The Olakálos
Some say the Kósmos has always been there, ever changing. Some say it was created at some point, in a distant past.
However, the creatures of Kósmos don't dwell on that. Because there is one primordial thing they all agree on: the Olakálos.
Long ago, when the giant trees of Ágape were but little sprouts, and Lake Serenity was but a tiny pond, a group of creatures known as the Olakálos roamed Kósmos. They held a lot of knowledge and empathy, and had taken their role as educators of the world.
Each was said to hold deep wisdom of a virtue: Itule, with the virtue of Fairness; Limiet, with the virtue of Temperance; Mirësi, with the virtue of Kindness; Misericordia, with the virtue of Mercy; Moudrost, with the virtue of Wisdom itself; Rozkład, with the virtue of Determination; Veritá, with the virtue of Honesty; Vita, with the virtue of Valor; and Vremya, with the virtue of Patience.
The Olakálos claimed that, together, the virtues could help a creature be in tune with others and with the Kósmos itself, and become Harmonious.
Their teachings were so important that— even after their time had passed— the creatures of the Kósmos did not forget.
To this day, the lives that inhabit Kósmos aim to be better and more virtuous every day, in hopes to reach Harmony with their home, and with themselves.

The Alicorn Hunt
The Alicorn Hunt was a war that is thought to have occurred approximately two centuries ago in a vicious attempt at obtaining alicorn as a more viable material. Although most of the recorded information has been lost, it is known that— back when Kósmos's more social species were first figuring out crafting and constructing — one of Kósmos's larger species decided to attack the herds of unicorns and Eláfkeria that were found near the mining caves across Manta Gi's Cloak.
Because of unicorns' milder temper and fewer means of escape and defense, they quickly became the main target of the attacks, which were focused on taking the horns from the creatures through any possible means. Regardless of the method, the attacks always ended in death for the victims, causing the unicorn population to drop harshly, and leading the remaining herds to hide from diversely populated areas in fear.
Recent scrolls have been found describing herds of Eláfkeria that, instead of fleeing from the danger zones, decided to stay and fight back. It isn't known with certainty, but due to the low amount of alicorn in the market nowadays, it is thought that these herds helped turn the tide, somehow. Because some scrolls depict strange-looking Eláfkeria, it is thought that different subspecies might've existed prior to the war, and went extinct due to it, or found a place to hide in.
