Spindle

The Spindle is a magical super-consciousness created by Xarxu. It is responsible for the warlock pacts of Theron Cygnus, Hiccup, Clicker, Lannora Bespir, and presumably other individuals located in the world through the Seeker Network.
==Description==
===Appearance===
The Spindle appears as a massive, multicolored, twisted pillar of unknown material stretching into the heavens. It is unknown what it looks like up close, what its base looks like or if it even has one, as it's only been viewed from afar.
===Personality===
The Spindle maintains a complex relationship to those that it speaks to, that being the Seekers that it chooses. It generally transmits some alien language into a seeker's mind and they naturally translate the text aloud through a method even they don't understand or recall. In times where the Spindle has spoken directly to a seeker, as was the case with Theron Cygnus and Hiccup, it spoke in a telepathic mode of speech that constantly melded into other tones, dialects, and entire voices each second, yet remaining clear and audible consistently.
==Biography==
===Before the Final Days of the Fifth Age===
It can be presumed that the Spindle was born sometime before the campaign, most likely long before, given the implied age of Xarxu, who created the Spindle.
===The Final Days of the Fifth Age===
The Spindle came into the campaign's picture through Theron Cygnus, the latter of which shares a largely involuntary and uneasy bond with the being, who has tasked Theron with various strange objectives that seem to be pushing him towards some grand 'truth.' Lannora Bespir has expressed that she belongs to a similar pact with the same being, and has displayed powers that are in line with such a pact. Hiccup, during the course of the story, also voluntarily entered a pact with the being, showing that it is possible to take up the mantle of the pact oneself, as opposed to being strictly chosen.
Since meeting the Spindle, its goals and aims only seem more confusing. It appears to have Xarxu's interests in mind, but also seems to act independently of him, and doesn't appear to have an overwhelming directive to use the Seeker Network to destroy the Eight, as one might expect from a creation of the god.
==Relationships==
===Hiccup===
Hiccup, through means available to him, formed a pact with the Spindle, and begun a tasking for it. He has since displayed the knowledge and use of warlock powers associated with the pact.
===Theron Cygnus===
Theron Cygnus was the original character with ties to the Spindle, and as of the campaign is still unsure about the being, its intentions, or how he personally feels about it. He has spent a deal of personal time attempting to uncover what it is the being wants and is while performing taskings for it. Theron has expressed that the being saved his life at a critical moment during the mutiny of the ship he grew up upon where his adoptive father Grayyad Cygnus was killed by Suresh Scypia, prompting Theron's quest for revenge.
=== Lannora Bespir ===
It is unknown the extent to which Lannora Bespir is connected to the Spindle, only that she shares a pact with it similar to those seen by other characters, and can use similar powers granted to them. Lannora has claimed to know more about the Spindle (whose name was not known at the time), than Theron, and used that as a bargaining chip in Spireport.
=== Clicker ===
Hiccup's late brother, Clicker possessed the powers and pact granted by the Spindle after being forcefully pulled into the pact following a routine expedition he had been undertaking, marooning Clicker and damning him to a wretched fate, prompting Clicker to largely reject the 'gift' and set out on a personal quest to find and confront the being, seemingly to discover their nature and why they pulled him into such an arrangement. Clicker was turned into a Heart of Glass in the Mountains during his quest, believing there was a way through the hostile plane to wherever the Spindle was located.
In the second timeline the Sanguine Saviors visited, Clicker was also apparently a seeker, but died in Algoth before this could be directly confirmed.
