The Fungus Mat

The Fungus Mat is a incomprehensible intelligence.

It encompasses all of reality along the scab. It feeds on the disparity between reality and the void. There is an intelligence behind its actions. Ultimately it seeks to emulate the Great Machine and bring order to the chaos of the Broken Worlds.

Whereas the Great Machine from which the Broken Worlds originates is constructed of divine light and perfect machinery the fungus will construct its great machine from flesh and blood. I order to do this it needs reality to stabalize and will react violently should any new GODs arise as they will create currents within the already turbulent God's Blood.

It has saved and enslaved the dwarves to its will. The dwarves act as avatars. They are immensely powerful beings who work to pull islands down into the void. An apocalyptic scenario for those who live upon the islands.
