Ancients

## The Ancients

The Ancients were the original inhabitants of Aprya. They were masters of science and made significant advancements during their time in Aprya. Their notable achievements include the creation of both the Imperfect and Perfect Immortality Beacons, along with the ability to vaguely predict the future. They fled the continent shortly before the meteor strike, taking most of their inventions with them.

### Leaving the Continent

The Ancients left the continent 3 years before the meteor strike. They sailed north from Vassport, landing on the island of Dakau. From there they journeyed even further north, finding the Moonlands. A few Ancients returned to the continent in the centuries after their departure.

### The Moonguard

The Ancients enforced their borders and ensured they would not be followed to the Moonlands through the Moonguard. It was a section of the Ancient's military, which patrolled the sea between Dakau and the Moonlands. They were the only known Ancients who ventured into the mortal realms. Their main objective was to prevent anybody and anything from travelling past Dakau and to the Moonlands.
