The First Council

The First Council was a collection of the oldest races who oversaw all of Existence. Established billions of year ago the council brought order and stability the all of known existence carefully guiding all things towards balance.

## History

The true origin is lost to time but legend tell that the Time Lords were the first civilization to rise and it was them who first traveled existence uniting the race they encountered into a common cause an ideal peaceful existence. The Council lasted for untold billions of years and myths say that under it all of existence was utopia, but this would not last. The Destruction of the First Council was known to the Time Lords eons before it began, the time lords themselves having learned of the Prophecies from their use of the Time Vortex. The Prophecies foretold of the Councils destruction through six events, events which each of the Mantle holders tried to prevent but were ultimately unable to.

#### **Great Time War**

the First of the Prophecies told of a Great time war between the Time Lords and Daleks, a war fought across all of time and space where innumerable numbers of people world dimension and timelines would die be resurrected die again and a gain for eternity ultimately climaxing in the destruction of both the Time Lords and Daleks.

#### **The Great Evil**

The 1st Great Evil appears from outside existence, driven to end all existence it brings with it destruction and creates hell and demons in its wake. It destroys the Ring Builders and much of their dimensional network and creations before its defeat.

#### **War in Heaven**

The War in heaven foretold the destruction of the old ones at the hands of the C'tan and Necrontyr, and would cause the Enslaver Plague which would wipe out nearly all sentient life in existence. The war would last millions of years and would destroy the Old Ones and force the Necrons and C'tan into slumber.

#### **Enslaver Plague**

The War in Heaven drew entities know as the Enslavers into existence who enslaved and fed on sentient life until it was nearly extinct, through unknown means the were destroyed by the Predecessors

#### **The Betrayals**

The Betrayals foretold that when the Predecessors were the last of the council they would be betrayed by the races that once served them, this came to pass when the Forerunners and Humanity turned on them to seize control for themselves destroying the Predecessors and creating the Flood.
