Eons ago, Titan lovers Arun and Shara fled their war-torn realm and fell asleep, dreaming two worlds into existence. Exotreia, the Titans' First, and Terra, the Titans' Second. It is hard to tell which the Titans love more; for Exotreians are birthed strong and powerful into a realm of danger, and Terrans are without powers, yet blissed with ignorance of the chaos outside their peaceful little world. But it is safe to say that the Titans loved Tierra Gloriosa enough to leave it in the care of the Empyreans, a sorceress - the Queen - and her twelve guardians. For centuries, the realm flourished.
But then the Great Cataclysm happened. Sorceress Athena ran away and left the world to die in chaos and darkness. Her twelve guardians fought a losing battle and later fell into crystal sleep, patiently awaiting for the return of their Queen. Without the Empyreans, Exotreia was lost to the Shadows, and Terra was ripped apart by hatred and distrust.
For 200 years the guardians waited, until the day the hope flower blooms again.

There is a saying that goes among Exotreians when describing their Queens.
❝Some are born great. Some achieve greatness. And some have greatness thrust upon them. ❞
Atelier has no idea just how important her role is in reclaiming peace across the realm, but she will learn. The new Queen shall rise from a glimpse of light amidst the darkness.
And the Heavens shall tremble.
