Ky'ian Adrak

The burst of arcane energy released by the Circle of Nine gave substance and structure to this new universe but the energy was chaotic and in a constant state of highly unstable fluctuation. In this closed universe there was a tremendous level of high entropy of arcane energy. Over time the first things to form a consistent manifestation were beings known as the Ky'ian Adrak. They were formless self-aware entities that arose from the overwhelming arcane energy of creation.   Alone in the void of the early universe the first of the Ky'ian Adrak became self-aware. Looking into the vast emptiness it could only determine that this endless chaos was itself. Its first thought was “This am I.” In time however, more of these self-aware entities took form each looking into the dark and coming to the same realization. As these formless beings traveled the void they began to encounter one another. When they did so, a new thought occurred to them. They saw other self-aware beings that had spring from the void that they had previously concluded was what they themselves were and while they still acknowledged the idea of “This am I” in relation to these otherKy'ian Adrak there were obvious differences in thoughts and perceptions. As such, they sought a way to understand themselves and each other. As the chaos of creation began to subside into order (something they are partially responsible for) they watched with great interest and curiosity the development of mortal beings and their less evolved levels of consciousness.   The Ky'ian Adrak are still technically present in the universe, content with an existence of endless contemplation of matters that mortal minds simply cannot fathom. However, for their own reasons, they will appear in exceedingly rare instances to mortals, taking different forms. These manifestations are sources of wonder and awe to those who behold them. Their ultimate goals and agendas are not understandable by mortal minds. They sometimes seems contradictory, or fickle, malicious, beneficent, overbearing or totally absent but in truth what they are doing is trying to understand lesser, awakened minds as well as how they can still influence their universe, the other Ky’ain Adratch and the mortal mind. As their nature is pure consciousness that recognizes itself as just that, these beings have no need for the politicking and strife that beings mortals know as Gods succumb to. Their ultimate goal is simply to understand.   The exact number of Ky'ian Adrak is unknown and to early mortals they seemed to be at odds with one another. However, it is their mortal misinterpretation of the affairs of higher conscious beings trying to understand the overwhelming complexity of these ancient conscious minds. In other words, the underlying monad of the universe has just started to understand and experience itself.   There was a time, in the ancient past where they were known to grant powers seemingly at random or via complex rituals or as a reward for a sacrifice of some kind. They would occasionally speak and give instruction to mortals or like minded groups of mortals, though their individual goals sometimes seemed to conflict. Mortals interpreted the interaction with these forces of higher consciousness as a religious experience. Their “orders” or “divine insight and guidance” and bestowment of powers to those that these entities communicate with are the their way of testing the waters and trying to understand their own relation to the other Ky’ain Adratch, the lesser minds of mortals, their impact, affect, effect and influence over their immediate mote of the universe as well as the universe as a whole.   This interaction created a wide variety of primitive religious systems. The Ky'ian Adrak in time found that their messages were often being confused. Mortal minds are not equipped to deal with their level of thought. They are of a higher order of conscious beings and since mortal minds cannot handle direct interaction, their messages are passed along in the imperfect languages of mortals as well as through images, dreams, insights, visions, etc. that are often misunderstood or misinterpreted by mortals who act according to those errors and misjudgments which causes far more harm than was intended, thus the intervention of a Ky'ian Adrak is essentially unheard of in the modern era. Ever changing, constantly evolving and learning these beings are and will forever be operating at a much higher level of consciousness.   Lost Civilizations came and went. Their minds looked for sources of strength, protection, understanding of their world and a means of relating to and integrating with that world mirrored by their own forms and working with the sum of their knowledge of their world up to that point. They created gods as icons of specific forces, values ideals and spheres of influence. This was a very early, very primitive effort by Ky'ian Adrak to manifest themselves and exert their influence over mortal, finite beings and minds.
