I plan right now on four different trilogies. So around 6000 pages in all, probably a lot more before revisions. 10k pages or some such?

I have discussed three 'turning points in history' which culminate in the historian in the present day and the threat he is trying to understand.

There are two distinct lineages of what the mortal races refer to as 'fiends'. Of the three races in my setting only two deal with these monsters. Vulkur (flightless avian people based on storks) do not have these beasts on their continent. Human and Pelkori (caste species based on naked molerats evolved from whale ancestors) do.

Pelkori deal with the Susajata (It That Devours), a malevolent entity that is trying to recreate a lost civilization of the Sumori (They Who Wait). It was created by a Sumori who believed itself the true Sumori. It's essentially grey goo . It recreates twisted abominations in its attempts to recreate the glory of the Sumori. The creations of the Susajata are the Susaja (They That Devour), the monsters it uses as recreations of the Sumori. This is in contrast to twisted versions of the Pelkori and other Formori servator races lost to time, known as the Susasahi (They Who Help They That Devour).

Humans deal with the Kagak Tak (The Voice Without Mouths), which is an old malevolent weapon meant to wipe the Tas Da Daunn that lives in every shadow. This was also created by the Sumori.

Humans also deal with the Tas Da Gukda (Ones of Lost Mind) and Tas Da Rakan (Ones of Lost Beauty), which are essentially different levels of devolutions and revolution of the Tas Da Daunn (Ones Who Lost Paradise) after the Sumori cursed the great giants of crystal and glass with flesh, turning them primitive and stupid. Humans are part of this who redeveloped intelligence, but there are those farther along this than them. Tas Da Gukda are giant primordial and stupid version of the Tas Da Daunn who lost their intelligence and sanity to the curse of flesh. They look like enormous and horribly deformed humans, plus other traits that were forced upon them as jokes by the Sumori.

The Tas Da Rakan are those along the human lineage who are closer to recreating the glory of the Tas Da Daunn. Naturally gifted speakers of the voices and generally four armed. They often have parts of their flesh replaced by the great ice and crystal of what they are to become.
