There is a giant tree in the Sapphire Basin which has been
there since time immemorial. This tree gained its
mystical power throughout the ages and came to be known
as the Sagewood. However, the tree was negatively
influenced by Tectite when the Giant Fissure appeared
at the Fishbelly Pub.

The Tectite caused the tree's appearance to deform
and twist into the shape of a horrifying sword smothered
in its own sap, no longer resembling
the Sagewood that heeded the citizens' wishes.

The ancient people created the Protectors as a means
to test adventurers' strength at the Awakened Corridor.

However, when the energy of the Corridor weakened
due to the cataclysm between the Advocates
and the Sura, so did the power that controlled
the Protectors. The control device of the Protectors
eventually failed, turning the Protectors into irrational,
enraged machines out for blood.

In the days when martial techniques did not
exist yet, there were once two strange men
who came to understand the energy flow of
nature and learned how to build it up within them.
One was linked with wind energy, while the other was
linked with lightning energy. To test the skills
they had devised, they built a massive labyrinth.

Sometimes, the unmanaged energy affected the outside
of the labyrinth, making people fear that the god of
storms Fujin and the god of lightning Raijin resided within.

A long time ago, a Naryu automaton scholar crafted
automatons to honor these legendary features.
However, the automatons were unable to revive their real power.

This timeless being leads a relaxed life. He enjoys
bathing in the hot springs in the Taero Forest.

He is overly confident and boastful
of his spear skills, believing no one exists with
skills superior to his own. Given this, he is
eager to battle with anyone regardless of their ability.

Explorers were killed by this mysterious winged
creature in the northern area of Caelite Land.
The rest of the explorers passed the news
to Taero Forest and many people came to try
and eliminate the beast.

After countless attempts,
many ended up gravely wounded.
Some never even made it back.
This beast is not to be fought alone.

Riorino, who worships great power, left his tribe
as soon as he realized there was no one
who could compete with him.
During his journey around the word,
he only became more frustrated as he did not
encounter anyone who could meet his match.
When he reached the Tectite Valley, he felt
an unknown energy pulling him in, so he decided to stay.

Through his sheer strength, Riorino avoided becoming
mutated by the energy of the Tectite, but it affected
his mental state. Until this very day, Riorino is still
waiting for someone to challenge him.
