| It was a time of powerful magic, unbelievable miracles, and within the [[Shadow Realms]] the [[creatures:Sha’rek’ta]]. These beings, now only called [[The Ancients]] created a realm full of life during their existence within this realm. These powerful beings were born from the small bits of creation that were trapped within the Shadow Realms. They traveled throughout the Shadow Realms mastering the power they had been given, but unlike those before them (see [[gods]] or [[Titans]]), they tempered it with both humility and wisdom. They looked upon the Outer [[Realms]] (see [[Divine Realms]] and [[Infernal Realms]]) saw those beings for what they truly are - vowing never to repeat their mistakes. | It was a time of powerful magic, unbelievable miracles, and within the [[Shadow Realms]] the [[creatures:Sha’rek’ta]].

| For the people of Miranda the story is mostly unbelievable legend for there has been no true definitive work that tells of the last days of these ancients. Most scholarly work points to a number of ruins that suggest there was a Great War between a people unlike any that currently live upon these lands; however, others argue that is the result of years of grave robbing and desecration of what little still exists. | For the people of Miranda the story is mostly unbelievable legend for there has been no true definitive work that tells of the last days of these ancients.

| - | Linus Torinu, and [[atlas:Irill|Irillian]] scholar, did the best work during the 20th year of [[people:Caesar Augustus]] (Irillian calendar). He refers to the ancients by the more proper title Sha’rek’ta, which means “First People” in the old words of power. He writes that the Sha’rek’ta were threatened by a great cataclysm that blanketed the heavens and shook the earth. For a thousand years they used their power to sustain their life, but it was all for naught. As the power slowly depleted, the people that could defy nature itself succumbed to eternal slumber. | + | Linus Torinu, and scholar from the [[atlas:Irillian Empire]], did the best work during the 20th year of [[people:Caesar Augustus]] (Irillian calendar).

| In later works Linus states that several of the Sha’rek’ta could have escaped their fate by fleeing into the outer realms, thereby becoming the gods and devils. However, this is considered by many religious people to border on blasphemy. | In later works Linus states that several of the Sha’rek’ta could have escaped their fate by fleeing into the outer realms, thereby becoming the gods and devils.
