Aleph was dislodged and began a destructive descent down upon the village, and though the adult Adepts of the village tried to slow its descent with their Psynergy so that the rest of the village could evacuate, tragedy was sowed, as several of the townspeople appeared to perish when they were hit by the boulder. A massive boulder situated somewhere on Mt. Three years before the present day in Golden Sun, a terrible thunderstorm spontaneously appeared and struck Vale and Mt. Golden Sun The disturbing of Sol Sanctum Believing that Psynergy was a craft unique to Vale, the villagers also made it a law never to reveal Psynergy to any visitors from the outside world. Aleph, the Valeans had made it their tradition to stand guard over the entrance to Sol Sanctum and to refrain from entering it freely so as to preserve the shrine's sanctity (though they remained unaware of the true secrets locked deep within the shrine). Holding their power to be a blessing and gift by gods and by Mt. The residents of the village were all Adepts to varying degrees, and they recognized it was due to having lived life in the proximity of a large Psynergy Stone formation near the foot of the mountain, a structure they had adopted as a village monument. Aleph at the western part of the modern-day north-central continent of Angara, where they would remain outside of public knowledge and reach for the ages to come.īy the time of Golden Sun, a village named Vale had been founded at the foot of Mt. The secrets to Alchemy were hidden within a dungeon-like shrine named Sol Sanctum, constructed within Mt. The world was nearly torn apart, but was ultimately saved from its own denizens by the bravery of a few wise men: They sealed away the power of Alchemy out of the reach of the nations of the world of Weyard, and the wars subsided. The world became the stage for a great conflict, as the nations abused the power of Alchemy to raise armies and wage war against each other. Mankind's dreams of endless riches, and then of eternal life, eventually turned to dreams of dominion over all that lived, and aspirations of conquest. Alchemy could allow for fantastic effects, such as the transmutation of lead into solid gold, and the ability to thwart death itself.Īlchemy, being what fueled the rise of civilization in this era, would similarly fuel the rise of untold strife, however. This was made possible by a great power named Alchemy, which is apparently similar to Psynergy, but is much more powerful in that all four of the building blocks of reality are manipulated simultaneously as one rather than just a single element at a time. While it seems all lifeforms on Weyard are innately aligned with a given element and all sapient and/or sentient lifeforms among them have the potential to manipulate that element with Psynergy, the ability to do so is typically not developed within most individuals an individual is only truly able to employ Psynergy at will once special circumstances have been met, the most typical of which is either prolonged exposure or sudden contact with a rare, rocky substance called Psynergy Stone, the existence of which is generally unknown by the world at large by the start of Golden Sun.Īges before the start of Golden Sun, Weyard was a much different place taking residence upon the lands of the world were thriving civilizations and clans based on each of the four elements. An individual that has the ability to manipulate at least one of these elements from their surrounding environment using a mental, spiritual power is classifiable as an Adept of that element, and the act of elemental manipulation, which resembles magical sorcery, is known as using Psynergy of that element. To the denizens of modern-day Weyard that live near Gaia Falls, it is an as-of-yet-unsolved mystery how it is that the world's waters never "run out".Īll matter on Weyard, living or inanimate and including humanity itself, is comprised of any combination of the four elemental building blocks of reality, which are modeled off the four Greek Classical Elements: Venus, the element of earth, ground, and plantlife Mars, the element of fire and heat Jupiter, the element of air and electricity and Mercury, the element of water and the cold. The oceans of the world endlessly flow over the edge of the world's entire perimeter, and all points along the perimeter where the water of the world falls into the abyss below is collectively known as Gaia Falls. The world of Weyard is a world modeled off the ancient real-world view of the Flat Earth, the view that the shape of the world is a flat disk-like plane where there is a clearly defined edge dropping into the abyss below.
