Some Wu T'ian like to think that some of the Eight Immortals are former Wan Xian, indicated by the sorrow in their eyes when the errant Wan Kuei are mentioned. Whatever they are, they are a mystery to everyone not native in the Heavens. Their combined power is said to rival even those of Osiris, but as the Sixth Age draws nearer, their power wanes more and more, as the August Personage makes himself ready to step down from his throne and the Demon Emperor is coming.
