The room in which she landed was dank and illuminated only by the shaft of sunlight created by the hole in the roof of the ancient building. The walls are covered in a thick layer of dust and cobwebs. Despite the the pitch darkness of the rooms and corridors of the building, her eyes quickly adjusted to the poor lighting conditions present within the interior of the ancient, crumbling structure. She is the first creature to set foot in the Obsidian Tower's complex of buildings since it was sealed on Cynder's death, some 800 years prior.

"I am, being of the royal bloodline, destined to join my mother in the Catacombs",

-Cynder to Tera prior to the final battle battle of the Koozer-Ga war, Jan 17, 2836

The war against the Koozer-Ga, a mysterious parasitic alien life-form,left the countries of the alliance in massive devastation. Warfang, capital of the Dragon Confederation, was forced to destroy Yellow District, it's main source of food and supplies, to prevent the enemy from attacking the city directly.  Patala, an ancient city-state who had never experienced the devastation of war, was forced to come to terms with the unrelenting enemy, the same enemy who had destroyed the ancient Precursor Civilization 100,000 years earlier. New Atlantis, the powerful capital of the Atlantean Confederation, which untill then had never feared attack by any enemy, lie in ruins. Neyla, her governor, was forced to rebuild nearly the entire city after it had nearly fell to the enemy. Warclaw, capital city of the proud Cheetah Tribe, now had a new enemy to defend against: the erupting volcano outside her walls, triggered by the crash of a spaceship during the battle to defend the city. Temple Mountain, once the abode of Malefor, slowly calmed down, allowing the floating islands to rejoin the surface. The Dragon Temple was restored to it's former glory, though at that time Cynder's court had more pressing issues-her succession. It, however, was secure by her daughter, the result of her artificial insemination at the hands of the Coalition of Civilized Governments. She began to reverse the devastation of her capital city, though she never lived to see it completed. Her daughter-and her subsequent descendents founded the Cydonian Dynasty, which was to endure for the next 800 years. the Heir to the dynasty was on the verge of being born in the ancient palace, and it was up to her to continue the royal line and ensure the kingdom remained peaceful, as it has been since Cynder's last days.
