Long ago, four tyrants conquered Genrovis with their starmetal mechs, until the adamantine dragon Ayleth freed the world. But she wasn’t the savior the planet needed. Centuries later, her rule is rife with corruption and cruelty.

Legend of the Four Steel Tyrants
Friends and fellows, gather forth,
I tell of tyrants, sat on thrones of old.
Peace there was upon our world,
Blessed by wealth and wellspring.
Lit by beacons and crowned by city spires.
In generations long passed, the wellspring children of Genrovis prospered,
Bright futures borne by silicon and silver,
Weaving our new world with thought‐machines.Then, four tyrants swept from the sky,
Jealous eyes fixed on jeweled Genrovis.
They tormented peaceful cities, toppled spires,
Brought annhilation through fierce
and fanged beasts.
The first Tyrant cracked a whip of wild fire,
Setting hallowed halls ablaze.
The second smothered wellspring songs,
Reigned silence, sealed the springs in soil.
The third Tyrant charmed the clock,
To pry the precious seconds from their rightful rounds.
And the fourth Tyrant, shadowshrouded,
Commanded creatures, crazed, to slaughter.
Four foul tyrants gulped greedily at wellsprings,
Razed and ruled o’er all our lands.
Wounded and woeful, the wellspring children wept.
Ayleth heard the wellspring children’s weeping.
Swiftly she of adamantine soared,
Starwinged, she surveyed sights below,
Saw claws and fangs swarm cities,
Saw spires shatter and wellsprings wither.
The people pleaded for compassion,
Asked Ayleth for her aid.
Ayleth vowed vengeance, vast
Armies fell before her might,
With wellspring children shielded by adamantine wings.
The starwinged one battled bravely,
Bore down on gearspun frames, Unleashed fury for our forlorn people.
Four tyrants fell. Favored Ayleth triumphed,
Freed wellspring children, rebuilt wonders,
Protected peace, woke wellsprings,
Then sealed four tyrant‐shells in soil and steel,
Never to unearth again.Praise Ayleth, proud protector!
Keeper of the wellsprings,
Queen of Clouds,
Lady of the Adamantine Heart.
Her eternal eyes see all,
Her wings embrace us warmly,
Genrovis clasped in careful claws.Is it true? Well, history is written by victors!
