Age Before Creation

The "Age Before Creation" is a term used by the protoss to describe the distant past of the universe, likely as a reference to the period before the xel'naga entered the Milky Way galaxy. It is known for the following:


 * The universe comes into existance. The laws of physics and time come to be established.


 * After approx. 400 million years, the first stars begin to shine. The role of the hybrid is pre-ordained in this era of young stars by an unknown power.


 * A cycle begins that repeats itself multiple times throughout history. Time warps itself around this event, its regularity and starkness "polluting the waters of time."


 * The xel'naga discover/create the Argus Stone, holding it in high regard for its immense power. Their scholars meanwhile indirectly predict the events of the Great War.
