WHEN WE REACHED THE GREAT KIND ONE,
WE SAW OUR DUTY TO PROTECT THE CRADLE.
OTHERS OF CRADLE'S CHILDREN SOON FOLLOWED,
AND THE COLLECTIVE WAS FORMED.
NO SOCIETY IS PERFECT,
BUT WE STROVE TO PERFECTION.
The Ancient Collective is a name given to the vast empire the Ancients held dominion over during their peak. The Collective included the Ancients and a variety of other member species with their own unique cultures, and held its capital at High Transience. Most of the Ancient Collective's territories are concentrated within the Fringe.
