Cronon

The Cronons were an ancient race of beings who were among the first humanoids to every harness the power of magic. They were regarded as being immensely powerful, and to a case enlightened. However, due to the militaristic actions of some, they were completely wiped out.

Appearance


The Cronons were fairly tall beings, who had hairless bodies, and a thin, lithe statures. People rarely saw Cronons without their helmets or armor on, but they apparently had rounded heads, with large eyes. They also had hands with three long fingers. They also apparently had pale skin.

Culture and Society
Little is known about Cronon culture, but according to images found in the ruins of their cities, they were considerably advanced, with a cultured lifestyle. It is implied that they were not initially militaristic, as there were numerous paintings and sculptures in one city. However, at one point, they became ruthless conquerors, that favored strength. It is also indicated that they might have been xenophobic or ethnocentric to a certain level, as inscriptions show them killing, or enslaving other races.

History
While there is little knowledge of Cronon history, it is known that they were the first humanoids to discover how to use magic at will. Some Cronons desired to use this magic to teach, and to learn. However, the high-ranking Cronons instead decided to use their abilities to conquer, and expand their borders. This began a ruthless era of conquest, where the Cronon armies were believed to have killed countless amounts of people.

Fearing that this behavior could lead to Fiore being destroyed, the dragons discussed amongst themselves of what should be done. They came to the conclusion that the Cronon militarists must be killed. As such, they dispatched Lumenos, the Golden Dragon, to completely destroy the Cronon army. Lumenos succeeded, and managed to drive the Cronons back to their strongholds. Despite this, Lumenos feared that the Cronons would rise again, so to ensure they would never have such behavior ever again, Lumenos went from city to city, destroying it, and killing every single Cronon he could find. This soon became a genocide, as in less than a year, the Cronons were completely extinct. As punishment for this genocide, Lumenos was banished, cursed, and became Astarot.

Despite their apparent extinction, many people have claimed that a few Cronons still live, hiding in the shadows.

Magic and Abilities


Cronons were the first humanoids to learn how to control magical energy at will. Like humans, there was no genuine limit on what they could do, but unlike humans, every single Cronon possessed the ability to use magic at their own disposal. They seemed to be most skilled at Creation Magic, as they were the ones who invented the certain Magic Arcs.
