Īs the war with Hell continued to rage, the Night Sentinels made a shocking discovery: Argenta slaves working in the bowels of Hell, raising vast towers that processed innocent souls into the same marvelous "Elixir" that had so benefited their society. The Night Sentinels were among the few to reject this new marvel, seeing it as interfering with their traditions and suspecting a substance drawn from the enemy. Through the use of a formulation developed by the priests, strength, wisdom, and eternal life could be granted, as well as an incredible source of power for machines or weapons. ![]() The war with the demons led to the discovery of what was called the "Essence" or "Elixir", Argent Energy, by Argenta priests studying fallen demons, and while initially this was seen as a possible weakness that could be exploited, it soon proved more useful. Shortly after the arrival of the man who would one day be known as the Doom Slayer, forces from Hell attacked Argent D'Nur, emerging at the holy city of Taras Nabad, but thwarted, at great cost, by the might of the Night Sentinels. While they still venerated the Wraiths, they came to regard the Maykrs as the true gods, particularly their leader, a being known as the Khan Maykr. This led to a powerful civilization which spread throughout the galaxy, conquering or colonizing many worlds, including, it would appear, both Earth and Mars, with the present-day humans of Earth understood to be among their descendants. The creatures offered not just strength or technology, but an eternal reward: those who served them would be granted an afterlife in the realm of Urdak, alongside their loved ones. The Maykrs sent envoys to Argent D'Nur and offered to bring order to their world. The Argenta would later encounter another race of powerful beings, the Maykrs. The Night Sentinels served as their protectors, while the priests of the Order Deag would worship and venerate them. Thus they formed a warrior society, led by kings who were required to lead their troops in battle to be regarded as worthy, with the Wraiths as their patron gods. The Wraiths possessed powerful abilities, which they granted to the Argenta, who saw these gifts as magic. Soon after this impact, from the wound torn in the planet emerged angelic creatures known as the Wraiths, who spread across Argent D'Nur as their immense power, known in Argenta legends as the Wraithcall, seeded life onto the planet, starting with a race of giants called the Ancestrals and then the first men. ![]() Millions of years ago the planet of Argent D'Nur was dormant and lifeless, until a massive crystal-like object known as the World Spear mysteriously arrived from the depths of space and crashed into the planet with enough force to pierce it from pole to pole.
