The Precursors are an ancient race that first discovered the Traveler. However, despite being ushered into a Golden Age, they grew dissatisfied with the Traveler's lack of communication and the chaotic nature of the Light, and so sought its opposite. When the Traveler fled their world after the Precursors attempted to merge it with the Veil, they used the latter's power to merge themselves into a single being - the Witness - to bring the universe to a Final Shape.
Overview
In ancient times, the Precursors were once a nomadic people who trekked through the desert of a distant world for survival. However, they would enter a Golden Age after discovering a large white orb buried in the sand they would call the Gardener. The Gardener terraformed the deserts into fertile deltas and lush gardens and gifted the Precursors with the means of building great cities and ships that let them travel to other worlds that they could terraform themselves.
In time, various factions of Precursors would form under a consensus, all with their own interpretations of how to enact the Final Shape. The Solipist believed that one's self is the only existing "Final Shape" in this reality and all other realities. The Rendolent, who were described as "self-flagellating pessimists", believed that the Final Shape would only be brought upon by their own destruction. The Penitent desired to rid the universe of all suffering by any means and believed that anyone who did not act to do so was complicit in its repetitive cycle.
Two other groups were mentioned to have existed. The Bountiful, who the Precursors hadn't "corrected [them] on the path of their great, fatal error", and the Primacy, who had used the Gardener's gifts for subjugation).
