Pre-history

(Work in progress)

Before the genesis of the known races, the world was inhabited by a single race. Beings of such immense power, they sculpted the world and arranged the stars to their liking. They drew from the realm of Essence as effortlessly as poet dipping for ink. Truly, the universe was their sandbox and much of the beauty that thrives today is thanks to their design. There was, however, one feat which eluded their capabilities, much to their struggle and dismay...to fully ascend themselves into the realm of Essence they utilized and worshiped so much. Despite their best efforts, their physical bodies prevented them in every attempt from ascending. They did, however, come into contact with beings halfway between their own physical plane and the Essential plane they so desperately sought. These beings took a particular interest in them...

Changes: -While the elder race was immensely powerful, they were limited to the natural laws of the Universe (Gravity, atrophy, ect.). This greatly frustrated them and caused them to seek ascension to the realm of Essence so that they could create their own laws.

-The Outer Beings empowered the elder race to be able to bend the natural laws, in exchange the elder race did what for the Outer Beings?

Eventually, certain Outer Beings began to siphon, harvest, and feed off of the elder races latent Essence.

To protect the bleeding elder race, a group of Outer Beings sacrificed themselves to pull apart the physical and Astral realm and create a barrier between the world and the Outer Beings, the "schism" resulted in a few Outer Beings being left in the world where they slowly withered in power.

In the time leading up to the First Era, the barrier has begun to weaken, and certain Outer Beings have once again began to communicate to the new races of the world, such as the Teirans.
