Antepyrovians

Antepyrovian may be an alternate name for Qin. "The concept art depicts another pair of Qin, Antepyrovians, or Ancients, depending on the term you choose to use."

"There is rumor of an ancient relic handed down by the Antepyrovians that suspends the normal aging process. But what length would the Children of Mann go to, to obtain such an object? Would anyone be safe wearing something so coveted?"

- Anara Starsong - Keeper of Chronicles

"Perhaps they all resigned to their fate. Perhaps they've just been hiding, biding their time. Nobody knows for sure. In either case, it’s been eons since anyone has seen the ancients – the true Ancients. Sure, there are those who claim to be descendants, but even their blood is diluted by now."

- Anara Starsong - Keeper of Chronicles

"Somewhere, someone, has done the unthinkable. An Antepyrovian has been awakened."
