Sacking of Vancoura was the start of the Current Era and the collapse of the Golden Era. Sacking of Vancoura The sacking of Vancoura, also known as the fall of the Golden Era , occurred in the year 10,485 CE . Since Vancoura was the throne city of the Patriarchy of humanity, the metro was the epicenter of violence when Malderane committed to his betrayal of all that was good. The number of lives lost is unknown. A 10-year census of the city was recovered in the ancient ruins of the "Hall of Man " dating back to the year 10,400 Ge stating the number of inhabitants to be around 80 million. The current census conducted within the last decade is less than half of that amount tallying a total of 37.2 Million residents. Displaced and defiled, Vancoura lost the majority of its inhabitants making it descend into great ruin. The magnificence of its many wonders is still being discovered to this day in excavation sites near the interior portions. Aftermath In the months after the initial war broke out amongst the Zebratarians and human races that were allied with each faction, many sought shelter in the naturally formed caves in the Torpea mountains east of Vancoura. The Spire, the tallest structure ever built, retreated deep beneath the city as the Zebratarians left. After its retraction, large portions of the city's underground networks collapsed. Even still, to this day, modern Vancourians can use the expansive transit system that connects all portions of the city with one another underground. The capital of the Antonian sits near the old site of the Spire. The central transit hub stands near its predecessor, the Hall of Man. Archeologists continue to find clues that piece together the rich history of the Antonian capital in this area. The ancient space port was somewhat left intact from the savage destruction of Ancient Vancoura. As civilization began to recover, the city once again became the center for interstellar travel. Pictured above is a map of present day Vancoura, the Capital district. The orange highlights the area of the capital buildings. shown in green is the Transit hub Center. The large grey area near the Transit Hub is the old archelogical site where the Hall of Man once stood.

The Torkas Empire is a faction set in the Adventures of Phox Torkas Empire The Torkas Empire is the most organized faction that has a majority Mazzacarian rite. Its head and government are run by religious orders that worship Malderane , and its Emperor is deemed a prophet of the Dark One. The Torkas empire was formed in the year 11296 Ce when all tribes of the Torkai vowed to erase humanity on behalf of their god, Malderane. Ever since the humanity wars, animosity between humanity and the Torkai has been boiling with multiple localized wars, and greater conflicts, raging between the two races. With sentient sacrifices to their dark deities in growing demand, humans are prized victims of their cults. But the G.A remains strong and technically advanced, the Torkas Empire can't reach its goal of total enslavement of humanity. Sparking civil unrest and political corruption within the G.A to weaken it has proved to be slightly effective. However, in open war, the Antonian still own the field of battle. With dark prayers for the leaders of the G.A to drop dead going unanswered, the Torkas emperor blames the unheard calls on his people citing them to be too secular thus driving them further into depraved cults. In reality, his false deities lack the supreme power to carry out such feats. The Goals of the Empire beyond Human Destruction All tribes under the unity of the Torkas empire seek to manifest Malderane by conjuring him inside the ruins of his ancient palace. The location of course is on Vancoura which coincides with their main mission of enslaving humanity and sacrificing them to the Dark One and using them as a royal food source reserved for their emperor. Their plan after their mission succeeds and Malderane is reincarnated, they seek to spread their goals beyond the galaxy to form an eternal empire and regain what was present during the Malderane Era .

Antonianships is a form of government within the Adventures of Phox verse. Antonianship, Galactic and Terrestrial Antonianship An Antonian is equivalent to a kingdom but with more democratic qualities. An Anton can be allowed to have heirs and a family however, this is the most corruptible form of Antonianship. The Galactic Antonian is the only Antonship that has its ruler elected by a popular vote with the candidate being single with no heirs. Once elected, he or she can not marry or have heirs. "The Anton" refers to the ruler of an Antonianship just like "The King" refers to the ruler of a kingdom. The female variant for "Anton" is "Arra". A Galactic Anton is to be addressed in the same manner. Just simply "The Anton" or "The Arra." With an Antonianship, the people can express sway or power using the "parliament of citizens" and a "senate". The legislative body creates the constitution when an Antonian is forming. The Anton reviews the constitution and then places it before the public for review. If the certain Antonian has an heir system, the Anton or Arra is not up for election. However, the other members of government would be duly elected by the citizens. Galactic Antonianship A Galactic Antonianship is when an Antonian makes up an entire planetary system or multiple worlds. These are normally formed with the full consent of smaller Antonians uniting themselves under the strongest Antanian. Those that are formed by force are not long-lasting and collapse under the strain of rebellions. An Antonianship that is Galactic uses the same form of gonvermental bodies as a smaller/regular Antonian. However, the leaders of the smaller Antonians making up the body of the Galactic Antonian are called "Peltovs -(Pel-tows)." Each leader behaves much like a govenor with their own set of local principalities (Smaller Peltovs that have heirs to their Leaders) and congressional bodies.

The Malkatech Tablets refer to ancient text that revealed much lost history within the adventures of Phox universe. The Malkatech Tablets The Malkatech tablets are a series of ancient texts that preserve the ancient eras of history. Within their text, scientists and modern historians were able to solve numerous mysteries that were previously elusive. Numbering over 1,200 stone tablets, the Malkatech covers ancient legend, medicine, economic analogs, scientific knowledge, and lost techniques of space travel. Many aspects of modern technology and medicine were shaped after the discovery of the Tablets in the year 14,820 Ce . Discovery Current Era Archaeologists had a general idea that there was some kind of vast documentation of the ancient world. The method of documentation was unknown at the time, until investigations led to a potential location of such writings. During the excavation of the ancient Vancouran sites inside the Golden Era metro, archaeologists discovered the foundation of the Hall of Man. The tablets were wrapped in tea cloth at first and nearly archived as rolls of fabric. It is believed to have been disguised to prevent its destruction at the hands of Malderane's followers during the Sacking of Vancoura. Upon further study, it became clear they were tablets of text written in polished stone. Artificial intelligence speedily translated the ancient writings, allowing exuberant amounts of discoveries to be made within a short period. Scientists tested many of the discoveries to find that the written analogs were real and could be replicated in the modern era. More solemn historical discoveries within the text were ancient scholars' testimony to the wicked deeds of Malderane , the fall of the Golden Empire , and life under the Malderane Era . Some elements of the Malkatech are hidden to protect it from ancient treasures being plundered. Or, the vast war graves of the Golden Era from being desecrated by archaeologists. Some argue that the G.A hides key tablets to give their military an edge over its' adversaries, protecting long-lost war weapons from falling into the wrong hands. Scientific Impacts After reviewing the contents of the tablets, key sections of the stone book gave a great, detailed analysis of the functions of the Zebratarian Golden Empire . With this knowledge, Scientists were able to apply groundbreaking methods that were lost in the fall of the Golden Era . The biggest of these breakthroughs was the ability to create short-distance portals. Power stations were made safer and more powerful. Intergalactic trade was made more efficient. Construction was revolutionized and streamlined. Numerous diseases were eradicated from humans and other sentient races. Artificial intelligence was able to become even more sentient, and robots saw new leaps and bounds never recorded in the Current Era. Historical Discoveries Within the Malkatech's writings, mysteries were unraveled and the truth laid bare. Many texts explained the history behind Malderane's potential origins, the reasoning for the appearance of Zebratarians , and the fate of the majestic and magical beings. Some tablets also expound on the Chyme Lords and confirm that they were indeed the first humans. The writings date back as far as testimonies from the Malderane Era and as recent as the last decades of the Golden Era . The final two tablets are notably written with less precision. And the tablets themselves are not polished or decorated, as in the previous installments. The final paragraph of the Malkatech showcases the human will to survive. It's the words of a dying scribe stating that his last action would be securing the Malkatech and protecting it from the Mazzacarians. He acknowledges that he is the last one to write in the ancient tablets. And he beckons to the future, stating: "May the actions of men from ages past yield fruit for the future of our race. For this, I give my life, and close out my final prayer to see to it that this may be done and secure hope for all of mankind. Charish this treasure, man of a different era. If your eyes behold the beginning and the end of the Malkatech, know that all you do understand will be made clear. "

Mangum Auctor is the God figure in the comic Adventures of Phox. Click here to learn more about him! Magnum Auctor, Author of Existence Magnum Auctor ( Great Author) is the founder of time and physical being. He stands as the beacon of all moral standing and hope. Translated from The Malkatech Tablets , it is believed that Magnum Auctor gave Malderane, the Dark One, dominion over the sentient realms. He, however, betrayed his trust and Will to seek out his own gains. To foil his demented endeavors, The Great Author sent forth his guardians, the Zebratarians . Taking on still majestic but less terrifying forms, he told his warriors to go forth and bring peace to all the mortal lands. Magnum Auctor became known as the creator of all existence through his Zebratarians. All who stayed true to his teachings were saved in the afterlife. Many attempt to say that this is not true because suffering exists; however, due to the fall of the first men and Malderane himself, the world is dying. He taught that the soul is what matters, and not to let mortal time blind its goals. Magnum Auctor is still worshiped by the majority of humans even in the Current Era as the true author of all beings. Even some non-human sentient races have recently begun to accept him as the true creator. The Malkatech: Legends of the Dawn of Time It is written in the Malkatech Tablets that Magnum Auctor brought into the physical plane creatures of sentient minds. A cosmos of stars, worlds, and many wonders, the Great Author made all. In His creation, he made various physical beings and nonphysical beings. The physical beings he gave dominion over all land. Man was introduced to their home world. Serekans, Sugellee, DeSa, Torkas, all dwelt happily in the physical realms. The nonphysical beings were given dominion over the great voids between worlds and tasked with shepherding the multitudes of mortals. The most notable of these servants was the Mazzacarian. Tall, majestic human-like beings of pure light. The head of their ranks was Malderane , known in the Dawning Era as "The Keeper." He was sent to serve humanity and guide them through mortal life to the spiritual. By his greatness, many came to honor him and his master, Magnum Auctor. The details of what happened next in the chronicles of time are somewhat abstract. Summarized below is the most updated adaptation from the Malkatech . "Perched on a mountain top so high, the Keeper of Man would shepherd the Great Author's sheep. Bathed in glory, the servant became more a king than a helper. Man, curious by nature of the newness of the world around him, began to venture into elements not meant for his kind. Unstopped by the Keeper on the mountain, Magnum Auctor sent signs directing the course to be changed. 'Bring my people home,' he would cry out to the Keeper on the mountain. Clouded by glory, the Keeper would heed the messenger not. Then, amid the first age of time, the first man poisoned himself with power, discovering the pools of Chyme . Man was distancing himself from his true purpose. And the Keeper on the mountain idled by. Instead of intervening, he meddled, controlling humanity from the shadows and any other sentient race caught in the flurry of corruption. His arrogance blinded him to judgment. Magnum Auctor's messenger was seen by holy men and women, going to the gates of the mountain. But the Keeper would not pay him attention. Three times it is written that a messenger went to the Mazzacarian's hall atop the mountain. But neither of the vital moments did the Keeper let him in. As decades passed and Magnum Auctor's patience drew on, the Mazzacarian prince's list of grievances towards the Great Author came to a climax. Humanity was being swayed to harbor animosity towards other sentient races. Wars spread. The humans, now led by Ungar , began to worship false idols. Magnum Auctor's sorrow grew into rage, and He Himself came to the physical realm. During the darkest hour of the night, during the waxing crescent phase of the moon, the sky came alive with light. A figure so radiant stood before the Keeper's house that the pure light sent the whole palace of the Mazzacarians into a multitude of debris. Choosing His timing with the phase of the moon, Magnum Auctor made it clear that a new era was born. Catapulted towards space, the darkness hid the Mazzacarians. Shame punished them. Shock of judgment made the Keeper wither. Magnum Auctor sought to save humanity from its fallen state. Through His servant, the Mazzacarian, the Great Author would protect his faithful. By the great spectacle on the mountain, all those who remained faithful to Magnum Auctor knew what they had witnessed. But to the Chyme Lords and other corrupted men, they excused the mystical site as nothing more than a natural occurrence. Some blasphemed Magnum Auctor, saying that He fell on his own instrument of creation and provided them with more Chyme in 'death'. But it was during the waning crescent of the following week that vengeance was taken on those soured by ill works and wicked minds. The Keeper returned bathed in horror. Banned from residing in his former house on the mountain, the Mazzacarian became enraged and defied all natural order. He slaughtered those he had corrupted, reaping what he had sown. The Keeper chose this phase of the moon to counter Magnum Auctor's choice. The Waning Crescent, now, was his symbol that an Era was dying. Only the men and sentient beings who hid from his gore and prayed to Magnum Auctor were spared." It is described that Malderane "Appeared in the house of Ungar like a plague. His voice mustered the venom of death itself, and none were spared from its call. All light was gone from him, and all light he consumed in the darkness of his malice. Contempt and hatred were shown to the Chyme Lords, and once they succumbed to his will, he spared not even the children of the neighboring houses. The high and lowly were all equally reduced to animals by unholy acts of butchery. Man was now reigned by a demon, a fallen Angel who forsook everything for temporary pleasures. In a world where mortals live and die, the immortal Intellect sold his birthright, given by Mangum Auctor, to be like the mortals." It is written by the same author, in the Malkatech , that the faithful lived their lives and were reunited with Mangum Auctor in his halls of Glory. The descendants of the men and sentient beings that fell for the temporal pleasures, put forth by Malderane, are the races present today."

Anton Baton is the current serving Anton of the Galactic Antonian Anton Baton The 10th Antonian of the Antonship, Baton rules extremely benevolently. Understanding the importance of Freedom, the Anton balances his power strictly by using the people. Bypassing his senate at times and taking issues straight to the citizens, which does indeed create strife between the two political bodies, Baton's reign has been known to be the best due to his openness and request for public opinion on policy. Baton became extremely popular during the Week of Terror where he lured the Nameless Emperor of the Empire of Unity into a rip causing him to be teleported outside of the G.A. Anton Saxton the 1st, Baton's father, solitified the goals and success of the Galactic Antonian. Unlike previous Antons, the people chose his son to be his successor making Baton the first and only Anton to be elected related to another Anton. Another key highlight to Baton's reign is the Yazar Succession War . The conflict is still ongoing with a clear Antonian Victory in sight. Read more about the Yazar War on its respective page.

The Formation Wars and the Humanity Wars The Formation Wars refer to a period of time in the Current Era (Ce ) which lasted from 14,800 - 14,814 Ce. After several previous conflicts before the Formation wars, the human home world was ripe for rebellion. Multiple human factions across Vancoura rose up in arms against foreign occupiers, primarily the Torkas Empire. The Humanity Wars is a broad period of history within the Current Era spanning from the years 11,280 - 11,312 Ce. Within that time frame, both human uprisings and warring alien factions did battle over who controlled the remains of the Golden Empire. Humans fought for freedom. Torkas fought Mazzacarians for the ownership of the human home world Vancoura. Humanity became united under the Julian Peltov's Anton, Manfred the Iron, after rebel factions secured golden era technology. This drastically gave humans the upper hand in the fight. More information about the Torkas wars can be found on the pages dedicated to that chapter of history: "The Torkas Imperial War" and "The Second Torkas War". Causes of the Conflicts Oppressive Alien races lorded over the remnants of the fallen Golden Empire. Many did not even comprehend what previously ruled the territories of the modern-day Galactic Antonian and proceeded arrogantly in their ways of controlling the large human population. Not once did Torkas or Mazzacarians reign over humans with peace from the Years 10,486 - 14,814 Ce. Humanity was desperate for survival. Instead of having the option of being lorded over by alien races, they were faced with one faction or another that sought their complete demise. This would eventually lead to the founding of the G.A, which now dominantly reigns supreme over the southern portions of the Galaxy. More on this can be found on the Galactic Antonian's dedicated page.

The Yazar succession war is a bloody conflict waged between the Yazar Republic and the Galactic Antonian The Yazar Succession Leading events to the war Ever since the Formation Wars , which brought about general human liberation from alien factions, the Yazar system has been run by a tight-knit trade system. As the years progressed and nearby solar systems began to join the Galactic Antonian , based out of Vancoura , local trading seemed less productive vs the intergalactic trade. Factions in the local government of the Yarrian senate were split over joining the G.A. Emmanuel Jarold, the leader of the largest trading enterprise of the Yazar system , strongly opposed joining Vancoura for fear it would destabilize illicit practices within his corporations that ultimately helped him bring maximum profit. The will of the senate was against Jarold's desires but by only a slim margin. Using his acquired wealth and slight popularity amongst the elite of the Yazar system , Emmanuel Jarold would form a movement aimed at sewing discontent with the G.A and dislodging the system out of the Antonionship . On the first winter's month of the year 14,903 Ce , Jarold successfully became the planetary Magistrate in a narrow electoral victory. The second Torkas war had begun a few years ago, and due to the war, space routes were becoming harder to travel. As the Magistrate, Jarold would inflate the effects of this on the Yazar system . To better help his agenda, Jarold lobbied his allies in the Senate and purposely passed local policies to put pressure on his citizens. Censorship tunneled visioned the media. And soon, due to Jerold's policies shaping the political landscape, the only solution was to seek alternatives to the G.A . Spark of war Vancoura's response to the growing animosity was shrouded by the second Torkas War. The resources spent and the slow repair time of the intergalactic infrastructure only gave more tools for Magistrate Jarold to weave lies. However, a solution was designed. A plan to construct planetary power plants capable of fueling whole worlds from a single facility. The fusion reactor-based plant would free resources on its' respective planet and be much more resilient to, Cyber and Physical attacks, and natural disasters. The Magistrate passed legislation through the senate to make the Yazar system one of the trial planets. Many questioned his motives due to his anti-Antonian stance. However, he later disclosed in a leaked document that it was due to extreme pressure from Vancoura. Officials on the capital planet of the Antonian were beginning to grow weary of Jarold and started to try and combat his claims through the media treating his ploys as purely political. On the third month of spring in the year 14,931 Ce , a failure of the main turbine that fueled the generator of the planetary power plant caused a shutdown of 80% of the capital Peltov . Without hesitation, the state-run media of the Yazar Republic perpetrated the accident as a deliberate shutdown due to his administration's stance towards the Galactic Antonian . Panic and anger drove the population of the capital city, Tsarix, to riot. The crowds were further incited by the local national guard to attack the power plant's personnel and the Antonian Federal Garrison. Silo #8 exploded due to a spark caused by laser fire killing the majority of those present inside the main reactor chamber and damaging the city's power permanently until other substations would be reactivated.. The Planetary Magistrate Jarold put fully the blame on the G.A as "instigators of the violence in the spring of '931." The Yarrian assembly representatives in Vancoura protested by refusing to enter the chamber in an attempt to halt any hearings, but they were quickly put under house arrest due to treason. In the first month of summer in the same year, 14,931 Ce, the Yazar system declared itself the "Dominant System" of the Antonian and the truly free world. In response, Vancoura deemed their method of separation unlawful and not in accordance with the charter the planetary Antonians signed and declared War. Current state of the war Outmatched both on ground forces and spacecraft, the Yazar succession war started and is still currently heavily in the G.A's favor. The Yarrian Interstellar Defense massed itself for an offensive to reach the border of the Torkas Empire. Due to the surprising nature of this attack in space, it yielded modest results. However, the Antonian naval command in charge of the border sector was a successful carrier tactician. The Yarrian Interstellar Navy was successfully countered, and soon the G.A's main fleet surrounded the area from all sides. 3rd Dimensional warfare was on the side of the Antonian as they would proceed to attack both poles of the planet, and the sides, all at once constantly. The land campaigns began after the successful neutralization of the Yarrian planetary defenses. The shields of the Yazar system were still operational. However, key areas were targeted and breached in the year of 14,933 Ce. Once a breach was established, the Antonians flooded the land masses of the Yarrian continents with combined armies of Interstellar navy, terrestrial naval forces, and army brigades. The eastern portions of the capital continent were targeted first. Then, other areas of the space shield were weakened from within allowing more and more staging areas for ground invasions. This did not come without a cost for the G.A. An estimated 510,000 soldiers had either been wounded or killed in action. The losses for the Yazar Republic were much higher but due to their stubbornness and reluctance to evacuate populated areas, the civilian casualty numbers were also climbing. The largest battle currently taking place is the Siege of Tsarix, the Yarrian capital. After the successful advance that initially started on the continent that houses the Yazar capital, the front line in the west came to a standstill as the G.A focused on other areas of the war. Resuming in the spring of 14,938 Ce, naval and ground forces began to put pressure on the Yarrian defense. 89% of Tsarix is occupied by liberation forces, the other percent is still under Yazar Republic control. Depicted above is the first stage of the Yazar Succession war, the Yozom Winter Offensive. It began at hour 22:48 Vancouran time and ended at the start of spring in the northern hemisphere of the Yazar system. current area controlled by both factions of the Yazar succession war. Pictured is the Tsarix axis of advance. Separated in the east and south east by a large river, the G.A is forced to push through the metro and the flanks to the extreme north and south. Yarrian War Crimes In an already brutal conflict, disasters were perpetuated by the Yazar Republic in an attempt to stop a superior Antonian combined armed advance on all fronts. These disasters consisted of manufactured wide-scale humanitarian catastrophes. A common occurrence by retreating Y.P brigades was to pollute the landscape behind them. The targets of these acts against humanity involved the following. 1: Mass poisoning of wells, reservoirs, and natural habitats. 2: Turning infrastructure of large civilized areas into targets of war. 3: Execution of POWs and also the terrorizing of loyalists to the Antonian within the occupied territory of Yazar. 4: Targeting civilian targets in liberated Yarrian areas. 5: The prevention of life-saving aid being distributed to the civilian population in occupied areas. 6: Use of unconventional and inhumane weaponry that leaves most victims alive with permanent effects. Such weapons also affect a larger area of the targeted zone in the form of chemicals. 7: Containiminated supplies to the civilian population in liberated zones. The G.A counter these acts with preemptive strikes behind enemy lines. Special forces brigades were formed just for this purpose with the aid of intel from satellites and drones to pinpoint the most important targets.
