Ancients

In the days before the Flood the world was shaped by the Ancients to fit their image of prosperity. They covered the Earth with their grand cities, which were filled with towers that scraped the skies above. The Ancients could reach any point in the world in their flying chariots within one day, they could also communicate directly with people on the opposite ends of their world, which was much smaller than it is today.

The Ancients were comprised of the various nations with different cultures but were all unified by their advanced technology and yearn for production. The Ancients eventually got so used to their constant comfort that they became numbed to the havoc and destruction their lifestyles had on the world. Their massive factories spewed demonic gasses into the heavens, poisoning the fragile skies above them. The Archivists plead to their Princes to cease their apathy for towards the state of their world, but were not only ignored, but mocked.

Eventually the sky could not take humanity torment any longer, and a great hole was tore into its very fabric above. This thin fabric was the only thing protecting the world from the intensity of the Suns rays. They bombarded Earth for several years, reducing once green fields into deserts of salt. The great glaciers of the far north and south quickly melted away into the seas, which slowly swallowing the worlds coastal lands. Most of the Ancients great cities were swallowed by the sea, the ones that were not were promptly abandoned by their residents, who were now devolving back to tribalism and fighting for their very survival.

Now all that can be seen of the Ancients are their massive ruins of the once great cities they built. Now they are used as salvage grounds by the new civilizations of the earth, which base their entire lives around the various influences of the ancient past still ingrained in society in the form of religions and societies. The Religion known as Archivism works to preserve the knowledge and Books of the Ancients, in hope that they may one day launch the re-enlightenment and save the world from its present ignorance.
