Ananda is the hand on the rudder that guides the world. He controls little. He acts rarely. Yet in a thousand subtle ways, he steers Creation towards its future, for Ananda is the Lord of the Fourth Age, the Imperator of the world that is yet to come.

As a lord on the Council Of Four, Ananda serves Lord Entropy — if not always with his vote, then at least with his abstention. The Darkest Lord has not corrupted him, but has rendered him impotent, unable to stand against Entropy's will. Even so, many Powers see in Ananda the hope of the world. They say that in Ananda's terrible beauty, which drives mortals mad and exhorts the world to sing, there lies a sign of some brilliant future to come.

Ananda's true nature, much like Lord Entropy, is a mystery. The Sight does not show his essence. Idri-mi, one of the four Earthly Powers old enough to remember the world before the Age Of Pain, claims that this is typical. The Lady of the Third Age was similarly shadowed until the Excrucians came.

It is known he is one of the Roots Of The World. It is also known that he rules the Chancel of City Back. His estates (in the Chrysalis Campaign) are Murder, the Infinite, the Fourth Age, and Cities.
