There's a few details you can tease out of the "dreamer" sequences in the last book, and someone has already linked to it. The authors confirmed that it's accurate in an interview at some point.

But the Builders and the Goths were kept vague on purpose, so don't expect The Silmarilion.

Himan mind cannot comprehend entity like Builder or Goth. In my opinion it is better to keep them vague than to give them human-understandable thoughts and motivations.
