Splintering is the metaphysical process by which an Elder God splits themselves to become a mortal race. Each resulting mortal contains a small shard of their progenitor. The first God to splinter was Bollikin, though Ein is credited with discovering the theoretical basis well before.
The first generation after a splintering carry the identity and memories of the Elder God, but these fade with time and successive generations. Mugowumpois made a point to record these memories, a practice that would eventually enable the Keepers of Mysteries to compile a History of the Elder Wars.
