The Creator of Them All, Extius the Original
Before there was a such thing as a 'beginning' there was Extius. He who had unlimited power; he whose omnipotence and control knew no bounds. Even the Citadel, which holds records on everything that has ever existed, has no information on the enigma that is Extius. For a long while, Extius was content to sit in his Void and just be. He grew tired of it, though, finding existence with no companionship pointless.
The Creation of the Cores
Thus led to the creation of the Cores. From these the first daughters of Extius emerged: he named the first Echowix and her younger sister Ilnonta. The daughters were given the domains of time and space respectively, though the responsibilities of such things hindered them at a young age. They began feuding with one another over disagreements on how they should control their respective cores: Echowix, who was time, preferred order; Ilnonta, as all that remained, reveled in entropy.
Echowix became frustrated with her sister's disobedience as her disdain for the passive nature of her Core grew. In her anger, she selfishly stole the Cores and created the Citadel, a realm where she could control everything in it. In her continued selfishness, she thought she could create a set of twins whom she convinced herself that, unlike her sister, these twins would be perfect. Thus we were given Novea and Novevu: Life and Death.
Predictably, Novea and Novevu did not get along. Novea, who was Life, borrowed knowledge from the Citadel and created Elysian, which we have come to equate to heaven. She took upon herself the responsibility of governing the creation of souls and their fates until the end of Echowix herself.
Novevu, furious that he was not privy to the same information and envious of how hard he had to work so hard for it, stole the first of many Manuscripts and took control of the Void - putting the creator of them all, Extius the Original, to sleep.
The Perversion of the Cores
In their disparate pursuits for perfection, each of the Ancients began using the Cores to create more children. Novevu, the master of Death, created Xaina, whose Core was Light; the mistress of Life Novea came to create Xainayne from the Core of Darkness.
There was a pause in the creation of Ancients for a time, though it eventually continued with Xaina and Xainayne created Jaiho and and Jayhe--Chaos and Order. Disaster struck when Xainayne murdered Jaiho, which drove Xaina into a fury that resulted in Phita, who became Fire, and the symbol for destruction and war.
The Creation of the Three Swords
This constant abuse of power led to Echowix and Ilnonta putting their differences aside to create the remaining Ancients in an attempt to balance things. After each was brought to life, Extius, sensing his waning powers, awoke. He was inconsolable about the fact that they had taken all of his power and used it so selfishly, so he created three Swords to gift humans: The Soul Breaker, Core Crater, and Void Swallower. The three were equally dangerous and equally lethal to each and every Ancient.
Present Day
Ancients created Treasures as their heirs and heiresses. The dual function of these Treasures were that, in times of conflict, they could be beacons for humanity; though more importantly, that they could replace their Ancients if it ever came down to it.
All members are born from the Cores, and all members will die when the Cores are dimished--they are lost to us all inside the Citadel, which in itself is lost. This means it is inevitable that without direct access to the Cores, these Ancients will eventually perish. Time will drain them of their power as they did Extius, getting weaker and weaker with each iteration of their bloodline.
There is an understanding among the Ancients that they will not kill each other nor one another's Treasures, but that is not to say times are without tension. The throne remains empty. Without someone on it, things will continue in a slow downward spiral, getting worse and worse until one day we wake up to a time with no Ancients, and all of the magic, wonder, and known realms gone. Just gone.

They began feuding with one another over disagreements on how they should control their respective cores: Echowix, who was time, preferred order; Ilnonta, as all that remained, reveled in entropy.
Echowix became frustrated with her sister's disobedience as her disdain for the passive nature of her Core grew. In her anger, she selfishly stole the Cores and created the Citadel, a realm where she could control everything in it. In her continued selfishness, she thought she could create a set of twins whom she convinced herself that, unlike her sister, these twins would be perfect. Thus we were given Novea and Novevu: Life and Death.
Predictably, Novea and Novevu did not get along. Novea, who was Life, borrowed knowledge from the Citadel and created Elysian, which we have come to equate to heaven. She took upon herself the responsibility of governing the creation of souls and their fates until the end of Echowix herself.
Novevu, furious that he was not privy to the same information and envious of how hard he had to work so hard for it, stole the first of many Manuscripts and took control of the Void - putting the creator of them all, Extius the Original, to sleep.
The Perversion of the Cores
In their disparate pursuits for perfection, each of the Ancients began using the Cores to create more children. Novevu, the master of Death, created Xaina, whose Core was Light; the mistress of Life Novea came to create Xainayne from the Core of Darkness.
There was a pause in the creation of Ancients for a time, though it eventually continued with Xaina and Xainayne created Jaiho and and Jayhe--Chaos and Order. Disaster struck when Xainayne murdered Jaiho, which drove Xaina into a fury that resulted in Phita, who became Fire, and the symbol for destruction and war.
The Creation of the Three Swords
This constant abuse of power led to Echowix and Ilnonta putting their differences aside to create the remaining Ancients in an attempt to balance things. After each was brought to life, Extius, sensing his waning powers, awoke. He was inconsolable about the fact that they had taken all of his power and used it so selfishly, so he created three Swords to gift humans: The Soul Breaker, Core Crater, and Void Swallower. The three were equally dangerous and equally lethal to each and every Ancient.
Present Day
Ancients created Treasures as their heirs and heiresses. The dual function of these Treasures were that, in times of conflict, they could be beacons for humanity; though more importantly, that they could replace their Ancients if it ever came down to it.
All members are born from the Cores, and all members will die when the Cores are dimished--they are lost to us all inside the Citadel, which in itself is lost. This means it is inevitable that without direct access to the Cores, these Ancients will eventually perish. Time will drain them of their power as they did Extius, getting weaker and weaker with each iteration of their bloodline.
There is an understanding among the Ancients that they will not kill each other nor one another's Treasures, but that is not to say times are without tension. The throne remains empty. Without someone on it, things will continue in a slow downward spiral, getting worse and worse until one day we wake up to a time with no Ancients, and all of the magic, wonder, and known realms gone. Just gone.

The Creator of Them All, Extius the Original
Before there was a such thing as a 'beginning' there was Extius. He who had unlimited power; he whose omnipotence and control knew no bounds. Even the Citadel, which holds records on everything that has ever existed, has no information on the enigma that is Extius. For a long while, Extius was content to sit in his Void and just be. He grew tired of it, though, finding existence with no companionship pointless.

Thus led to the creation of the Cores. From these the first daughters of Extius emerged: he named the first Echowix and her younger sister Ilnonta.

Novevu, furious that he was not privy to the same information and envious of how hard he had to work so hard for it, stole the first of many Manuscripts and took control of the Void - putting the creator of them all, Extius the Original, to sleep.
The Perversion of the Cores
In their disparate pursuits for perfection, each of the Ancients began using the Cores to create more children. Novevu, the master of Death, created Xaina, whose Core was Light; the mistress of Life Novea came to create Xainayne from the Core of Darkness.
There was a pause in the creation of Ancients for a time, though it eventually continued with Xaina and Xainayne created Jaiho and and Jayhe--Chaos and Order. Disaster struck when Xainayne murdered Jaiho, which drove Xaina into a fury that resulted in Phita, who became Fire, and the symbol for destruction and war.
The Creation of the Three Swords
This constant abuse of power led to Echowix and Ilnonta putting their differences aside to create the remaining Ancients in an attempt to balance things. After each was brought to life, Extius, sensing his waning powers, awoke. He was inconsolable about the fact that they had taken all of his power and used it so selfishly, so he created three Swords to gift humans: The Soul Breaker, Core Crater, and Void Swallower. The three were equally dangerous and equally lethal to each and every Ancient.
Present Day
Ancients created Treasures as their heirs and heiresses. The dual function of these Treasures were that, in times of conflict, they could be beacons for humanity; though more importantly, that they could replace their Ancients if it ever came down to it.
All members are born from the Cores, and all members will die when the Cores are dimished--they are lost to us all inside the Citadel, which in itself is lost. This means it is inevitable that without direct access to the Cores, these Ancients will eventually perish. Time will drain them of their power as they did Extius, getting weaker and weaker with each iteration of their bloodline.
There is an understanding among the Ancients that they will not kill each other nor one another's Treasures, but that is not to say times are without tension. The throne remains empty. Without someone on it, things will continue in a slow downward spiral, getting worse and worse until one day we wake up to a time with no Ancients, and all of the magic, wonder, and known realms gone. Just gone.

The Creator of Them All, Extius the Original
Before there was a such thing as a 'beginning' there was Extius. He who had unlimited power; he whose omnipotence and control knew no bounds. Even the Citadel, which holds records on everything that has ever existed, has no information on the enigma that is Extius. For a long while, Extius was content to sit in his Void and just be. He grew tired of it, though, finding existence with no companionship pointless.
The Creation of the Cores
Thus led to the creation of the Cores. From these the first daughters of Extius emerged: he named the first Echowix and her younger sister Ilnonta. The daughters were given the domains of time and space respectively, though the responsibilities of such things hindered them at a young age. They began feuding with one another over disagreements on how they should control their respective cores: Echowix, who was time, preferred order; Ilnonta, as all that remained, reveled in entropy.
Echowix became frustrated with her sister's disobedience as her disdain for the passive nature of her Core grew. In her anger, she selfishly stole the Cores and created the Citadel, a realm where she could control everything in it. In her continued selfishness, she thought she could create a set of twins whom she convinced herself that, unlike her sister, these twins would be perfect. Thus we were given Novea and Novevu: Life and Death.
