The Xen

The Xen were an ancient race of alien that lived on Anthosa, a silver island floating through space, outside of the realm of existence simply because they willed it to be so. All that is known about them is simply from artifacts that come into Earth's orbit, which happens surprisingly often. Scientists believe that this is because there are so many artifacts of the Xen culture that, even when spread evenly across the universe, there are still several thousand in each cubic light year of space. It is believed that we know less than a googolplexianth about the Xen and their culture.

Biology
Not much about Xen biology is known, other than that each Xen was larger than the observable universe - likely due to their species' ability to bend reality with the use of the Amulet of Koji'maah. They were also capable of creating Potential at will, similar to the Potentius.

History
For eons, the Xen lived under a god named Koji'maah. Koji'maah was a loving deity, one who granted his people whatever they wished to make them happy. Koji'maah had three high priests under him - Dehlitoroh, Normah-ri, and Khona'mi.

While all three high priests had at first worshiped and respected Koji'maah, Khona'mi soon began to grow upset with the god, for reasons unknown. Through the art of Toheha Mahka'la-Xen, Khona'mi overthrew Koji'maah, and turned his soul into an amulet that he wore around his neck. With the fallen god's power within his grasps, Khona'mi became a ruler to his people, using the amulet to bend the laws of the universe in his species' favor.

It is unknown why the amulet shattered soon after, and why the Xen are now extinct. However, by some miracle, the art of Mahka'la-Xen lives on.

Culture
Very little of Xen culture is known to mankind. What is understood, however, is that Mahka'la-Xen played a huge role in their day-to-day life.
