Dax

“Time may be defined as 'dimension governed by activity.' Dimension diminishes with inactivity; so does the value of time.”
-Dax 
== History ==
Dax was a powerful and mysterious entity who ruled an alien planet populated by monstrous life forms. He also possessed a vast void-faring craft, and had the ability to manifest physically on the Prime Material Plane, despite the Shield. His servants, the Paradax, acted as observers, but would also launch seemingly random attacks. His servants also demonstrated an ability to possess mortals. His motives were unknown, but he seemed to be determined to destroy the Shield. Nonetheless, his attacks did not stop when the Shield was destroyed, throwing the earlier claim into doubt. One of his Paradax servants occupied the position of Hand of Fate, leading to a possible conclusion that he was in some way or another committed to upholding the law of causality. 
Long after Dax's reign of terror, it would be discovered that the Great Old One was enduring a rebellion in his home world. He and his servants, who had the power to slip through the Shield, were granting power to unwitting mortals, so that they might be used as soldiers in his war. 
== Personality ==
The Great Old One of observation, outsiders, dimensions, and alternate physical realities. He manifested on the Prime Material Plane as a large humanoid entity, similar in appearance to his Paradax yet shrouded in an impenetrable black cloak. He appeared impervious to harm, and projected a cold, unresponsive, and inscrutable manner. Despite his seeming invincibility, Tolumvire of Arendur would later conclude that he could be harmed, but that his foes had simply not figured out how. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
Though he never appeared in person, there was Paradax activity in Arendur, the Final Empire, Ragnarok, and World's End. Their purpose was not known. Category:Great Old Ones
