Astronix at a Glance
A thousand and three hundred years have passed since the Great War died down. One thousand and three hundred years ago the people of Gera were the most advanced species of Astronix. Their knowledge, magic, and wealth were beyond comparison. However, their civilization was devastated by the lust for power and the pride of one person. The ruler of Gera, Dolpheus, considered humans to be the only creatures to dominate over all of Astronix. Mankind unleashed a bloody war and tried to conquer the other planets but suffered a crushing defeat. Dolpheus was killed and his people were cursed with slavery for a thousand years. Since then, they have lost their memory, turned into unconscious and obedient zombies, and have become servants, soldiers, and free labor for the other creatures of Astronix. Gera has been reduced to plundered ruins, and her wealth and knowledge have been stolen or destroyed.
One thousand years later, when the curse was to be lifted from mankind, other species were benefitting from the current state of the Gera people, so nobody intended to free the people of Gera despite them serving the correct time of enslavement. The species of Astronix reach an agreement and decide to leave everything as it is. This continues for another three hundred years. People take every newborn to the tower of mages of Atlantis (which appeared in every city on Gera after the Great War), where they perform a ceremony over them, after which the child grows up as an obedient and unconscious slave.
But one day, a woman dies during childbirth and her son wasn’t brought to the tower of magicians. The kid is raised by neighbors, and they name him Maven. The boy grows up to be the first person to realize and understand what is happening around him. While working as a servant in the tower of magicians in his hometown, he secretly learns to read and once overhears a conversation between mages about cursed people. The young man also learns that the curse can be broken if its counter is cast in one of the temples of Atlantis. However, the curse word is split into six parts, each of which is stored on all of the Astronix planets. Realizing how dangerous his position is, Maven thoroughly conceals his knowledge. He also protects his children from the magician's birthing ceremony and secretly convinces dozens of families to do so as well. Gradually, the number of conscious people starts to grow and they begin to call themselves mavens. Soon after, the rumors about them reach the ruling people, and they start a hunt for the mavens. Some of them are killed by Zetas who arrived from Gera, and those who manage to escape are forced to hide and pretend to be the average people. Maven, along with his friends, decides to set off to break the curse to free mankind and revive Gera. And here our journey begins...
