[[Xyl]], a Thinker in the [[ | [[Xyl]], a Thinker in the [[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 [[First Circle|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 of Magnora|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]]. | ||

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.

Another Soulless soon infiltrated the First World - [[Crazen]], the Greedy - and the Golden Circle found Themselves at the forefront of battle with Him.

The Golden Circle were the members of the Second Circle who found the most favour with the First Circle, when there had been so many more of Them. [[Hajamin]], [[Morgfyre]], [[Krokano]], [[Terentia]], and Orlachmar were the Golden Ones, and they chased Crazen throughout the underground caverns of [[Dahkra'kai]], Their relentless attacks drawing Him closer and closer to the surface. Crazen had a special ability, though; He was a hideous mass of gelatinous ooze that could reform itself into the shape of those beings He had devoured. | ||
It was because of this trick that Krokano found himself on the verge of death. Crazen appeared in the form of [[Thalrinda]], a member of the Fourth Circle, and distracted the Elder God. In close combat with the Soulless God, Krokano was blinded. He was brought before [[Malmydia]], a Hamadhi known for Her experiments in the area of healing. Krokano withstood a battery of harsh, demanding experiments which ultimately restored His sight, but left Him to bear witness to Malmydia and Fain's close collaborations. In time, it was revealed that She was using His elixir in Her experiments, despite the vote that had ruled against its use forevermore. | It was because of this trick that Krokano found himself on the verge of death.
