  • Lorien was the very first of the First Ones, and the very first of them to gain sentience. His race was born naturally immortal, until later generations began to age and die. At some unspecified time Lorien settled deep in the ground on Z'ha'dum. This was the reason the Shadows kept returning to the planet after being defeated in the past "Shadow Wars". It was their way to pay respect to Lorien. In 2281 he returned to the galaxy to take John Sheridan, in his last minutes of life, beyond the Rim.
  • 25,000 years ago, Lorien was suffering the same problems that Earth is experiencing now—overpopulation, global warming, food shortages, and unnecessary war. The inhabitants of Lorien realized they needed to change their ways, and therefore the Elders came to power. They took away their guns and their bombs, and awakened the Phoenix Stones.

  • Lorien was a Knorth Highborn lady on the world before Rathillien. She was the mother of Glendar.
  • 25,000 years ago, Lorien was suffering the same problems that Earth is experiencing now—overpopulation, global warming, food shortages, and unnecessary war. The inhabitants of Lorien realized they needed to change their ways, and therefore the Elders came to power. They took away their guns and their bombs, and awakened the Phoenix Stones. This was the event that called the Chimærae out of hiding and pressed the evolution of the Garde, creating Legacies. For the next couple dozen millennia, the Loric lived in something known as the Great Loric Age, or the Golden Age of Lorien. This brought forth an annual celebration known as the Quartermoon. It was a two-week period in which both moons hang on opposite sides of the horizon. While the Loric had interactions with humanity, they also interacted with another, more hostile species known as the Mogadorians. On a recon mission to the planet, the barbaric Mogadorians attacked violently. Due to fear of the Mogadorians, Elder Setrákus Ra began to mine Loralite, the planet's greatest gemstone, to create his Augmentations. He was later "executed," but was secretly banished by Elder Pittacus Lore. In 1999, on the first night of the Quartermoon, the Mogadorians invaded and attacked, led by Setrákus Ra. While the Garde fought valiantly, they were defeated. Within a week, the Mogadorians strip-mined Lorien for everything it was worth. The planet is now a monochromatic gray and black, the surface scorched from the fires that burned away the atmosphere. No wind blows on the surface anymore, and there is no water or oxygen. However, the Loralite beneath the planet is still "alive," in a way.
  • Lorien was the very first of the First Ones, and the very first of them to gain sentience. His race was born naturally immortal, until later generations began to age and die. At some unspecified time Lorien settled deep in the ground on Z'ha'dum. This was the reason the Shadows kept returning to the planet after being defeated in the past "Shadow Wars". It was their way to pay respect to Lorien. In 2261, John Sheridan rediscovered Lorien on Z'ha'dum, after following Kosh's instructions to jump into a deep pit before the Shadow capital was destroyed. Sheridan had actually died from the fall, but Lorien was able to resuscitate him for a time. Lorien then gave him some of his own life force to sustain Sheridan, but only for 20 years. Lorien left Z'ha'dum with Sheridan and traveled to Babylon 5 to help advise on matters relating the First Ones. At Coriana VI he helped bring an end to the Shadow and Vorlon conflict and led the remaining First Ones out beyond the Rim. In 2281 he returned to the galaxy to take John Sheridan, in his last minutes of life, beyond the Rim.
