Superion - City of the Gods

The fleeing people were in search of sanctuary. Assuming that there was no safe place left in Misilen, they gathered on the island to which Ia had once sent the 13 apostles. The undead soldiers of the dark army tracked them down, but were not able to approach the pillar of light, as the presence of the goddess was still too strong. The terrified people soon realized that this place was safe from the attackers. Steeped in the radiance of the pillar of light, they named the place Superion, and began to erect a city.

The rumor of Ia's death and Keledus' evil deed spread like wildfire among the people. But a rumor is still nothing but a rumor, and all those who had dedicated themselves to the building of the city remained on their own. Citizens of all the four great cities were among the fugitives, and so it came that all kinds of expertise were taught and passed on among the citizens of this new city. Those who were not blessed with any special skills began with the construction of the city wall. The young and the strong assembled to scout out their surrounding area and to keep an eye on the movements of the dark army.

The human potential! That was what Ia had noticed in humanity so long ago, and that was what she trusted. That which had carried Keledus so far, also lived on the citizens of Superion. The city's scouts gathered information on the enemy camp and sightings of Ia, isolated from the rest of the world because of the dark army.

The most valuable piece of information was the news that after Ia's presumed destruction, when she shattered into dozens of rays of light, these rays of light had fallen to Earth and turned to into special stones. These fragments of Ia were called Maestones by the humans. Imbued with divine power as they were, they became the most powerful tool for resistance against the dark army. This message gave the people of the city new faith and affirmed them in their hopes to save the goddess.
