These Great Old Ones were people with the wisdom of gods. These people were the ones who created the Twelve Guardians. They also built the city of Lud and its machinery. Although there are no written records of these people or the time period in which they lived, there is information about them passed down generation to generation. According to legend, the Great Old Ones remade the world in some attempt to make it better. However, these Great Old Ones destroyed themselves, either through pride or some sort of nuclear war. The creations of these Great Old Ones are now breaking down and coming apart. Some examples of these machines that are going haywire include the bear, Blaine and Patricia.
