These wielders were called "Ascans", and very little remains of their culture. Some speculate that their rise and fall occurred in Pre-History, when the world was young. Some speculate that the Ascans were original inhabitants of Xandria when it was a part of [[The Quelmar Realm#Ywrought\|Ywrought]], the super-continent, and were wiped out when the continent shattered into Quelmar.
