In the formless time before time, Anoat the Forsaken joined with their siblings to create existence. Anoat was a spiteful entity, and sought to undermine the endeavor from inception. The other entities wanted the life in existence to live eternally, but Anoat corrupted that.
Instead of distinct and eternal entities, Anoat caused life to be a cascading chemical reaction that perpetuated itself through propagation of younger versions of itself. In some aspects of this life-foam, nodules of life would invest each other with parasitic lifeforms that would then erupt out of the nodule.
Some of these nodules thought highly of themselves, ignorant of being just a phase of a chemical process. They glorified their parasites, thinking it something grand. And they dubbed these parasites "babies."
For their sins against existance, Anoat was exiled to the star system that still bears their name.

Jeremy Zimmerman:
You produce an inspiring amount of work, and I assume you have a number of works in progress at any given time. 1. How do you juggle multiple creative streams? Do you focus and finish one work before you pick the next idea up, or do you run concurrent projects? 2. If you are working on multiple items at the same time how do you prevent one work from unduly influencing the other? (ie crossing the streams)
