Prysmosian religion holds that, in the ancient past, the deity Heskedor, the "living universe," created the cosmos from her essence and formed Prysmos from her heart. According to legend, Heskedor's lifeblood thus became the "Arcana Vast," a system of magic that bound the inhabitants of Prysmos to the greater universe and allowing some of their number to channel that power Good Men For many centuries, magic ruled over science and reason, but eventually this first Age of Magic gave way to an era of technological advancement, and worship of the Arcana Vast was regarded as an outmoded superstition. Cybertron No More

The only known survivor of the Age of Magic was a capricious wizard called Merklynn. Disgusted with the course that his species had taken, he sought to do away with the "vulgars" of technology; some three hundred years ago, did so by casting a spell that re-aligned the planet's three suns, bringing them into conjunction with one another. The power unleashed by the "Trinary Re-Alignment" had the effect of shutting down all electrical devices across the planet. With technology vanquished, Prysmos entered into its second Age of Magic, with Merklynn granting magical artifacts to his new champions, the Darkling Lords and Spectral Knights.

Merklynn was hasty in the construction of his spell, however, and when the suns slowly moved out of alignment, the tidal forces they unleashed ripped Prysmos apart, annihilating the entire world and most of its civilization. The handful of survivors fled into space, Schismatic and Merklynn, hoping to undo his mistake by finding a new world to colonize, found his way to Earth in the years leading up to World War II, where he disguised himself as "Garrison Kreiger". One Unholy Machine

In 2017, "Kreiger" joined Baron Ironblood's Iron Ring; plotting to use the alien Talisman on the core of Cybertron with the goal of terraforming the mechanical planet into a copy of his old homeworld. His plan was only partially successful, changing only a small portion of the planet into the city of "New Prysmos", First Strike #6 which soon became inhabited by the few Prysmosian refugees who had survived the devastation of their world.
