The Ancients are a group of powerful and mysterious entities known to the Awoken.
Overview
The nature of the Ancients is unclear, but they refer to themselves as being "the nothing-space fabric," and appear to be intimately connected to the space within which the Dreaming City is located.
History
The Ancients are known to have contacted Awoken civilization at least once, after the construction of the Dreaming City. On this occasion, they took possession of three Techeuns, including Kelda Wadj, and addressed Queen Mara Sov.[1]
