Overview

Children said to be born from women who have been corrupted by the Cosmic aspect. The mothers do not survive birth and the children born have an eerie, otherworldly appearance. They grow rapidly and speak in strange sounds. They are believed to be a bad omen and disastrous acts of nature are said to follow their births.
