Zifalok, like other Great Beings, was once one of the rulers of Spherus Magna. But they wanted more time with their creations, so they made the Element Lords. Dispute this, Zifalok was more interested in creating records than science. Instead, he named himself Chronicler and Historian among the Great Beings. He recorded everything: Meetings, wars and battles, projects, Social Structure and Interactions, and so much more. He spoke to a creation and brought him into the Hand of Artakha. When The Shattering occurred, he fled with Xeal's group to a remote world.
