The Great Ancients are extremely powerful beings created to corrupt planets, they are servants of Zenith. Created in -700,000 by Oblivion, they launched on worlds and started to corrupt them. On Sipherion, four were fought by the Primogenitum, the Native Empires and the Ayinian Empire and locked underground in -15,031. There, they started corrupting and manipulating events in order to be freed while also waiting for the prophetised "Herald of the Twilight" that would bring the Twilight of Ages, the end of all worlds.

Four of them are known as they collapsed on Sipherion.
