Pre-universe: Difference between revisions

The '''Pre-Universe''' was the [[Universe]], or perhaps many Universes, which came before this one.  After the destruction of the Pre-Universe, some [[:Category:Pre-Universe species|species]] found their way into this Universe, and some (such as the [[Old One]]s, and [[The Beast]]) had [[god]]-like powers.  Thus, some of the most powerful beings in existence came from before the Universe itself was created, making them older even than the Time Lords. ([[NA]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire]]'', [[MA]]: ''[[Millennial Rites]]'')  Some beings, such as The Beast, claimed to come from before time itself, which may indicate a time before any Universes at all yet existed.   

Amongst the races that claimed to be older than the universe itself, were the [[Old Ones]] such as [[Azathoth]], [[Yog-Sothoth]] and [[Shub-Niggurath]].  On many planets, these beings became part of the legends and religions.  The Old Ones were worshipped by the first intelligent species to evolve on Earth - the [[Silurian]]s.  It is unclear whether the Old Ones were a single species, or merely a term to describe any unimaginably powerful being that was able to escape the Pre-Universe into ours.  If the latter is true, then [[the Beast]] may be an Old One too, and not all Old Ones are necessarily equal in age or power.
