In Ashes of Creation there is a primary antagonist that exists within the overarching storyline and these antagonists are The Ancients. When the Apocalypse occurred and the Harbingers arrived in on Verra and those conduits opened from the center of those Harbingers, the Ancients flowed out of these Harbingers and started really conquering the Verran planet. But more importantly their desire was to essentially manipulate and pervert the creation of the gods as an affront to their endeavors; and in doing so they created monstrosities essentially any portion of nature just was completely manipulated by their corruption, which is the negative aspect of Essence.[2] – Steven Sharif
Long ago, the world of Verra was besieged by a great calamity (also called the Fall, the Apocalypse, and the Exodus), brought about by the primary antagonists of the world: The Ancients and The Others.[2][3]
- The apocalypse began with comet-like celestial bodies called Harbingers arriving on Verra. The Ancients flowed out of the conduits that opened at the center of the Harbingers and started conquering the planet.[2]
- Their desire was to pervert the creation of the gods (the Seven) as an affront to their endeavors; and in doing so they created monstrosities by manipulating nature with corruption, which is the negative aspect of The Essence.[2][4]
Granted by divine intervention from the Goddess of Creation[5], much of the population fled Verra through towering gateways, seeking refuge in a world void of magic.[1] The world of Sanctus.[6]
- Some unlucky citizens didn't quite make it through the gateways in time and fell back to the planet to fight for survival.[7] This underpinned the lore behind the Ashes of Creation Apocalypse battle royale mode.[8]
Soon after the exodus, the gateways dimmed and became dormant. Centuries turned to millennia, burying them beneath myriad calamities. Over eons, history became legend, then even the great legends were at last forgotten.[1]
The Tulnar is a combination of four major races and many minor races that were left behind on Verra after the apocalypse.[9][10][11]
