[[Xyl]], a Thinker in the [[:Category:Fifth Circle of the Divine|Fifth Circle]] was the first to bring together His siblings and colleagues to discuss the movement of the Soulless across the Void. Xyl brought the concerns of the FIfth Circle to a meeting of the [[:Category:First Circle of the Divine|Firsts]] and it was decided, though not without some controversy, that a majority of the First Circle would venture out into the Void to meet the Heralds in peace. In an attempt to learn more about the Heralds, the Firsts tasked Xyl, [[Tae]], and [[Bollikin]] with finding Dracnoris and seeking His advice, as He had a close bond with one of the Soulless, [[Draxbaylock|Draxbaylock the Black]]. | [[Xyl]], a Thinker in the [[:Category:Fifth Circle of the Divine|Fifth Circle]] was the first to bring together His siblings and colleagues to discuss the movement of the Soulless across the Void.

quote="As we gathered to transverse to the Divine Havens where the First Circle gathered, I glanced at the divine chess board that was left forgotten. Without Raezon or Roark controlling the game, the pieces had attacked each other in a frenzied melee. Nothing was left of them except a smear of blood and gore."| | |||

Awakening the Dragon God took a great amount of time, patience, and effort, though. In the meantime, the Firsts sent out their diplomatic envoys. Back in the cave where Dracnoris slumbered, Tae and Bollikin passed the time by creating the rockeaters, which inadvertently became the very thing that would bring Dracnoris out of hibernation. As Xyl explained Their purpose for waking Him, Dracnoris suddenly took flight, furious that the Firsts were attempting to meet the Heralds in peace. He understood better than anyone that the nature of the Soulless was simple - to destroy and consume all that They encountered. | Awakening the Dragon God took a great amount of time, patience, and effort, though.

quote=“Reality exists to experience itself. The smaller the awareness, the greater the experience. That is what the Fates await for. To see if reality survives long enough to narrow its own awareness, to see if the strands of consciousness become fine enough so they could weave them together.”| | |||

During the same time period in which Xyl and Tae attempted to awaken Dracnoris, another contingent of Elders were sent to consult with another Primal God, [[Keph]] of a Thousand Eyes. [[Shikari]] and [[Viravain]], sibling-mates, volunteered to track Keph down and brought [[Mugowumpois]] and [[Tauro]] with Them. They traveled deep within the [[Undervault]] and found Keph in a meeting with [[the Fates]], and She did not wish to be disturbed. Tauro stood His ground, though, which earned Him the favour of Keph and She decided to humour Him with what She knew of the Heralds. In addition to information about the Heralds, Keph relayed many predictions of the future to Mugowumpois, which She recorded in what would be known as the [[Verses of Magnora]]. | During the same time period in which Xyl and Tae attempted to awaken Dracnoris, another contingent of Elders were sent to consult with another Primal God, [[Keph]] of a Thousand Eyes.
