Long ago, there was a civilization now lost to history. People now call them the Ascendants, though they are not often on peoples’ minds. They are believed to once have been be the first to harness the deep laws of magic and learned to harness it with a skill unseen today. Their powers were unchecked and grew, pushed beyond bound after bound until they nearly destroyed the world time and again, each time pulled back from the brink at the last second. This cycle ended with a cataclysmic war when a pact was finally made and the Ascendents left the world to heal itself.
Those that left departed to worlds of their own creations, while those on the losing side have been lost to time. The Ascendents are still worshipped and sometimes send aid to followers who are devout.
