 * 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 the 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 have scared 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 wonder 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 in 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, back up to the temple entrance.
 * They were saved from the volcanic wrath of Mount Aleph.

 * The day after Mount Aleph erupted, Isaac and Garet left Vale.

 * The three Adepts journeyed onward...
 * enduring trials of their heroism throughout the continent...
 * until they finally arrived in Imil, where they found the first Elemental Lighthouse.
 * Here they met Mia, who had devoted her life to caring for the sick and elderly of Imil.
 * Mia was also one of few members of her family still alive to look after the lighthouse, the one devoted to the water element.
 * Unfortunately, by the time Mia and the heroes entered the lighthouse, they found its beacon already lit.
 * Someone had beaten them there, someone who'd helped reignite its fire.
 * This intruder was Mia's cousin, Alex. As another surviving member of her family, Alex was a Water Adept, like Mia.
 * His betrayal of his people meant failure for the heroes as well. They could not stop the beacon from being lit.
 * Isaac and the party had traveled so far, yet their journey had been in vain.
 * Mia was bound by duty to join Isaac and his friends.
 * She knew that her cousin would stop at nothing to ignite all of the lighthouses.

 * Isaac and his friends survived the destruction around Lalivero.
 * They soon continued their hunt on an ancient boat bound for the Eastern Sea.
 * Though still in pursuit of those who had kidnapped Jenna...
 * They had also been given a new mission by the ruler of Tolbi.
 * Above all, this ruler wanted to find the lost land of the ancients, Lemuria.
 * Their search took them far and wide. What they soon found shocked them all...
 * They caught wind of the news that Felix and Sheba were still alive.
 * The scoundrel and his captive had survived the collapse of the Venus Lighthouse.
 * Isaac heard first that Felix's journey had taken him to Izumo.
 * Word was that Felix and his party had defeated the legendary serpent of Izumo...and saved a village.
 * And Felix had also caught up with the notorious pirate known as Briggs...and given him a thrashing.
 * Such heroism...from Felix? Then, word reached them that he had braved the Ankohl ruins to gain its treasures.
 * It was at that point that Isaac set their course for the third lighthouse.
 * They came to the continent of Atteka, the home of the Jupiter Lighthouse.
 * Isaac and the group were eager to catch up with Felix.
 * But Felix's party was well ahead of them. They had already reached the lighthouse.
 * And in their frustration, Isaac and his friends made a foolish error...
 * They walked right into a trap.
 * But not one set by Felix. Two warriors from Prox, a remote tribal village of Fire Adepts, had ensnared them.
 * The warriors from Prox had drawn everyone into their scheme to restart the lighthouses...for their own reasons.
 * The true fiends behind everything believed they could achieve their goals and finish off the heroes in one master stroke.
 * But just as the final blow began to fall, an unexpected hero rose to save the day: the wayward son of Vale, Felix.
 * The Proxians fled the scene. Isaac and his friends were saved.
 * But the third lighthouse had been relit. Isaac and his friends had failed again!
 * It was then that Isaac found out what Kraden had learned about the true secret of the lighthouses and Alchemy.
 * There was an important reason that Felix had embarked on his journey to restart the Elemental Lighthouses.
 * The flat world of Weyard was heading for apocalypse.
 * When the ancients sealed up Alchemy, they had cut off the world's life force. Its edges were crumbling away.
 * Weyard was approaching its final end.
 * Alchemy had been sealed up because people had abused its power. But the consequences were even more severe.
 * The heroes were faced with two choices: they could either let the world continue to crumble away...
 * or they could unleash the unpredictable power of Alchemy, but in doing so, revitalize their dying world.
 * Isaac and his friends understood at last that the cause they had been serving was a disastrous one.
 * They vowed to restart the fourth lighthouse and restore the force of Alchemy to the world.

 * The last of the lighthouses to be relit, the Mars Lighthouse, was located in far-northern Prox.
