Quote:
Before our universe was created, and before The Lost Land, there was Oblivion; a savage entity drifting through the cosmos like a monstrous, omnipotent jellyfish, Oblivion consumed every planet it came into contact with, invading the bodies of the living and devouring them from the inside, feeding off the very energies of the dead and dying.
-
The moment the Lost Land was created, Oblivion first felt pain, and fear, and hatred. Life sprang forth in the wake of death, and a new universe was born; our universe. Oblivion survived. Though nearly obliterated by the pure energy source that would later be known as the Light Burden, Oblivion lived; and while regaining its strength, began looking for a way to punch a hole through the netherscape that separates our world from the Lost Land, and the Lost Land from countless others.

The Turok line must die, so the Light Burden that carries the last traces of the energy that is its bane will disappear, then chaos will befall the omniverse, and Oblivion can be completely reborn, and once again become the most powerful being that ever lived. According to Adon, Oblivion exists beyond the universe's fundamental forces of good and evil, light and dark, and order or chaos. She also reveals that previous Turoks have encountered it before.
'Jellyfish' and 'eating planets before the universe existed' aside, I was expecting a confrontation with something more out of Lovecraft, epic and ancient. Instead I got this (hidden behind a link if you don't want to spoil it for yourself):
