Gibbeth was a star-like Elder Evil[1] from the Far Realm who had taken a place among the stars of Realmspace. Unlike normal stars, Gibbeth didn't have a fixed place in the sky but instead danced and wavered across Realmspace.[2]
Description[]
Gibbeth was described as a green star that at its core had an utterly unknowable being.[3]
History[]
Gibbeth and the other Far Realm–infested stars of Realmspace were somehow related to the Eldest.[2]
Scholars who studied stars avoided studying or even talk about Gibbeth.[4] It was believed that Gibbeth's true form was a being of madness, and that this madness was contagious and even dangerous. Even a minor contact with its madness was able to create an aberrant creature known as the Scion of Gibbeth.[3]
It was also believed that, when Gibbeth revealed its true form at the end of time, reality would be unmade just by its gaze.[3]
Nonetheless, and despite all the dangers, Gibbeth was usually sought out by some warlocks to make a pact with it. Neogi were specially adept in seeking out pacts with it and the other Far Realm–infested stars.[1]
