Talk:The Outsider/@comment-25013293-20140518014907

My personal theor is that the whales sort of act as magical pillars of reality, stabilizing it and preventing it from being consumed by the Void, and when the last whale dies, the universe falls into the Void.

And maybe the Outsider could be the personification of the Void, who simply gives interesting people his Mark to pass the time until the Time comes for him to devour everything.
