Chapter 8: The Raukonium wars of Gotland

The ancient civilisation of the Raukons thrived in the distant galaxy of Eridonis Prime. They had harnessed the secrets of Raukonium, believed to be the essence of creation itself.

As their civilisation advanced, factions emerged, craving dominion over the cosmos using Raukonium’s power. Their ambitions diverged from their ancestors’ teachings, leading to a millennium-long war.

To end the Raukonium wars, the intergalactic mission #CAiÖ-21 succeeded in sending the crystal into space, uniting the civilisations by removing the powerful substance. However, it simply gifted the wars to another civilisation on the other side of the galaxy, the Gotlänningar.

The council

He, a Raukon and high member of a mighty council, fought to expel the Raukonium for the greater good of their civilisation. This solution surely created conflicts with other factions wanting to harness the crystal in their quest for more power.

The crystal essence was successfully launched into outer space despite the lives lost to fulfil the plan.

The opposition

Deep in the shadows a mighty power had always lurked. Now, on the brink of extinction, they rose to the challenge of domination over their world. All with the same origin, but different futures.
