Harbingers

Dillia's diary concept art.^[4]

The Ancients and The Others they found their way to Verra at some point and they came through what we call the Harbingers, which are essentially these celestial bodies- these almost comet-like structures that were traveling through space to find the location of the new creation; and within those harbingers is a very strong source of magic that essentially acts as a bridge between the Void and the Material plane where Verra exists.^[5] – Steven Sharif

The Harbingers are comet-like celestial bodies powered by a very strong source of magic that essentially acts as a bridge between The Void and the Material plane where Verra exists.^[5]

The Ancients and The Others used the Harbingers to travel to Verra, thus beginning the Apocalypse.^[5]
- The Ancients flowed out of the conduits that opened at the center of the Harbingers and began conquering Verra.^[6]
- A Harbinger comet landed between the Aelan capital Aela and the city of Carphin allowing the Ancients to advance on both cities during The Fall.^[7]

Harbingers exist on Verra as dungeons that the Ancients use to push their influence into the material plane under the guise of the effects of corruption as it spreads.^[8]

The worst thing the Harbingers bought to Verra was corruption, which twists and distorts everything it touches.^[9]

The worst thing that the Harbingers brought was not the Others, but the corruption that they spread. It twists and distorts everything it touches. It whispers in the ears of men, and guides their hands toward terrible ends. There does not seem a means to stop it - our prayers do nothing, our spells are ineffectual. The awful truth is that the Others could simply watch as we burned Verra to ash ourselves.^[9]
