In the First Age of the realm, armies of nightmarish soldiers marched across Mythoss, set upon the total destruction of all that stood in their path.
The Great Mother, Selyne, refused to allow her home to be destroyed, or her children to be slaughtered. Calling upon her powers, she brought forth four mighty warriors to stand against the evil that Helyos had wrought. These warriors would come to be called the Great Beasts, and Selyne created each of them specifically to match the horrors of the evil generals called the Dark Four.
One by one these mighty warriors emerged. Taking their places as the leaders of armies dedicated to protecting Mythoss, they would defeat their evil enemies during a period that history would one day call the Reign of the Beasts.
