The Provenance

The mysterious ancient race of advanced beings existed billions of years ago, and all of the remains of their civilization have all but disappeared. From what has been recovered, as well as where these artifacts have been found confirms that the race expanded to control nearly the entire Interior galaxy. Given that no race has any recorded contact or memory of these people, it is believed that the Provenance met no other sentient races in their time, possibly evolving ahead of  all races in the galaxy. Some current people revere the Provenance as Gods, with several cults and one major documented religion being based around them. The Provenance language is still largely illegible, but what has been discovered has led to the naming of several planets and even the closest galaxy: the Angora. Nearly all discovered remnants of the Provenance tell the story of their demise, something we have come to refer to as “the Great Separation”, as it is recorded in carvings on walls of settlements wherever they are found. A topic of much debate, anything of Provenance origin fetches a high price, and with time, perhaps this mysterious people will become less of a fairy-tale, and more of a reality.
