    Lore Notes from Tutorial

    Temple of the Sun Goddess

    Her Radiance once protected all Realms, Above and below

    The Moon grew Jealous of the Sun, it was no great surprise

    A great shadow. Long lost... was now freed

    At dawn the battle began. By nightfall it was lost

    Her radiance knew nightfall would bring an end to everything, and so sacrificed herself and her realm...

    Now you must step forth to enter the Prime Realm, join the battle, and become a beacon of light.
