Overview
Ancient Hermits were practitioners of the ancient age who dedicated themselves to the study and development of Taba, Patterns, and Taba Cores. Their mastery reached a level that no individual in the modern era has been able to match.
They were neither a kingdom nor a military force, and they were not affiliated with any particular race. Although they maintained relationships with Deva, Asura, and other races throughout different eras, the Ancient Hermits remained neutral and focused primarily on understanding the nature of the world and its energies.
Throughout history, they played a crucial role in the study of the Prime-Forge and the phenomena associated with Amrita, dimensions, and other ancient energies.
The Last Forging
Approximately 20,000 years ago, a catastrophic accident occurred during The Last Forging
An immense amount of energy began to spiral out of control, threatening the stability of the world itself.
In response, countless Ancient Hermits united to create a massive Formation designed to seal the Prime-Forge and prevent the disaster from spreading.
The sealing was successful, but it came at a tremendous cost. A large number of Ancient Hermits sacrificed their lives in the process.
This event marked the end of the Age of the Ancient Hermits.
Legacy
Although most Ancient Hermits perished long ago, portions of their knowledge survived through disciples, successors, and ancient records.
This knowledge became the foundation of modern Hermit training systems.
Many Pattern techniques, theories regarding Taba Cores, and numerous branches of ancient knowledge trace their origins back to the Ancient Hermits.
Modern Perception
In the modern era, Ancient Hermits are regarded as legendary figures.
Only fragments of information remain, and many stories have been distorted or lost over time.
To modern Hermits, they are considered the founders of nearly everything that is studied and practiced today.
However, no one knows how much of their original knowledge has truly survived, or how much has been lost to history.
