Of Demiurges and the Forge of Worlds

A demiurge is a lord (or lordling) of Chaos who has been granted regency over a world created by an absentee Lord of Law. These pacts predate our knowledge of the Multiverse and hint at an old cooperation or arrangement between certain factions of Chaos and their Lawful counterparts. While the god-smiths who gave birth to these worlds are gone -- perhaps lapsed into the Last Sleep or taken away by Time entirely -- many of their demiurgic prentices remain to perpetuate their patterns of love and hate and woe and joy over the worlds they govern in secret.

In the darkest deeps of the Void one might find the Forge of Worlds sidling through the darkness like a vast black galleon. It is a place inhabited by invisible custodians. A demiurge could show you how to operate it, though you would need all the potency of a god-smith to power it.
