Founding
The Ashen Kingdom's roots trace back to the formation of The Luminary Archive Society , an organization founded by The Phoenix with the intent to preserve knowledge and wisdom from the pre-Wave era.
The LAS and additional factions began pushing for Sam's ascension to leadership, but several others were against either Sam herself or a singular figurehead versus a Council of sort, leading towards an internal struggle for power that would end with the formation of the Ashen Kingdom.
With the White Dragon and Luminary Council at her side, The Phoenix initially assumed a more passive role as the leader. The society's focus on preserving history and advancing knowledge laid the foundation for what would eventually become The Ashen Kingdom.
As the society grew in influence and members, The Phoenix's leadership evolved from a caretaker of knowledge to a powerful ruler. With the aid of advanced technology, cultural exchange, and magical innovation, The Luminary Archive Society expanded beyond its original purpose, laying the groundwork for the transformation into an empire.
