The Founder

Background
A mysterious being that created Mundana from the Myst and conducts the Arrivals that bring the various races from the Beyonds into Mundana. Very little is known about this being other than the fact that it is extremely powerful in general and capable of manipulating the Myst in a nearly endless number of ways. No other concrete facts are known about this being, but this has not stopped scholars from speculating about it.

There are very few records that provide any insight to this being, but each that has been discovered follows the same progression. The Founder appears in a different realm and proclaims that the realm is about to suffer a catastrophic event that will wipe out its entire population. The native population does not believe the Founder, but the event occurs regardless. A strange mist covers a portion of the realm, and just as the catastrophe hits in full force, the mist clears and the entire region has been moved to the current realm.

Most scholars have a few points that they agree on about the Founder. The first is that it seems to be a benevolent being. For whatever reason, it seems to be searching out other realms that are about to experience a catastrophic event and pull a portion of that realm's population out before that disaster strikes to save them. It is a topic of great contention whether or not the Founder is causing these disasters to occur, but the benevolent nature of the Founder in saving these people is very rarely argued against.
