Quintacians

"*The Quintacians are all but spent, with only their strongest still remaining. As we push into the final Sol system, you all will be crucial. Their war efforts must be crippled, their leaders dealt with.*"
—High Imperator Antalis
The **Quintacians** are one of the oldest and most powerful races in the universe, notable for their intense magick ability and reality manipulation powers. They alongside the Karonians were the main two races which fought in the Eon Wars against Exarch. A Quintacian's affinity for altering reality exponentially increases over time and as such, they become a true force to be reckoned with as they age. Once they begin to develop a strong enough connection to physically alter reality a Quintacian is referred to as a **Star God**. For all their strength the birth of a new Quintacian is a tough feat, with no natural childbirth occurring as in other races. This is achieved through a ritual requiring a Quintacian to serve as a donor of genetic material.

Quintacians in their earlier days expanded across universes, with some arriving in Shard-1138 among others. Contact between Quintacian splinters was lost soon when Exarch began to police interdimensional travel.

## History

### The Eon Wars

Observing another race of similar genetic strength, the Karonians, the Quintacians forged an alliance which took the notice of Exarch. Following a rapid expansion of the Karonian Empire peace talks eventually broke down after a fight broke out between an Exarch squad and some Quintacian Aspirants. This brought the sides to war, a war which shook all of the Multiverse, as the entire strength of Exarch was brought to challenge the two powers.

The war raged on and following the death of the Karonian High Lord and Azthol, the Quintacian's eldest Star God, peace was no longer a possibility. The war turned to hell.

## Quintacian Culture

Quintacians are people of heritage, age is less of a concern for them being they have such a long lifespan. Through this the eldest among them demand respect and have the skills to prove this. Their culture is a hierarchy of chronology, being that the older you are the more influence you hold.

* **Aspirant** - The newest and youngest Quintacians are aspirants, they posses enhanced durability and can perform basic magickal attacks and defenses but are not a direct threat on the battlefield.
* **Sage** - Sages are equivalent to most races strongest sorcerers, being commanders on any battlefield. Sages fight exclusively with magick and are heavily adaptable.
* **Warrior Priest** - With unmatched magickal ability, the Warrior Priests were an elite sect of Quintacians who were the ambassadors of the Star Gods. Be it summoning entire armies of constructs or raining down fire from the skies across a battlefield, the Warrior Priests are only second to their masters.

### Star Gods

With centuries of experience and exposure to reality, a handful of Quintacians ascend to become something greater. The Star Gods are figures of legend within their culture, once unlike any other of their race, but then worshipped by their young and acting as the leaders of the Quintacians. Their powers are far greater than other Quintacians.
