Mother Dark is the goddess and mother of the Tiste Andii, who sought something beyond herself and gave birth to Light. Her children rejected her, leaving her at the center of a painful myth of creation, longing, and estrangement. The text offers no further account of her fate or physical form.

Description

Mother Dark's physical appearance is not described. She is identified as a goddess and mother of the Tiste Andii, but no details are given of her face, body, coloring, hair, clothing, or manner; her image should remain abstract and unembellished.
