The Ancients are beings created from raw energy and matter. Our stories tell us that they were once stars, fallen to the original earth only a few millennia after its birth.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKJvzguwWg 維尼
Darla was the first to fall; she descended alone away from her younger siblings. She was quickly taken in by a presence that became known as many things; Order, Pan, and later Devil for his reign over Purgatory.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVHHLDKX4T 維尼
He took her in and adopted her as his child, teaching her to harness her power into domains that would be over the creatures she created.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxamzCQPu8 維尼

She created these domains and beings so that she would not be alone and so that her siblings would not be alone when they fell as well.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpDVYBewmW 維尼
The second to fall was Markus, and he took charge of the werewolves, feeling a kinship with the ravenous beast locked away within them. But he grew discontented with them and sought to create something far more dangerous.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BEGcF8Kse 維尼
In the centuries that followed, Markus grew to love Darla and sought to make her his. He courted her, trying to wile her away from the protective presence of Order, and even succeeded for a time.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb2GMn6d0J 維尼
They had a child, a daughter, named Katia. She took after her father in ability, but not in personality and quickly became his bane.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFtt7PYzM3 維尼
A century passed and Markus cast out Katia. In response, Darla left Markus and took Katia away to a land far away from the beginning.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcxhmN8QUD 維尼
The next to fall was Dante, as he was enraged by his brother's actions. He attacked Markus but Markus fought back and managed to bite the Ancient. The bite was poisonous. So when he managed to find his way to Darla, she modified the poison and gave him the domain over shapeshifting.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvYL8ETSn7 維尼
In the years that followed, Darla married Dante and he adopted Katia as his own, empowering her with the ability to shapeshift into anyone or thing. Free from the curse of being bound to the moon, Katia took a new name to signify her new life; Juliette.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡaobE3IHQMd 維尼
They lived happily for a time, not unaware that Markus was attempting to grow his species so that he may attack them. So they did as well.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOPPSvcgbt 維尼
Darla, with her powers over creation, did separate the land and modify it so that Markus' lot would be separate from theirs by an ocean. She was not unkind though, she gave Markus and his people ample room to grow and flourish. Just at a safer distance away.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡal6hyQeP5H 維尼
The next to fall were the twins Titania and Trenton. Trenton was attacked by the Lycan that Markus created and so they made their way to Darla and Dante.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0MVqpvKmC 維尼
Darla, who by now had given birth to a son, Garrett, took in her siblings. To ease the twins' suffering, she gave them both domain over the Fae, with Titania leading the Seelie and with Trenton leading the Unseelie. Dante gave his siblings partial abilities over shapeshifting to help hide their people, and to help protect the Faeries, as they were highly sought after for their blood. The blood of the Fae became the nectar of the supernatural races.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBa88cZv56 維尼
The Fae quickly prospered with the Twins leading them. Their small population grew so much that they set up a system of courts for the various species and classes of Fae.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTcWVDYTZK 維尼
The Seelie were a righteous people, with very strict black-and-white morals and a propensity for pre-ordained judgements based on your species or rank within the court. The court was topped by the royal sidhe, who, though multicolored, were the most human-esque creatures of either court. The sidhe were also of the highest standing and were essentially, the Aristocracy of the Fae.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77t0Kw3mkw 維尼
The sidhe existed in the Unseelie court as well, though they were not always the most admired. Royalty of the various sub-courts and other Fae of high standing ruled in this particular court. The Unseelie were known for being the more accepting of the courts as they would accept the cast-off of the Seelie.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEhuiKmb0d 維尼
But if any Fae were cast-off from the Unseelie court they were excluded from either of the major courts.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33lU3lSWA9 維尼
The next to descend was Hecate. She burned to ash as she fell to earth and then reformed from her own ashes. She was a woman bourne of the pure essence of magick and so when she reunited with Darla, seized the domain over witches. She became their Goddess and their mother, providing the witches with her cunning and astute mind.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvx6w1t1KC 維尼
Together, she led her daughters to pools of knowledge, that they used to even their odds against the other races. For the witches were not as physical as others, focusing their energy on the metaphysical. They aided the other races when they sought information and when they required the help of a magic user.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7N6AgVB4m 維尼
The daughters of Hecate were talented, this was true, but they lacked the... durability of any other race. Though they would transition in life, they were much more prone to face death than any of the other species. So their mother sought to hide them away, in plain sight if you will.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUh9rVzkUJ 維尼
Hecate, together with Darla then created a lesser species. They were less inclined physically and magically, but they were known for their emotions over anything else. They enraptured the other races, for their responses to the Children's actions and for their brilliant resilience.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2932H2vY0e 維尼
They called them humans, and the few that inhabited the Homeland inspired other races with the tales of their lives that were spread by the Witches who had been reborn into other worlds, worlds that were located in what would be called the Primalverse.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡroKoP4jc7D 維尼
Then the last of the Ancients fell, a girl named Aria. She was known as girl for her childlike body preference and her destructive uncomprehending mindset. Darla, not seeing how incapable her baby sister was, gave her control of the demonic entities.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxs1m4q92R 維尼
The demonic entities organized under their own leaders, and the governments became collectively known as the Demonarchies, and they caused fear in the hearts of mortals such as humanity. But there was no room in the Homeland for them to exist peacefully. So Darla, combined with all of the Ancients save Markus and Aria, created what the races of the Homeworld would call the Primalverse, giving the demonic races planes to live upon .8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vLwA5YisT 維尼
This Primalverse was fearsome and dangerous, but nothing the Children could not bear, so they travelled over it's worlds and planes and all that it could offer. For immortality was a curse in that they could never experience such things as purpose like humanity could. So they sought entertainment, entertainment that caused destruction to the inhabitants of the worlds within the Primalverse, inadvertently at times, purposefully at others, ending the lives of countless people.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mTQELzv4N 維尼
They caused Chaos, and it only worsened when the Ancients departed existence at times, going where no one else had, only to come back sometimes decades, or centuries, or even millenniums later.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HiFk6l3PH 維尼
Tensions came to a peak when Darla slew Aria, drawing the ire of Markus, who had mated the childish Ancient. The demonarchies, not reliant on their Ancient, failed to care, but the Lycan acted under Markus, and he attacked the vampires and shifters.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgbqijqfMd 維尼
So the remaining Ancients allied together against the threat, for the Lycan had grown out of bounds and had become too powerful in Markus' lust for it.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXUWhxzE4I 維尼
And so the war progressed, till it turned to a standstill when the Ancients abandoned their creations. But tensions have not lessened in the time that they have been gone, and some have chosen to act, sending the Homeland into chaos, managed only by the eldest Children.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b202sbzld 維尼
So the eldest have searched for answers, for any that they can find to rid themselves of the threat that faces the Allied Family.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pryv1sgXD 維尼
But while the quest for answers is real, so is the need for people to discover them. Those that live to find those answers are dying out, however. Hunted by the dreadful Unknown, the Unknown that finds those who are themselves unknown to even their friends.8964 copyright protection394ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11fEKC5GNe 維尼
