Soon, the [[Sect of Conquest|Cult of Conquest]] became the first of the cults to achieve a significant amount of power and prestige in addition to attracting an entity. In the year 6 AM, [[Zhiash]] gathered followers of Conquest in the [[Areish Mountains]] at the cult's altar. A blood rite was performed, resulting in the transformation of Zhiash into [[Hastati]], the first of the [[Ascendari]].

Cults were energized by this event, each wishing to raise their collective faith and belief to the level in which an entity would join them, too. Soon after Zhiash's transformation, [[Omyedhi]] was drawn to the [[Sect of the Eternal Flame|Cult of the Eternal Flame]] and became [[Samaos]], the Dread Flame. The following year, mortals learned that the entities could consume one another and gain the strength and wisdom of the victim - the entity known as [[Paesa]] swallowed up [[Qinlan]] and then [[Ronol]], leaving their cults defeated and broken.
Cults were energized by this event, each wishing to raise their collective faith and belief to the level in which an entity would join them - the subsequent decades would be marked by [[Entities (timeline)|the rise and fall of these entities]].
 
The [[Sect of the Wild Hunt|Cult of the Wild Hunt]] was the next to achieve the status of Sect, raising [[Zarah]] up to Ascendari and becoming [[Isra]], the Wild Huntress. The hungry Paesa was lured by members of the [[Sect of the Leechwood|Cult of the Leechwood]] into the [[Al'drym Woods]] in the middle of the year 8 AM, who deceived her with claims of boundless power for her to consume. In reality, they sought the energy for themselves and Paesa was sapped dry by the Leechwood, and the [[Diabolus]] named [[Olanre]] rose in her place.
 
New entities would continue to be born and then have their life snuffed out over the coming years: [[Osila]] was born in the year 15 AM, as was [[Svorai]] in the following year. In the year 21 AM, the [[Sect of the Rashirmir|Rashirmir Cult]] became a Sect and raised the entitity [[Binoud]] into [[Dianos]], the [[morphae]]. In 23 AM, the entity known as [[Cadra]] took a mortal vessel, the Archknight Arnatta - she would later become the diabolus [[Nyrohi]]. A decade later, in the year 32 AM, Hastati, the first ascendari, murdered Dianos in the temple of Rashirmir, provoking the ire of Svorai. The two entities battled and in the end, Hastati died and its essence was released into the world again.
