Olm

Attention: This page is still under construction and is incomplete.

The Olm are a nearly extinct group hailing from an unknown land. Many hundreds of years ago they were the dominant group in the Wynn region, and had built a great civilization there. They used a theocracy, which was led by their high priestess. The Olm took an interest in Meteors, and built at least one observatory to track their fall in their domain. Additionally, the Olm were had access to both Runic and Time magic, which were likely related in some way.

Olm in Timeless Ruin

• Anya: Likely the Olmic high priestess, they foresaw the destruction of the Olm's civilization, and made a bracelet which could stop it. The bracelet, which is now known as Anya's Penumbra was ultimately never used as Anya's ancestors could not manage the bracelet well.
• Froner: An Olmic astronomer who watched the meteors that fell on the mountains around what is now the Silent Expanse. When the dark beast began their attack on the town, they were the first to spot it.
• Unnamed Olm: Found in a ruin near Time Valley. Thanks to the surrounding time magic, they were revived for a short amount of time, saying one sentence before dying again.

Known Ruins

The Olm built a lot in their time, and much of what they created still stands to this day in the form of large ruins.

• Time Valley: A place where the flow of time is much slower than normal, being built by the Olm around the Temple of Time. The region contains several golem-like guardians in the larger buildings, as well as undead ancient corpses. No one has come to settle in this region, but it is watched over by Old Man Martyn, who allowed a researcher named Asher to live in the place for a time.
  • Temple of Time: This is the most important and well preserved of all locations within Time Valley. It allows for people to look backwards in time by placing an item on its altar from the place and period. It appears to be possible to bring items back from the past, but it isn't possible to change past events.
• Forgotten Town: While it is not known what the real name for this ancient Olmic town is, Forgotten Town is probably the best preserved of all Olmic Ruins. It is near the entrance to the Silent Expanse, and only contains Quiet Observers and the giant Omnispective Wanderers. It was originally home to an observatory and a huge cathedral, which houses the Tol Rune Altar.

History

Note: The Olm's history is rather incomplete and has been not put into a timeline!

The Olm were the native inhabitants of the Silent Expanse, where they build Ruined Olmic City, their capital.

At some point they were invaded by (presumably) The "Dern Beast", forcing them to its domain, leaving the few remaining Olm to flee.

Remaining Olm constructed Time Valley, presumably in attempt to revert the events. This, however, failed and they were found.

WARNING: The next section is about Ancients. It was concluded by editors that they are likely the same race, although it isn't officially confirmed.

Spoiler alert: The hidden text contains spoilers relating to Evidence.

Mostly theorised by editor ImagineCreative Their architecture is similar. It is logical that the Olm tried to flee as far as possible from Darkness, but travelling across the Ocean was not an option. The Olm had access to the same crystals, as they are buried around the Silent Expanse and one Olm used the word 'crystallites' as curse word..

Trivia

• The Olm are gray in color.
• Their language is now known as Wynnic.
• It is not known where the Olm are actually from.
• Although Anya's Penumbra is called a weapon of pure light, its description and name suggest that the light was not actually the part that could save the Olm.
• It is theorised that Bob's mother was Olmic. As described in Ragni's Library: "During the fight, a woman who never said her name, nor where she had come from (she certainly wasn't one of Ragni's own), gave birth to a baby boy on the cold floors of the sewer." and "his [Bob's] skin was a shade of grey unnatural to those of Ragni, who have always been fair skinned."
