The Worms, and the Wish Dragons seem to have gone another. Neither seem to act directly, both the worms and the dragons offer boons that later turn out to have a severe price. For the Hive, it was to become slaves to darkness. For the Ahamkara, the boons are smaller but also have a price that is hinted to be far higher then what people initially realize.

New Knuckles of Eao flavor-text is particularly salient:

• "Knuckles of Eao
  Effect that increases the rewards from the next raid encounter you complete in a Weekly Featured Raid. "Boons I grant you, oh bearer mine, but debts must be paid in time.""

I always enjoy your posts, you seem to have interesting twists or insights on the larger picture of the story as a whole. I tend to get stuck on the small details, rather than see the big picture.
Do you have any recommendations on reading the backstory or intentions of "The Darkness" as you have alluded to? My Grimoire reading still remains nearly entirely sandboxed within the Books of Sorrow
