Despite the lack of a star to provide warmth on the surface, life was able to exist deep in the oceans as bacteria that fed from the chemicals from hydrothermal vents and were kept warm enough to grow via a rogue moon that had been caught in orbit. In time, the Quassin would evolve into sentient humanoid life with thin bodies and limbs, webbed hands and feet, large eyes, gills in their necks, sharp thin teeth and semi-transparent skin, though they were still about as intelligent as fish. | ||
However, after the arrival of the Traveler, the Quassin species became an intelligent species, slowly developing from a primitive civilization that divided different Quassin into groups called '''Shoals''' that built their homes around hydrothermal vents. The Traveler's [[Light]] allowed the Quassin to create tools and improved structures by manipulating the materials produced by hydrothermal vents, eventually being able to safely reach the surface to see the Traveler. The Traveler would eventually leave their homeworld, but the Quassin continued to hold it in high regard and worship for years, referring to it as the '''"God Pearl"'''. | |||
The tales of these events would be recounted to many young Quassin, including Tivon who dreamed of finding the God Pearl. Eventually, he would make a pilgrimage to the surface after having a dream of meeting a [[the Witness|mysterious dark figure]]. After finding the figure and having a lengthy conversion, Tivon would be convinced of its [[Final Shape|way of thinking]] after being told that his species went against the way of the universe and the Traveler's interference would bring his people suffering and would be taken away. The Quassin would be wiped out by the Witness not long after with the use of its [[Pyramid]]s' gravitational weaponry to distort the planet, creating a great tidal wave that destroyed their civilizations in the violent undertow. | The tales of these events would be recounted to many young Quassin, including Tivon who dreamed of finding the God Pearl.
