The Ancient Civilization was the first known society to thrive in the Aether, long before the Valkyrie or the Sun Cult. Wiped out by a mysterious cataclysm, only their towering ruins and tireless stone guardians remain, silently protecting sacred places that have been abandoned for millennia.
Structures
The Ancients built colossal temples and fortresses from massive stone blocks, creating a distinctive megalithic style unlike any other civilization. Today, their structures can only be found in a handful of biomes, where they have been reclaimed by nature and reduced to Ancient Ruins and dangerous Ancient Dungeons.
Guardians
The Ancient Civilization's greatest legacy is its powerful guardian golems. Although their creators are long gone, Sentries, Tile Sentries, and the mighty Slider continue to defend the Ancient Temples, following the purpose they were created for thousands of years ago.
Defeating the Slider releases the Ancient Souls that have remained trapped within the temple since the civilization's fall.
These wandering souls can be gathered at Ancient Shrines, where they find peace and reward you by upgrading your artifacts. However, players who choose to destroy the Ancient Souls for experience instead may attract the attention of the mysterious Watcher, bringing consequences that linger long after the battle is over.
