ancient power
Long-forgotten dominion
Ancient power refers to authority, strength, or supernatural force associated with distant ages or civilizations long past.
The phrase often suggests something primordial and mysterious—magic from forgotten eras, gods worshipped before recorded history, or political dominion that once shaped the world: The temple was said to hold an ancient power.
In fantasy and gaming contexts, ancient power typically means potent abilities or artifacts from legendary times, often dormant until rediscovered.
