Historical Record #
The first nation of the Loxodon grew from scattered groups of elders meeting when necessary into one strong, unified body they called Ashta, the Matriarchal Council that blossomed under their wise, collective care. With the security of their new settlements came an explosion of thought and culture. Their deep spiritual connection to the cosmos, which had been developing for ages, finally found a name: The Herd-Mother. They looked up at the vast, terrifying, beautiful skies of Astraea and, using their flawless memories, started to map every star, every known path of light. This love for the heavens drove them toward a massive invention: glassmaking. They dug the fine, smooth sand from old riverbeds and taught themselves how to melt and shape it. This work created the first telescopic lenses, allowing them to stare deeper into the blackness than anyone before. It was this stunning achievement that cemented their place as master astrologists and artisans.
They called this era the Age of Insight. It was a time of grand, sweeping construction—magnificent observatories and libraries carved directly from solid stone, filled wall-to-wall with shining, intricate glass lenses. These towering libraries, overseen by a dedicated group of scholars and scribes, became the beating heart of Loxodon society. They held everything: their celestial maps, their long history, their deep philosophical thoughts, and all their artistic traditions. The founding of a great university ensured this treasure of knowledge would never be lost, passed down to every new generation, solidifying the Loxodon’s core truths of wisdom, community, and enlightenment.
