Born from the Maker's yearning for harmony, the world of Naraka was stained by the treachery of Akh, which did bring forth the twelve Grand Aeons from the unhallowed union of Laila, she who is the Sun, and Yom, he who is the Moon.
This celestial strife reached its fell peak when Bahamut, wroth with the Aeon Rivotra who was corrupted by the Blight, did cleave Naraka asunder, establishing in the south the Order of the Sun, the faithful followers of Mother Laila, and in the north the Order of the Moon, those swayed by Father Yom and the influence of Rivotra.
This ancient sundering left a deep legacy of sorrow, amongst which was the tragedy of Clarissa Constantine, a mortal woman bound to the wild Aeon Demantra Ent'tra, who then sought an end to her timeless life with keen Mythrilblood and was changed into a great sacrificial tree in Mandaraka, a symbol rooted deep in the long annals of the world.
In the long ages after, upon the continent of Bornika, grievously torn by six centuries of brutal war between the realms, among them Jindara and Xiangdu, where strange artifice and ancient sorcery clashed, three young squires of Jindara—Jade, Gala, and Luna—did survive the perilous draught of the deadly 'Muscle Force' serum, forging their fellowship in the midst of loss.
The common war turned dire with fell dragon-assaults and grievous tidings brought by the Priestess Hinabi: that Rivotra had laid Xiangdu waste and Bahamut was slain. As despair grew heavy, Ave, the Night Princess of the Order of the Sun, arrived in wondrous fashion.
