The Before
From BHH Wiki
The Before was a primitive anarchy, dominated by powerful magical spirits and other unbound magical entities, that existed at the beginning of the timeline before the Five Empires and their immediate successor the Kingdom of Maisraln. It was accepted as canon in mid-2017, approximately between July and November. At the time, it was associated with the Maisraln Cycle, which was then the earliest cycle on the timeline. There was later a revival of interest in the largely forgotten-about concept in relation to the Genesis Cycle.
