The Recessed were not just a few dozen, they were hundreds, their numbers slowly reaching one thousand after the first five hundred years since their arrival in the world of Abyss.
There were hundreds of thousands of Celestials that were buried and sealed away within the Underdark or the Sun itself, and with each year, new Recessed would constantly appear.
At first, there were only ten of them, the first Recessed to have ever risen back, they fought at first, like beastly undead monsters with nothing in their minds other than power.
But as they absorbed and cultivated the corrupted sunlight of the sealed Sun, their memories and consciousness were regained, and their intelligence rapidly improved.
