The Forge of Afterlives above Zereth Mortis.Īccording to the broker Al'firim's interpretations of the First Ones' writings, the cosmos began with six forces (or possibly a different number) existing in opposition to each other until they came together (or were brought together) and gave form to a design. One of their recurring symbols is that of a coiled serpent, which is believed by broker scholars to be a representation of "their infinite cycle". They and their servants-the automa-speak a complex runic language that is incomprehensible to most mortals. The First Ones' magic and architecture are so advanced that they resemble mathematics, and are characterized by geometric fractals and patterns. The First Ones are shrouded in mystery, and very little is known for certain about them: it is unknown when they first walked the cosmos, whether they still do, or if their existence ended ages ago. They conceived and put in place the six governing forces of reality- Light, Void, Order, Disorder, Life, and Death-as well as the pantheons that embody them-such as the Pantheon of Order and Pantheon of Death-and the realms that they inhabit. The First Ones (also known as the Progenitors) are enigmatic godlike beings who shaped the cosmos and the fabric of all realities. “A fragment of a word here, a bit of geometry there-for all the vast knowledge we brokers possess, compared to the First Ones we are like gormlings at the feet of the Winter Queen.”
