Long before modern civilization emerged, humanity had undergone six great cycles—each one a chapter in a vast, cosmic saga of creation, ascension, and destruction. These cycles, each marked by a rise to technological, spiritual, or intellectual prominence, ended in catastrophic downfalls, often triggered by internal corruption, natural disasters, or intervention from otherworldly forces.
First Cycle: The Dawn of Consciousness
From the earliest age, humans were little more than primal beings, living in harmony with nature. But as they evolved, they began to unlock the mysteries of the universe. This first cycle was one of awakening, where the first seeds of civilization were planted. Simple societies emerged, guided by a deep connection to the earth and the stars. But this cycle ended abruptly in an era of massive climate shifts, forcing these early humans to retreat into obscurity, leaving behind only traces of their early innovations.
Second Cycle: The Age of Magic and Mysticism
In the second cycle, humanity discovered the mystical forces of the world. They learned to channel energy from nature, the elements, and even the stars, using powers that modern humans would consider magical. This was an age of spiritual enlightenment, where humans communed with unseen forces, learning to shape reality itself. But as they grew in power, many became corrupted, using their gifts to dominate others. This cycle ended when a great rift was torn between the realms of spirit and matter, causing a catastrophic collapse of both worlds.
The third cycle was marked by the rise of the Giants, a race of towering beings who once walked the earth alongside humans. These Giants were said to possess immense strength and wisdom, building vast cities that touched the heavens. Humans lived under their guidance, learning from them and benefiting from their knowledge. However, as the Giants became more dominant, conflicts erupted between them and humans. A great war ensued, and the cycle ended with the fall of the Giants, their civilizations crumbling into ruins as humanity scattered once again into simpler forms of living.
Fourth Cycle: The Age of Atlantis
The fourth cycle gave rise to Atlantis, a beacon of human achievement. Atlantis was a highly advanced civilization, both technologically and spiritually. Its people mastered the secrets of the universe, developing hyper-dimensional technologies and even beginning to time travel. They constructed towering high-rise buildings that rivaled the heavens, and their society flourished with both scientific advancements and spiritual wisdom.
But as their power grew, so did their arrogance. The Atlanteans, under the influence of the dark goddess Alamak, sought to control the very fabric of reality, opening portals to other dimensions and playing with forces beyond their understanding. In doing so, they unleashed chaos upon themselves. The fall of Atlantis marked the end of the fourth cycle—a lesson that too much power, especially when driven by corruption, would lead to destruction.
Fifth Cycle: The Age of War and Fire
In the fifth cycle, humanity split into warring factions. As remnants of Atlantis spread across the earth, new nations rose with knowledge salvaged from the fallen empire. The Atlantean survivors, the Lemarians, sought to establish a new order based on spiritual purity and mental power, while other factions clung to the old ways of technological dominance. These conflicts escalated into wars fought with weapons capable of shaping the very landscape, culminating in an era of fire and destruction.
The cycle ended in a global cataclysm, where entire continents were swallowed by the oceans or reduced to ash by the forces of war. The Lemarians, who had retreated to their island sanctuaries, survived but vowed never to allow humanity to walk this path again. With the knowledge of Atlantis and the wars lost, humanity was thrown into a dark age, where the remnants of advanced civilizations were forgotten.
Sixth Cycle: The Age of Rebirth and the Divine
The sixth cycle marked the rebirth of humanity, but this time, with a focus on spiritual ascension rather than technological progress. Small, isolated societies emerged, focused on achieving inner peace, higher consciousness, and mental power over the material world. The survivors of the earlier cycles believed that technology had become the downfall of humanity, and thus, they rejected it in favor of spiritual wisdom.
The Lemarians, who had preserved the spiritual teachings of Atlantis, became the guiding force in this new age. They believed that through spiritual purity and the honing of the mind’s powers, humanity could break the cycle of destruction and corruption that had defined the previous ages. However, as they ascended spiritually, whispers of old evils, such as the influence of Alamak and Mortara, began to stir once more. The balance between the material and the spiritual was delicate, and even in this age of rebirth, the seeds of chaos and death still lingered.
