The Nine Kings

The Nine Kings are eldritch, god-like beings, said to be 'pallid and monstrous in appearance'.

The Kings were the original creators of Forruin, enslaving the world and its peoples as playthings for their dark desires.

Although ultimately banished by the allied might of the races of the Hierarchy, whom they had oppressed for aeons, the Kings' final act before exile was to inflict the race of humans with a flesh-corrupting hex, during a conflict now known as the Ruining.

The Kings now dwell in the Nameless Void, ever seeking their way back to Forruin, and to terrible vengeance.
