History . Golden Age . At one point all four of the tribes lived together peacefully in harmony . Rebena Te Ra was home to all four tribes and served as a capital of this era , housing the Great Crystal beneath its underground caverns . King Kolka , a Selkie , ruled over Rebena Te Ra until he stepped down from the throne so his daughter Tilika , a half Selkie and half Clavat , could rule as Queen . In an alternate timeline Galdes , the high priest and king of the Lunite cultists , plotted to take the Great Crystal and become a god using the power of the moon prior to being trapped within an unending loop by Yuri and Chelinka . Using the Great Crystal , Yuri altered history so that the events of the red moon never happen with the satellite no longer shining red . Cataclysm and Caravans . The Golden Age ended when a Meteor fell from the sky and destroyed the Great Crystal with Rebena Te Ra among many era that fall to ruins . Within the Meteor was the Meteor Parasite , which spreads Miasma across the world . Luckily , pieces of the Great Crystal were spread across the world and the people soon built settlements around them as the crystal kept the miasma at bay . In order to preserve the crystals ' radiance , the towns send out caravans once every two years to collect three drops of Myrrh to purify the crystal . Generations later , one Caravan from the town of Tipa learns of the Meteor Parasite and of the existence to two memory eating beings born from its arrival : Lady Mio and Raem . While Mio only nibbles on a memory from time to time , Raem consumes mass amounts while intending to preserve the Meteor Parasite to prolong the bad memories . In the battle that ensures , Raem absorbs Mio to become Memiroa being defeated and entering a state of rest . With Raem ' s defeat , the Tipa caravanners are able to kill the Meteor Parasite with the miasma ceasing . Age of Rebuilding . With the world freed from the miasma , the people begin to rebuild . One such is King Leo who is granted the crystalline art of Architek to restore his father ' s kingdom of Padarak to its former glory . Leo later learns of the Dark Lord , the original ruler of the land Padarak was built on and the one who has held his father King Epitav captive for years . Leo and his subjects defeat the Dark Lord , the villain acknowledging the child as a true ruler before taking residence in the Dark Crystal within the Darklord Flying Tower where his remaining forces of miasma thriving monsters took up refuge . Sixteen years later , the Dark Lord ' s daughter Mira declared war to become as feared as her father . Eventually , after defeating King Leo , Mira declares her campaign over and forge a truce with the Clavat to work together to create a world where everyone can live in peace . Timeline .

It is full of monsters with a waterfall inside a cave at the end where a Giant Crab is fought . In " Ring of Fates " , River Belle is a secret dungeon which is unlocked after the game is completed .
