As the wave of negativity grew, wars broke out, worlds were destroyed, entire races lost. The wave had even reached many of the members of the twelve councils diminishing their ranks and weakening their authority.
It was during this time, thirteen surviving members from the various councils came together and pooled their collective energies. They beseeched the Divine Creators to grant them power to create a race of beings that would battle the negativity.
On that day, the thirteen were granted permission to set into motion their desire to create a race of beings who would serve as protectors of every living creation. From each of the twelve star clusters, the Divine Creators gave to them the essence of twelve thousand stars.
“From these you will fashion your charges. Create as you will. Instill in your creations the desire to do good. Grant them purpose and honor; keeping in mind to never interfere with their freedom of choice. You may watch, guide and advise. But you must never interfere! You will no longer be permitted to show yourselves to your charges but will work in quiet solitude; assisting only when directly asked,” the Creators instructed solemnly.
Pleased with Council's efforts, the Divine Creators then formed a world upon which the Knights would live and named it Bar'Tal meaning ‘Great Light'. The Divine Creators granted the thirteen as Pantheon and High Council to the Knights with the reminder that they were not permitted to interfere with freedom of choice.
As the Knights began to evolve and advance, representatives from every part of the cosmos began to show interest, seeking them out. Many requested assistance from the Knights to battle the evil in their worlds, others to bring healing and needed supplies.
For all living creatures that faced extinction, from every galaxy and every dimension, Bar'Tal had become their sanctuary. As the Knights grew stronger and more powerful so too did the threat of the wave of negativity, its power now rapidly enveloping Bar'Tal.
