====== First Contact ====== The event known as First Contact marks the historical moment when the first two sentient races of the Arcanex Galaxy discovered each other, setting the stage for an era of interstellar collaboration and advancement. The [[sentient_species:volkyran|Volkyran]] people are inherently attuned to magic, able to control it naturally and with fewer obstacles compared to other races. Their unique affinity for magic allowed them to harness the power of mana and become the first to master the arts of spellcasting and magical manipulation. Over time, their mastery of magic reached unprecedented heights, culminating in a momentous experiment. In their quest to explore the limits of their magical capabilities, the Volkyrans attempted to open a portal to an unknown destination. Unbeknownst to them, this portal would lead to the [[sentient_species:humans|human]] homeworld, a planet inhabited by another sentient race. When the portal opened, the Volkyrans stepped through and encountered humans for the first time. The Volkyrans, recognizing the potential for collaboration, shared their profound understanding of magic with the humans. They helped the humans develop technology that allowed them to harness and utilize magic. This exchange of knowledge led to significant advancements for the human race, who integrated magic into their technological innovations. The collaboration between Volkyran magic and human innovation resulted in the humans' rapid technological advancement. With newfound magical capabilities, humanity was able to develop spacefaring technology, propelling them into the cosmos. This marked the beginning of humanity's journey into space and the start of a new era in the Arcanex Galaxy, where interstellar travel and cooperation became possible.
