[edit] History Before Waizz (BW)
[edit] Events Prior to the 1st Century BW
- Several Hundred Million Years BW - In an unspecified solar system, a spiritual being splits itself into two halves. These two separate beings begin to battle for unknown reasons.
- c. BW 2,000,000 - The war is settled. As a result of the victorious side (The Great Light) sealing the defeated side (The Profound Darkness) away, and a great seal of one fixed star and 3 planets are created. "Protectors of the Seal" are made on each planet, the Parmanians, Dezolisians, and motavians. A 4th world, Rykros is created, to serve as a cyclical reminder to the Protectors of their duty. The Light leaves a guardian being, Le Roof, to await on Rykros.
- c. BW 300,000 -. Except on the fourth planet, Rykros, the beings of the other three planets, with the passing of each successive generation, begin to forget the mission of those made Protectors. Meanwhile, in their interdimensional prison, the Profound Darkness waits and seethes.
