ARCHIVE NODE: 001 // GENESIS // CYCLES 001-150
In the era known as the Great Scattering, our people were lost. Cast adrift in the endless void, they fled from the Age of Discord, a time when the galaxy was consumed by chaos and silence. There was no unity, no purpose, only the desperate struggle to survive in the cold darkness between the stars.
The Luminary | The First Mother
Valeria was a Navigator of the old fleets, but her eyes saw beyond the physical charts. Through the static of deep space, she received a Divine Vision. The Light called to her as a feeling, a promise of sanctuary waiting beyond the veil of the unknown.
Guided by this celestial pull, she gathered the scattered remnants of humanity to form the First Pilgrimage. They turned their ships toward the light and made the jump into destiny.
SACRED ARCHIVE: VALERIA'S PRAYER
"The shadows lengthen, but my spirit burns. The void seeks to claim us, but I feel the warmth of a distant sun upon my face. It calls to us. We go now, not into the dark, but into the Dawn."
Upon exiting the void, the Pilgrims arrived at Trinitara Sanctus. There, aligned in perfect harmony, burned the Holy Trinity of stars:
Beneath their light lay the paradise world of Celestium Solis. The unique radiation of the three suns shrouded the planet in a protective celestial radiance, hiding it from the eyes of the darkness. Here, the Dominion would be born.
We did not burrow into the dirt like those who fear the sky. Under Valeria's command, we built Upward. On the surface of Celestium Solis, the foundation of the Capital City, Empyrea, was laid.
The first monument to rise was the Radiant Spire. Constructed from the sacred stone of the planet, it stood as a testament to our resolve. We were no longer refugees; we were the Dominion.
Located in the crypts of the modern Radiant Spire. It bears the first inscription of the Dominion: "Here we plant our feet. Here we raise our eyes. Here we are the Light."
