Timeline
61,000 Years Ago, the Primordials inhabit an empty sandbox. They are alone in their exploration of space, and they take full advantage of this; its secrets become theirs. Prior to them, the universe had lived in harmony, with the Ancient Ones preferring to remain where they originated. What the Primordials’ fate was is one of the great mysteries of the void.
