When the Gods died, their essence formed beings of pure energy that became known as [[entities]]. Entities form on Aetherius without personalities, memories, or distinct powers, and their primary focus in the early days of the Age of Mortality was to explore the world around them. It just so happened that, at the same time, mortals began to organize themselves around concepts, ideals, and faiths once again. It had been several years since the death of the Gods, but that longing to belong to something bigger than yourself is present in many people, and so [[cults]] began to form. | |||
At first, cults seemed to resemble Divine Orders - a group dedicated to the protection of the weak and the innocent invoked the name of Protector, perhaps a nod to the fallen [[Vahin]] - but soon began to embrace larger, more complex ideals. These ideals began to attract the attention of the entities, who were becoming more familiar with the world. Many entities attached themselves to a cult and became something like a figurehead for the group, and as the cults grew in size and status, so too did the entities. | |||
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]]. | |||
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. | 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.
