Legend of the Shards

Legend of the Shards

According to very old legends, there once existed an Empire stretching over millions of galaxies. Ruled by a godlike entity called the Emperor. This emperor, Invictus Rex according to the same legends took the next step in evolution and left this sphere of space and time. He supposedly had a weapon that could slay the Dark One,  a weapon that had been used to divide this evil entity of Anti Life and darkness before. The emperor locked all the gained knowledge, all Techlevel 12 devices into the Imperial Vault, sealed it with the Cosmic Key. The Imperial Elders then broke said key into a number of shards and scattered these pieces all across the universe. Mainly to deny the Offspring access to it. One day someone would reunite all shards, restore the Key and open the Vault. This legend is many billion years old and has been told and retold by the oldest societies and entities. Many detais have been forgotten. Other details have been changed or distorted. Much of the legend so the common consense is faery tale at best. Some of the story seems illogical and impropable. But it is a persisting story and legend.
