First Awakening of Avatars

The First Awakening of Avatars occured in 2077 B.C and was caused by Zikyna. Commonly referred to as custodians, these individuals were hand-picked throughout history by Zikyna - most of them living on Tellus in the 21st century. Some of the summoned souls were considered as non-custodians as they were corrupted at some point.

Zikyna summoned these souls in order to prevent a potential future timeline where Atlantis never rises and Tellus is successfully terraformed by the Demonic Legion through global warming. The reason as to why they were sure to prevail is because she summoned them from the timeline she intended to create.

Custodians were widely considered to be the most powerful of the avatars that Zikyna summoned.

First Conflict of the Two Demigods
While Zikyna was created by the forbidden union of a mortal and a dragonic avatar, her opposite Naziel was created by the union of a demonic creature and a dragonic avatar. Naziel was driven by the Demonic Legion to destroy all of her motives as they believed her to aim to revive the Promethean Dream. In his mission to do so, he began with claiming certain avatars for himself - corrupting them and turning them against what Zikyna sought to create.

Zikyna eventually confronted him. Knowing that the non-custodians would attack the most vulnerable custodians, she sent them to tellus' odin vault in Tibet. There, they would enter a portal to the sister planet - Melnyr. Harkaz was declared warden of Tellus and was ordered to stay behind. Zikyna came back just in time to save him from the trap that Barthedez had set, escorting him to Melnyr.

Other
There were other avatars that didn't fit into the category of custodians nor conspirators. Many of them perished early on in their existence. Those who survived would band together as they were being hunted down and converted into foot-soldiers by the conspirators.

The Second Wave of Avatars
Differences between the first and second waves of summoned avatars were great and many. The most recognizable being the second wave's absence of celestial titles. The first wave of avatars were considered the most powerful, serving Zikyna's vision as custodians. That made the custodians greatly respected by their descendants. Some however considered the custodians to be flawed, arrogant and blind. As such conflict between the two groups wasn't too unusual.

The Third Wave of Avatars
The third wave of avatars were lead and instructed by the second wave. As such most of them had very weak ties to the custodians.
