The Pre-Baghar Civilization is a proposed civilization, largely lost to history, that is conjectured by some scholarly historians in Wisteria to have been a general precursor to any of the civilizations on known Ahren, with the possible exception of the Pre-Kindling Orcs, or possibly the Dwarves.

The Pre-Baghar Civilization is largely known through artifacts and architectural ruins left behind since their supposed disappearance, such as the city of Baghar and the Font of the Axis in Herroka. Alternate theories have been proposed for the creation of many of these artifacts, such as divine intervention on the part of Anghara - it is likely that this civilization worshiped Anghara (or an aspect of it).

The Pre-Baghar Civilization is known by its iconography and common architectural and artistic motifs and by a sizable component of the Library of Baghar, though debate rages among the scholars of that city as to whether or not the records are histories or a legendarium, and the collection is jealously guarded against outsiders. Indeed, given the scale of their constructions there is some argument as to whether or not the Pre-Baghar Civilization is fully humanoid.
