==Biography==
In the past, these five people joined Lefance in his fight to overcome Arem’s reign of terror. After dispatching most of Arem’s army, they joined Lefance in engaging Arem and killing him in battle in order to end his reign of terror. After Arem’s demise, they were with Lefance when he founded the Celceta Dynasty with him as the king. After he and his disciples passed away, the Mask of the Sun’s power was handed down to their descendants.
Lefance’s fortress’s city, thanks to the Eldeen, was able to withstand the assault of Sieg Fact and the Romun soldiers he borrowed. But tragedy struck when Sieg Fact stole the Mask of the Sun’s controlling influence, the Mask of the Moon. Leading to the Mask of the Sun being unstable and triggering a great crisis in Celceta involving earthquakes, famine, and demons. 
This forced the descendants of the five disciples to use the last of their strength to seal away the Mask of the Sun by sinking the city beneath the sea of trees.
After Adol defeats a cursed Lemnos, the latter tells him they must protect Slano’s tomb from the Clan of Darkness. When Adol and Karna investigate the tomb of Slano which was located in the Nelgal Lava Pits, Adol touches the tombstone leading to a fight with a suit of armor inhabited by a fiery spirit.
Upon defeating the creature, Adol is greeted by Slano’s spirit who tells him that evil people are in the process of opening a sealed gate and Adol’s strength is needed. Slano then grants Adol fire magic before disappearing. When Gruda and his flunkies try to steal the fire magic from Adol, an angered Slano triggers an earthquake, forcing the trio to flee with Adol and Karna following shortly after. 
After scaling the Great Roda Tree and touching Talim’s tomb, Adol faces off against a giant two-headed bird in a treetop-like arena. Although it charged at Adol and launched feathers as projectiles, Adol fell the creature and was greeted by Talim’s spirit for passing the test. Talim then grants Adol the Alter Magic that lets him turn into a Roo before fading.
Following the events of the Storm Sanctuary, Mayor Melchia gives Adol the Sand Flute, saying it is linked to Miyu the guardian of Leparo Village. Melchia then asks Adol to travel to the Quicksand Valley to find Miyu’s tomb at the bottom. The mayor explains that there was a road to the sanctuary from Libra Village in the past. Two years prior to the game, a massive quake struck the land, killing many people. A fence was constructed near the Sacred Castle in the valley to prevent children from getting inside.
If Adol proves his worth, Miyu will give him an audience. At the Quicksand Valley, Duren explains to Adol that broken pillars obstruct their path. He places his bets that the Clan of Darkness was responsible. Duren then remembers that he found a pillar closeby with a weird symbol. Adol examines the pillar and uses the Sand Flute, summoning the pyramid containing Miyu’s tomb.
Duren follows Adol in before the pyramid sinks. Duren proceeds to check the road only to come across a shut door. Adol proceeds to examine Miyu’s tombstone, leading to his next test. The test involves fighting a draconic sand snake. After besting the Snake, Adol is greeted by Miyu’s spirit. He warns Adol that if the sealed power is released, all living things will be in torment. He then grants Adol the Warp Magic before fading.
After investigating a flooded dungeon behind a hidden tunnel in a water cave found with the Mask of the Moon, Adol manages to locate Rady’s Tomb and makes contact with the headstone, leading to another test. Here, he fights a set of armor guarded by a barrier and two merman statues. After Adol dispatches the statues, he proceeds to take on the armor without its barrier.
Once Adol destroys the armor, he is greeted with the spirit of Rady who reveals that whoever passes the disciples’ tests will be granted an audience with Lefance he then gives Adol the Freeze Magic before fading.
Later, Origa, leader of the Moon Village Serene, informs Adol that the tomb of the village guardian Torie is embedded in Fire Mountain, but someone she presumes to be the Clan of Darkness has blocked the path with rocks and asks Adol to visit Banjo the alchemist to help with making the potion that would destroy the rocks. However, the Romun army took away the village’s Kibie Dust and Adol must reclaim it. He manages to impersonate one of the soldiers in order to reclaim the powder so the explosive Black Potion can be made.
Exploring Fire Mountain after the rocks were blown, Adol explores the tomb and Torie’s test was different from the last four disciples. He must explore a bizarre dungeon that defies gravity and contains treasure chest traps. At the end, he confronts the boss of this test, a teleporting cosmic wizard clad in shoulder pads and a helmet.
After passing the test, Adol is greeted by Torie’s spirit. She explains that her and her fellow disciples’ power and purpose are the same as Lefance’s and grants Adol the Seeker Magic before fading.
Just as dying Eldeel frees Leeza and asks her to forgive him, the spirits of the five disciples appear one by one, lamenting that the seal that they’ve spent the 700 years guarding broke. They can condemn Eldeel for his actions, but it is never a solution for what is going to happen, the only option left since Arem is being resurrected is to destroy the Mask of the Sun forever. In order to do this, Adol must acquire the El Doran magic. They proceed to take Eldeel to where his people are so that he will never be alone again.
When Adol is approaching the Temple of the Sun, the spirits of the five disciples greet him and tell him the final challenge is at hand and use the last of their strength to empower the Mask of the Moon so he can challenge Arem before fading away.
Following Arem’s demise, Lefance tells a falling Adol that all has come to end with the power being restored to its proper place and the ancient capital’s destruction. With the mission of him and his fellow disciples accomplished, their spirits can finally rest prior to using the last of his power to teleport Adol out of the collapsing city and to Leeza’s side.
