If it helps, I like Ishtar too. Legolas Send a noteboard - 19/04/2010 08:40:14 PM
There are seven beings that are not Gods,
that existed before humanity dreamed of Gods,
that will exist after the last God is dead.
There are seven beings that exist because,
deep in our hearts, we know that they exist.

There are seven beings that are called the Endless.
They are, in order of age, Destiny, Death, Dream,
Destruction, Desire and Despair, and Delirium,
who was once Delight.

Space to remove *NM* tag.


So yes, I realize they're a layer above the gods in the Sandman universe (or perhaps Sandman omniverse would be more accurate...). Still, for the purposes of the discussion, I think they qualify.

I'm afraid I have to take issue with you grouping the Endless among the gods. Tim - 19/04/2010 08:20:55 PM 1384 Views
