The World-Eater (also called The Mad Divine) is a draconic deity imprisoned by the Shards within a pocket realm. Its release is usually accompanied by the end of a cycle and thus the remaking of the world only once has this been in part avoided (see The Reshaping).
The World-Eater is known to whisper cryptically to inhabitants of the material plane, manipulating events towards their release.
