Legend has it that in the ancient era, many races existed, and wars between them never ceased. Of them all, the human race suffered the most.
The humans, surviving in the cracks between other races, found hope when three figures appeared. Later generations called them the Dao Ancestor, the Immortal Ancestor, and the Buddha Ancestor.
They led humanity to heights beyond reach, but what followed was the rumored era of the Great Cataclysm.
The details are now impossible to verify. Only one saying has survived: "Calamity arose amid reincarnation, for there was a path to immortality."
The Dao Ancestor sealed the whole story away in the world where the Great Cataclysm erupted. The Dao Realm calls it the Forsaken Land.
