The Lightbringers
The Lightbringers, the Destroyers, the God-Mages, the Ones who came before. Many names for them exist and echos and remnants of their presence can still be found worldwide. Despite the several millennia that have passed since the destruction of their entire civilization, they are still studied, revered, feared and even worshiped all over the world by all peoples.
Additional Information
Social Structure
From what little information survives it's believed that the Lightbringers held knowledge and achievement in high regard. It's also possible that they separated themselves into different "guilds" the most prominent ones being the Guild of Mages and the Guild of Builders.
Facial characteristics
Intact pieces of artwork depict Lightbringers with bright hair and eyes often in flamboyant colours such as magenta and cyan, it's believed that this was achieved artificially however although it remains entirely possible that this was natural to them.
Civilization and Culture
Average Technological Level
With the seemingly infinite power of magic used a resource by the Lightbringers, they were able to construct vast supercities, gigantic constructs and vehicles and also terrifyingly advanced tools and weapons.
History
Only bits and pieces of their history have been found and it's thought that their early primitive days were spent hiding from titanic beasts in the shade of massive trees or caves. Fragments of old Lightbringer tales tell of the these early primitive tribes discovering a "unseen power" which they used to hunt and overcome the gigantic beasts that plagued them. Many modern scholars believe this power to be some form of magic.
Several centuries later the Lightbringers would come to use magic to dominate the world. Fragments of information give word of magic being harvested and used as a source of power for a number of different devices, machines and weapons which they used to further spread and advance their civilization.
However it seems like the power of this magical technology was too much even for the Lightbringers and they somehow destroyed themselves after centuries of global dominance.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
There is great debate on whether or not humans or any modern species existed during the time of the Lightbringers, snippets of Lightbringer text mention "primitive smaller men" which is believed to be early forms of humans but as several races of men have existed in the world it's unclear if these were actually humans or not.
