Eternals

The term Eternals describes beings who exceed the Abyssal Ones. If an Abyssal seasons long enough, it might become an Eternal one. Explicitly named are "The Shadow", also called Messire or “The Lord Of The East” (c45), “The One-horned” (c36) and one other unnamed, apparently too frightening to spell the name of it. Later on the Vanguards mention a fourth one in the appearance of someone a decade old most likely Eliah (c64).
There also could be a connection to the old beliefs and gods of the vanished population once living in the Nexus.
The old names are as follows:
*Umbra Deus, the "Shadow God” → Messire
*Corniger Virgo, the "Horned Virgin" →Priscilla "The One Horned"
*Ridenti Virgo, the "Smiling Maiden" → Teresa of the Faint Smile
*Et Angelus Desperatio, the "Angel of Despair" → The Destroyer
*Tenebris Puer, the "Dark Child” → Eliah
