such, the Light represents all aspects of good, while the Darkness represents those of evil. As such, the Darkness is the most evil being to exist in the multiverse, being pure evil. In fact, the Darkness is so evil that many intelligent peoples, the Spheronians included, fear to speak its name for fear of corrupting themselves. The Darkness has, indirectly through various pawns, committed every single evil deed imaginable. It is implied that all villains within Thundermoth's multiverse are ultimately pawns of the Darkness, which amuses itself by destroying entire star systems, wiping out civilizations, and forcing intelligent beings to be cruel and heartless toward one another. However, as stated by the Light, the Darkness is not evil by choice. It is evil because that is its nature, because it is made of evil and it only knows how to be evil, just as the Light only knows how to be good. This means that the Darkness cannot be redeemed, just as the Light cannot be corrupted.
