The Lore we know of…
The concept of life beyond the skies was lost, long ago… However, depictions of cave art of olde show of ancient humanity traversing the cosmos to escape their terrors. A great darkness known as Vraxus had wrought birth to predators of mankind. One of which, ruthlessly pursuing them, dubbed only as Al’varai. The stories told of them feeding on humans and using their survivors as hosts for their spawnlings.
Mankind had been delivered by a cradle of metal from the heavens above, unto Arcenia, only to swiftly flee across the continents. Their ancient knowledge would be lost to nature and time…

The cradle had sunk into the ground over the years, as the Al’varai burrowed into the earthen depths, shrouded from future generations of mankind -- becoming as much of a legend as the spacefaring folk that arrived with them.

Stories of monsters that disguise themselves as men emerge, telling of them being exposed by the bleeding of the moon.
Others rumor of special tools and weapons of ancient humanity stowed away in caverns claimed by the wildlife…
However, only the most brazen could reveal the truth.
