“The people of Athas looked up and saw the stars. From there they would not rest until they touched them all”

Likely an account of the early Astral Elves

On the Ambition of Athasians:

“The people of Athas were never content with the limits of their world. From the moment they first looked upon the stars, they knew their destiny lay among them. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and unparalleled ambition, they embarked on a journey that would see them reach the farthest corners of the cosmos.”

On the Use of Ancient Spelljamming:

“With ancient spelljamming technology, the Athasians harnessed the power of the arcane to traverse the vast emptiness of space. Their ships, gliding through the ether, became symbols of their ingenuity and boldness, carrying them to worlds unimagined and challenges unforeseen.”

On the Hubris and Downfall:

“In their relentless pursuit of expansion, the Athasians failed to see the shadows creeping upon them. Their hubris, their belief in their invincibility, led to overreach and conflict. It was not the stars that proved their downfall, but their own hearts, consumed by a desire for conquest that knew no bounds.”

“I remember the day vividly, the flickering light of their dying sun casting long shadows over their desperate faces. The Athasians, once proud conquerors of the stars, had become a people driven to the brink of extinction. Their magic, the very lifeblood of their civilization, was fading, and with it, their hope. As an astral elf, I found their plight both tragic and fascinating. They were a curious and entertaining people, driven by an indomitable spirit even in the face of overwhelming odds. In that fleeting moment of our encounter, I saw the essence of their greatness and their fatal flaw—their relentless pursuit of a new beginning, even as their world crumbled around them.”
