Contents[]
A book from Anjali's opening character cutscene. It may not necessary be ''the'' "Archons: Legend or Truth?", but it ''does'' tell about the Archons.
According to the oldest stories, archons were spirits of fire, shaped by the creator gods. They served the old gods as messengers and heralds, communing with mortals on the gods’ behalf. The tales describe them as female, usually bearing a staff or a spear, with eyes of brilliant flame.
At the dawn of the First Age, the creator gods tumbled from the heavens, but the archons seem to have outlived their masters, if the old accounts can be believed. They were said to wander the divine and mortal realms, seeking their lost gods. Ancient stories describe meetings between archons and humans, in which an archon helps a human right a wrong or passes judgment upon a human for a particularly wicked act. In a few rare stories, an archon falls in love with a human male…but those stories almost never end well.
The Stellar Emperors revered the archons, viewing them as god-ancestors of the Imperial line. Empress Iansha—who united the Ilion tribes and founded the Empire of Stars—was believed to be the offspring of an archon and a tribal chief. All the later emperors claimed descent from her—and thus from an archon, as well.
