>Stars die when their core is expended, collapsing helium and heavier elements.
>The death of a star is explosive, releasing its hydrogen mantel and core as a mist back out into the cosmos.
>The freed hydrogen collapses back into new infant stars to repeat the process.
>The vaporized core's heavy waist matter condenses around those new infant stars to make orbiting constellations of rocky bodies.
>From the primordial ooze of one such rocky planet evolved the Necrontyr, and on a different rocky planet on the other side of the galaxy evolved the Old Ones.
>The Old Ones gave themselves the overly honorific title of "Old One" out of arrogance, believing themselves both the first, and thus the pinnacle of all life.
>They most certainly were not, on either account.
>The title of oldest belongs to the C'tan, while the honor of Pinnacle belonging to the Necrontyr.
>The Old Ones were witches, blessed by having evolved in a region of both material and empyric stability.
>In time, the Old Ones transcended into entities of pure empyric energy.
>They went on to seed soul bearing life throughout to galaxy, grooming the Empyrean in their own image through the souls of their clients.
