"Yes, I do. Turns out you can learn [i]a lot[/i] about the Eliksni from Variks if you get him drunk enough" Switch chucked to himself a bit. "I'm aware of how the traveller once came to the Eliksni in a time of need, and uplifted them into a golden age of their own. The traveller, or the great machine as they called it, birthed the servitors. They sustained and empowered the Eliksni by generating their life-giving ether; vital to their survival" "And then came the whirlwind. Your master, the darkness, descended upon their kind and forced the traveller into abandoning them, leaving their whole civilisation to crumble and fall into a dark age of their own. And thus, the Eliksni became known as the Fallen. Even today, they battle against us in a vein attempt to retake the traveller for themselves" "And I know what you're about to point out next: how the traveller did the exact same to us. It came to uplift us, only to try and escape the darkness the moment it entered our system. The only reason the traveller remains in this system, is Rasputin. That's all. All it took was for one warmind to cripple the traveller to the point of immobilisation" "Without Rasputin's intervention, neither you or I would exist"
