The Simurgh is one of the three original creatures known as Endbringers, created accidentally by the extraordinarily powerful psychic known as Eidolon. These Endbringers manifest across the plane, sowing chaos for months at a time, before retreating back into pocket domains. She is obsessed with collecting information and controlling the shape of the future, often deciding on an outcome and manipulating current events to lead that outcome. |
