The Ithacons are a race of humanity that diverged from Earth humans in the far future - thousands of years in the future - when humans have spread out across the galaxy. Eventually the last survivor of the Ithacon race (Prince Wayfinder) journeyed into Earth's distant past and founded a civilization in India, before fleeing Whirldemons and creating the Microverse.
The central aspect of Ithacon religion was the worship of the Sword in the Star. This powerful sentient sword was eventually transformed into the Engima Force which is the primary divine force of the Microverse.
