Some elders whisper that the Ancients—incomprehensible invaders, sinister fragments of the Mad Moon, timeless and forever doomed to fight—have always existed and will always exist.

Some elders whisper that the Ancients are unfathomable intruders, sinister shards of the Mad Moon, beyond the grasp of time and forever doomed to battle—existing and destined to exist always. According to the estimates of other elders, the Ancients have been around for roughly a decade; it all depends on which forest wizard you consult. In any case, we prefer the elders with a clear stance and round numbers. The tales surrounding the Ancients are shrouded in mystery, and their very essence seems to defy the laws of the universe as we know them. Some say they emerged from the remnants of a shattered reality, fragments of a time long past, while others believe they are manifestations of the collective fears and hopes of all living beings. The truth lies somewhere in the shadows, obscured by the passage of time and the dense foliage of the ancient woods. As we delve deeper into these legends, we find that the Ancients are often depicted as guardians of balance, standing on the thin line between creation and destruction. They are said to wield powers that can bend the very fabric of reality, shaping the world according to their will. However, this power comes at a cost. The tales caution that the Ancients are not to be trifled with, for their wrath can be as devastating as their benevolence is profound.

The forest wizards, those wise and enigmatic figures, play a crucial role in this narrative. They serve as the intermediaries between the mortal realm and the enigmatic forces of the Ancients. Each wizard possesses unique insights, passed down through generations, offering their own interpretation of the Ancients’ nature and purpose. Some wizards speak of a time when the Ancients walked among mortals, sharing their wisdom and knowledge, while others warn of the dangers inherent in invoking their names. Despite the conflicting accounts, one thing remains clear: the Ancients invoke a sense of awe and reverence. Their existence challenges our understanding of reality, prompting us to question the very nature of time and existence. Are they mere figments of imagination, or do they represent something far greater, lurking just beyond the veil of our perception? The allure of the Ancients has not only captivated the minds of the elders but has also inspired countless tales, songs, and artworks. They have become a symbol of the unknown, a reminder that there are forces at play in the universe that exceed our understanding. This fascination fuels our desire to explore the mysteries of life, to seek knowledge in the uncharted territories of our own existence.
