History

Origins[]

The godlike entity Sise-Neg originally created a Haven for two creatures belonging to the borderline between apes and men,[7] Homo erectus.[6]

A tribe descended from those two, and in the course of that tribe's migration every year, their leader and his mate would return to the Garden.[7]

Encountering the Serpent-Men[]

One year, those two encountered in the Paradise the "Tribe of Mighty Set", Serpent-Men in disguise, offering them a better life in exchange for their obedience, the murder of their tribe, and help to approach the Space Gods bringing gifts.[7]

The Wanderers rejected the offer and the truth was revealed. Retreating, the Wanderers reached their tribe and returned with others to drive the Serpent-Men out of the Garden.[7]

First Host of the Celestials[]

As the battle finished, the Wanderers witnessed the First Host of the Celestials arriving in their starship, escorted by Gaea who smiled to the tribe, urging them to accept the gifts of the aliens.[7]

Gammenon the Gatherer took in the Wanderers, while the Serpent-Men tried to offer themselves, hoping their more evolved minds would favor them over the mammals, and were driven away by Arishem the Judge.[7]

The Celestials altered the genetic makeup of the Pre-Men, creating the unstable Deviants who fled into hiding underground, the immortal and powerful Eternals who literally flew out,[1] and finally the remaining Wanderers who were left to evolve naturally into humans, but granted latent genes that would eventually turn them into superhumans.[7]

While those turned into Eternals or Deviants retreated among themselves, the exact whereabouts of the rest of the Tribe, those modified with latent genes, is unknown, but they eventually spread the latent genes across the world.
