Discovered many years ago by a pair of brothers, the Kalydian forest was once a beautiful and wild forest, overfilled with life in its most pristine form. Deciding to settle down there, the brothers studied the forest for many years in a blissful solitude, enjoying the enhanced state of the untouched land, until they were stumbled on by a man named Filwort.
Beginning innocently enough, Filwort helped the brothers in their studies before he began to conduct studies of his own, corrupting the animal and plant life of the area whenever he could find a moment to disappear into the wilds. Before long, Filwort himself vanished, and shortly thereafter the lake became poisoned and wretched, affecting the animals of the wilds.
Working tirelessly, the brothers search for a way to repair the damage wrought on the area, while others work to curb it before it spreads into the nearby Northern Ithmia.
