Where the lesser touched the world and chose to rest the endless servitors of Myrkul's Vein slowly congregated. Though they normally sought out human habitation in this case Tolyl had no interest in such places instead curling around a disused mansion deep in the forest. They'd learned much in their short time in the world thus far. Notably about the need for defense in absence of the lesser.
Though often the metacreative lesser, Eldryth, was needed for construction Tolyl was her polar in destruction to return matter to bonded psimass. In this case the slow leach of purified annihilation did require a certain distance from human habitation. The swamp started to luminesce as cloying fluid leached from its pores quite normally a thing hazardous to mundane humankind. It found the plane of Genesis far too bright for its liking and would not stay there. More free than the other servitors as a lesser of Myrkul Tolyl was a grumpy sort favoring isolation.
So Jinhai came from Genesis, attracted by Myrkul's writ upon the Almanac, to organize a location to both correct the leaching of a slumbering lesser and create a transitory station to vent psipass into Myrkul's wellspring. The first group wandered the mash for some time, occasionally beset by abominations, but proved of little nutritional value. Numbers bloomed at the discovery of open threats driven to anger by the noxious substance but with lancing of disintegration beams held their own. When Tolyl returned the abominations fared little better as a force of destruction second only to Myrkul's Vein returned.
Tall Octahedral spires writ with deep red patterns slowly reversed the flow of the noxious substance as Tolyl returned to rest. Though the swamp still glowed with power noxious to weak intelligent life too near to the mansion the swamp soon becalmed. The glow emanating from proximal waters gave rise to far more energetic creatures but in time some even began to acknowledge the lifeless servitors as an inevitable function of the forest. Only in this place eddies that glow in murky water edged toward anything with a mind.
