A highly advanced civilization that once ruled this world. They built technological masterpieces that greatly surpass even the present day technology made by the many modern races and could be considered god-like by today's people. The "Ancients," or citizens of the Ancient Age, prospered throughout the world, but suddenly, their entire civilization mysteriously disappeared approximately 12,000 years ago.
Records of the true identity of the Ancients, as well as the reason for their disappearance, remain a mystery, so the people of the world can only speak of them as myths and legends. However, the Ancients left vast ruins and highly advanced technology behind, and with each discovery, a new piece of the puzzle is put in place.
And though the Ancient Age is long gone, there are many reminders left in the world of their existence. Many functioning ruins left behind are scattered throughout the world, perfectly preserved through the ravages of time. Holding secrets and power unknown to the modern world.
