Ancient Ones

Synopsis

  The Ancient Ones are a mysterious race with advanced technology. They have created the densest metal in all of the known world, and have only found it in extremely rare circumstances. Not much is known about them, as tampering with their own technology seems extremely difficult.  

History

  The Ancient Ones were once an advanced species to the lands. They were able to create artificial intelligences, portals, and weapons of extreme power. However, before the races themselves settled, the Ancient Ones found themselves at war with the Primordials; creatures of infinite life and extreme power. The Magic at the time was so abundant, that it was effecting the entirety of the war in dramatic ways, and allowing the Primordials to come back again and again in a matter of days. The war itself tore the Continent Apart, but eventually, the Ancient Ones had no choice but to shatter the magic of the Primordials, at the cost of their own lives.   Using a weapon placed on both of the moons known as Doomsday, the Ancient Ones activated it, sending out a massive dispell magic spell in order to rid the planet of most of its hyper-arcane strength. Upon impact, the planet was changed forever, shifting it to a more stabilized state, and shattering the Primordials back into the ether. However, it is obvious that far from all magic was lost, and as well, some larger magical pieces of the Primordials ended up changing the fauna into creatures of elemental power. The Vol Vagia is such a creature.  

Social

  The social structure of the Ancient Ones was highly militarized, and had a half-half blend of military prowess, and intense religious beliefs which they viewed as a guide. As such, it was common for them to butt heads politically very often. Still, everyone at the lowest level still pulled their weight, and was viewed as an absolute necessity to keep their species alive.  

Political

  The politics of the Ancient Ones is shrouded in mystery. What is actively known is that there were three heads of the entire race; a military authority, a religious authority, and an architectural authority. The latter of which was in charge of building the structures that the race lives upon, and was considered to be one of the most important roles. The roles themselves are known as the "All Fighter", "All Priest", and the "All Builder" respectively.  

Economic

  Money was not really used, but instead, social credit was built upon reputation and deed. Each member had a social credit score, which would allow them to take a limited amount of resources, and likewise, allow them to sell or adjudicate them how they saw fit.  

Religious

  The existence of Gods was not Foreign to the Ancient ones, but rather than worshipping multiple Gods, they instead decided to worship the "All One"; the apparent Deity above Deity's. Such things would be heretical in Algorath, but they had a genuine belief that-like their deity-they were born to create and live to create.  

Military

  The Military branch of the Ancient ones are compromised of several subsections  

Assault Forces: Assault Forces are comprised of the troops which would move in to battle first, and normally are made up of modified Ancient Ones, as well as their vehicles.

Defender Forces: Defender forces are comprised of troops to stay and guard the homes and structures. They are also made up of Ancient Ones.

Construct Forces: Construct Forces are made up of Constructs created by the Ancient Ones which do multiple tasks, and are the most flexible. From repairing objects, to fighting opposing threats.

Their leader was known as the "All Fighter"    

Biology

  The make up of the ancient ones is unknown, save for they are bipedal, medium height, and had a lifespan of at least 1,000 years.
