The saga of the Golden Sun begins long before the transformative event happened over Mount Aleph and the Village of Vale. |
|
The relics that could release the Golden Sun were hidden within a temple known as Sol Sanctum. |
|
|
|
Then came a day that the villagers Garet, Isaac, and Jenna set out to meet the local scholar of Alchemy. |
|
They stumbled across strangers in the shadows who desired to possess the relics of the temple. |
|
|
|
They rushed to find the scholar Kraden, who said they had to find out if Sol Sanctum had been breached.
|
|
Though only priests were allowed inside, Kraden and his friends dared to enter the temple to find out the truth. |
|
|
|
The traps they found within the temple should hav escared them away, but its mysteries lured them ever deeper. |
|
But what they truly couldn't resist was the spirit of adventure. |
|
|
|
Their final destination took them to the heart of the mountain where the relics of the temple had been hidden. |
|
Their moment of wander was interrupted by the arrival of thieving fiends!
They'd duped Kraden into solving the temple's riddles for them! |
|
|
|
Their guide was Felix, none other than Jenna's brother, who was thought drowned during a storm in Vale three years earlier.
|
|
The thieves stole Jenna and Kraden away...
and then stole the legendary relics from Sol Sanctum... the Elemental Stars! |
|
|
|
Isaac and Garet were left to fend for themselves inside the relic chamber.
|
|
Their exit was cut off. They couldn't leave the chamber! |
|
|
|
The mountain began to shake angrily, awoken by the loss of the elemental relics.
Magma began to bubble and gush. Mount Aleph was, in truth, a slumbering volcano! |
|
Isaac and Garet were trapped! |
|
|
|
Just then, the protector of Sol Sanctum appeared! The godlike Wise One had come to their rescue! |
|
The Wise One explained that a nightmare had been put into motion by the theft of the Elemental Stars.
Four lighthouses, which had sealed away the apocalyptic power of Alchemy, could now be powered back up! |
|
|
|
The lighthouses could be reignited with their matching Elemental Stars...
unleashing Alchemy upon the world. |
|
After telling of ancient catastrophes averted... and a new one soon to begin...
The Wise One teleported Isaac and Garet safely out of the mountain, and back up to the temple entrance. |
|
They were saved from the volcanic wrath of Mount Aleph. |
