Wakuld long ago travelled out beyond the world into the void beyond the dwellings of the Star People where there is no light. In the void he revelled in his own thoughts and experimented with unknown magics. He found a way to travel into the deep places where the Others dwell and there sought allies against his family. Amongst these allies were the poisoner (Elis Morg), the destroyer (Cormesht), the curse (Ilfathis) and the eater of thoughts.
Little is known of the last being except that it revelled amongst the peoples of the world stealing thoughts and drinking dreams. Those that worshipped and gave all of themselves were allowed to drink of the stolen thoughts and dreams of others gaining much lost knowledge but at the cost of some of their very essential selves. Some say that, like Cormesht the destroyer, the thought eater died in one of the Gods' Wars. Others however suggest that he has simply eaten the very idea of himself from the minds of most men so he cannot be found as he swallows up the wisdom of the ages in places we have forgotten.
