The Phantoms and Fiends of Edon are the oldest forces ever recorded on Planet Nine. They are older than the Nine War and even older than the Rune Forest. They drift between the material and formlessness…. half spirit and half memory. Edon’s villagers whisper that these beings were born from the first great war (The Arcane War).

Though often spoken of together, phantoms and fiends are not the same. The Phantoms are formless. They are the shadows moving through fog and ruin. The Fiends are capable of touching and clawing at the world. They are neither good nor evil, only relentless.

The most catastrophic example of their influence was their binding with Wish Blade. Long before he rose to challenge the Swamp Prince, before the The Legend and the wars, it was the Phantoms and Fiends who answered Wish Blade’s grief and rage with an offer…. power for a soul. They did not trick him. They simply stood before him in silence, letting him choose.

Even now, long after the war and Wish Blade’s sealing, the Phantoms and Fiends still roam the abandoned edges of Edon.
