Ancients are browbirds with extended lifespans who have mastered one or more aspects after achieiving some sort of enlightenment in this life or a past life. They are often highly respected members of browbird society who often find themselves in positions of leadership or importance. The concept of royalty is rarer in most facets of browbird society, so an ancient would be the closest thing comparable to a royal in most places. Their magical potential and inherited wisdom often makes them perfect candidates to take on big responsabilities! However, not all will fit into, or even be interested in, such roles!
Being born as an ancient is up to complete chance, there is no possible way to predict who will be an ancient and having ancient parents doesn't increase the chances. It could be anyone, at any point, although the chances are one in a million. Those born as an ancient are often given a more rigerous education and stricter magical training in order to ensure the chances of them using their strength for nefarious purposes are low. Those born as ancients are said to have become one in a past life, thus when being born they inherited an ancient's soul and the vague whispers of the past's wisdom that come with it.Not being born an ancient doesn't negate all chances of becoming one though. Any browbird can obtain aspect mastery through rigorous training and following a destined path set out for them. It often takes many long years of dedication and training to achieve ancienthood.
