The Elder

The Elder was an Awefian who was separated from the other Awefians after The Seer caused the downfall of Awef.

While In The Black Realm
The Elder would manage to wander into the central regions of the Pencilcosmos and find The Black Realm. The Elder believed it was the last remaining Awefian, and so decided to try and leave a some traces of it behind. The Elder originally intended to find life within The Black Realm, but instead found more empty void. The Elder would eventually stumble across a strange piece of material and begin writing on it. For over 2 LPT, The Elder wrote extremely detailed information about The Pencil Language on the material.

However, The Elder would die very soon. The Hole, a large "hole" at the center of the Pencilcosmos, would slowly begin consuming The Black Realm, causing The Elder to get sucked into The Hole and die. The civilization that had resided in The Black Realm, Wof and its creatures, the Pencils, would evacuate The Black Realm and escape.

The material that The Elder left behind would be discovered by the Pencils, who learned about The Pencil Language and soon adopted it, adding to the language and spawning in a new dialect of TPL, the Central dialect.
