Re: What's an endless?

Mmmm. The Endless.

Have you ever read The Sandman by Neil Gaiman? If not, then you've not had the pleasure of "meeting" the Endless: seven beings that have been around since something like forever.

The seven are:
Potmos (Destiny)
Teleute (Death)
Oneiros (Dream/Morpheus)
Olethros (Destruction)
Epithumia (Desire)
Aponoia (Despair)
Mania (Delirium)

Some info can be found here (http://www.holycow.com/dreaming/lore/sandfaq0.html). There's also lots of stuff on Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22The+Endless%22). You should definitely look for any Sandman trade paperbacks (in my opinion).
