Ptahil, like Abatur before him, complains about his assignment, but does as he is told. The world he creates is a very dark place, unlike the World of Light from which Abatur and the others come from.
Ptahil, echoing Abatur's sentiments, expresses dissatisfaction with his duties, but carries out tasks as assigned. The realm he crafts is characterized by darkness, differing significantly from the luminous World of Light that spawned Abatur and other deities.
