Seneca's Journal

As of now, most of what we know about the Ancestors are theories derived from studying lost materials and ruins.

But how do the Magisters know about them? As we know, the Magisters arrived in Ingris during the Age of the Apocalypse with the Vulgus.

They claim they've inferred the existence of the Ancestors based on their research since arriving in Ingris, but sometimes I get the feeling they are hiding something. I don't think the Ancestors were simply ancient humans who awoke their Arche as intended by the Architects.

In an instant, for unknown reasons, they disappeared from this world. And many records of their time were deleted, evaporating into thin air, as if they never existed.

Perhaps the Architects, or even the Ancestors themselves, did not want to pass on the events of that time to future generations. Or they couldn't…I can't help but suspect the Magisters know something about this. Of course, those thoughts about the Magisters are just my own.

I've also been using their materials to do research, and it's true that their knowledge has led to great advances, so there's no reason for them to be hiding something now.

But it's hard to let go of the suspicion that the Magisters haven't told us everything. The important thing is for humanity to find a way forward without relying on them.
