Well the Sleeper civilisation, and by extension the Jove, is the only civilisation left whose origins don't lie in New Eden. They are the only ones (as far as we know) that survived the closing of EVE and the Dark Ages with all their knowledge intact and likely all their history. They are probably the only ones left with knowledge of Earth, the Milky Way and the various factions of those times. Sure the current Empires have some bits and pieces left, enough to form myths and hypotheses and to realize we all came from one common source, but that's it.

As for the Architects having been around for billions of years. In a way I suppose you could say that yes. In Templar One we learn that inside the Construct, their virtual world, the rules are a little different and time can function differently. That is why their technology jumped forward with such great leaps, inside the Construct, experiments lasting decades could be completed in far shorter times.

In this dark void we are like brilliant stars, holding within us both the creative and destructive power to bring a new dawn upon worlds or plunge them into eternal darkness.

thanks again for a very detailed response

Blod-red skies, strange beings, and the number 514, often written in blood.

Here's a video that shows your "pillars of light" and the associated thuds... Enjoy!

This is the artwork for the chron, as well...Cool

It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then, and it's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.
