Long before the first calendars were written, a species roamed the stars as the architect of life, sowing seeds among primitive species, shaping them into conscious, humanoid forms capable of language, culture, and memory. To each, they offered a fragment of their legacy... and then vanished. They left no warnings, no complete relics, only ruins and technology so advanced it still defies comprehension.
Among their descendants rose the Ehaykean Empire, a proud people who unified entire star systems under their banner. For centuries, their clans maintained harmony until an external enemy arrived. An unknown race emerged from the dark regions of the star map, claiming the domains of their ancestors, as so many other civilizations had done. The war was brutal, and the Empire was defeated.
In humiliation, discord arose.
The Nagaka clan, weakened and resentful of the high council's lack of response, blamed the Tsunenari, thenleadersof the Empire, for having led his people to disaster. The Tsunenari, in turn, accused the Nagaka of secretly conspiring with alien forces, and what began as a political trial degenerated into a civil war.
The Empire did not fall at the hands of enemies, but by the edge of its own divisions.
Now, in the year 2517 A.P. (After the Precursors), the fragments of ancient power are divided among warring clans, and the whispers of the ancients have begun to awaken once more.
History repeats itself, and someone will have torememberhow the first time ended.
