The Endless were all born near the beginning of the universe, one by one, as their functions came into existence. The Endless all consider themselves siblings, and are the children of Night and Time. Along with the concepts implied in their names-that is, Dream governing dreams and nightmares, Death shepherding people to the afterlife, and so on-the Endless also define their own opposites, with Death defining life, Despair defining hope, and so on. Each force is personified by a figure who appears in the comics as a godlike humanoid being, and each member of the Endless has their own domain that they rule over while they perform their duties throughout the universe. In the world of The Sandman, all of existence is shaped by seven natural forces: Dream, Death, Desire, Despair, Destiny, Delirium, and Destruction. Although not all of them have been cast yet, the other members of the Endless will make appearances throughout the series. Morpheus will also contend with mistakes he’s made throughout the long eons of his existence.
When the Order captures Dream, AKA Morpheus, instead, Morpheus must repair the damage to the Dreaming and the mortal world that’s been wrought during his imprisonment.
