Null

The Dark Elder who gives the Obscurists their name and their purpose, based in the Observatory of the Obscure above the Absurdity Abyss, high in the WeaveWatch Wale. Once counted among the Elders of the Eternal Loom, the ancient keepers of Threadbare's history and knowledge, Null's fall from that circle is spoken of only carefully, and never in front of the Loom itself.

Where the other Elders hold that forgetting is a wound to be mended, Null teaches that it is simply the truth of things, and that the Great Weave's insistence on meaning is its own kind of cruelty. Null rarely leaves the Observatory, preferring to send the Obscurists in service of the Unweaving, and is said to speak, on the rare occasion of a direct encounter, not in anger but in something closer to pity, for anyone still bothering to hold their thread together.
