The Archons were the ancient rulers of the Old Kingdom. The first Archon was William Black, who rose to power after freeing Albion from the tyrannical rule of the Court. William Black was also the first recorded Will-user, which gave rise to a bloodline full of powerful Heroes, who would go on to change and shape the world many times over.

Under William's reign, Albion entered a golden age of peace and prosperity, but his fight with the Court and his time in the Void had weakened his body and infected him with a wasting illness. Faced with this decay, he vanished from the world, leaving his children, who without enemy to vanquish, had grown petty, selfish and cruel -- which began the corruption of the Old Kingdom.

The Archons - as a ruling class - came to end on the day the Spire was first activated.
