PRAHS HISTORY

PREPRAHS

It all began on Earth when a group of genetic scientists unlocked the secrets of mutational evolution. They set in motion the greatest experiments known to mankind since creation. They had created new life, more advanced than themselves. The cry of the public was deafening, calling them abominations and forcing the projects to shut down. There were many in the government however who desired to exploit these experiments and like most government programs it would continue. In guarded secrecy the projects were moved clear across the galaxy where these new beings would be left to their own unchecked motivations and genius. The first thing they did was figure out how to slow their own aging process to a literal standstill. With this freedom from the restraints of time they turned their attentions to the creation of a new civilization. They managed to push evolution up a few thousand years and bestowed intelligence on the emerging races who declared their creators “ANCIENTS”. The Ancients devoted extra efforts on a select few, unknowingly creating rulers who became icons of their societies. With godlike powers these beings brought rule to their families and destruction to the Ancients. The Ancients had it good up to the time of purification. Remorseus, who was their first major project, quickly learned their science then let them help with his designs for the Beta race. Remorseus understood, he could see where events would lead and so he took the initiative. 82 years after the Ancients had been moved to this planet Remorseus waged war on them, attacking them in their labs and cities. The Ancients fled, scattering across the land and were hunted by cold Shadow Assassins sent to dispatch as many as they could find. After seven years there were less than ten Ancients left. In the end there remain only five. Two work for Remorseus, held captive in his subterranean dungeon. One found a home with the Highland Betas, themselves thought of as only legends, and lives in obscurity. Two others escaped into the Badlands where they continued their experiments, trying to undo what they had done. 200 years after Remorseus helped to bring Wrayna to power Recnac Eno fell from the sky, a shining sentinel from Earth. Remus, one of the two Ancients from the wilderness guessed at who he was when he fell and sought out Recnac Eno. He managed to restore much of the great lord’s memory before he was discovered and killed by a Shadow Assassin. The Ancient who remained in the Badlands remains a great terror to all, continuing his experiments and sending horrifying creatures out to destroy all of their earlier creations. He has gone mad in his hermitage and is not understood by anyone. A legend, he has become worshiped and feared
