Legend Of The Golden Sun

Copied From Page 6 and 7 In The Golden Sun Instruction Booklet.

Nestled away at the foot of Mount Aleph, the most sacred peak on the continent of Angara, rests a quiet village called Vale. For ages, the elders of this remote community have been the caretakers of Sol Sanctum - an ancient temple on the mountain's slope that for eons has guarded the seal on the ancient science of Alchemy.

Now, that seal has been broken. A mysterious figure is attempting to release the powers of Alchemy upon the world, a power so great that one who wields its full force can attain any of his heart's desires - countless riches, endless life, even the power to destroy the world. Once the combined power of the four elements - earth, water, wind, and fire, which together make up all matter - is unleashed, the world will fall to its knees before the one who wields it. If this horrible fate is to be avoided, a brave soul must now arise!

Copied From The Prologue For Golden Sun: The Lost Age (From the back of the map that comes with the game).

Ages ago, or so the stories tell, the power of alchemy ruled over the world of weyard.

alchemy wrought the base elements of humanity into thriving civilizations, like lead into gold.

but in time, man's dreams gave birth to untold strife. dreams of endless riches, of eternal life, of dominion over all that lived...dreams of conquest and war.

These dreams would have torn the world apart if not for a few brave and wise men, who sealed away the power of alchemy deep in Mt. Aleph's sol sanctum.

Prologue from book one

the town of vale guarded the secret for many years, until isaac and jenna, whose parents died in a storm three years ago, disturbed the ancient sanctum.

Saturos and menardi, of the mars clan, followed them into the sanctum. with them traveled jenna's brother felix, whom she thought had also died in the storm.

Saturos and menardi stole the elemental stars, the keys to breaking the seal on the power of alchemy, and kidnapped jenna and the scholar kraden.

If The Four Jewels of Earth, fire, wind, and water were used to fire the elemental lighthouses, the seal of alchemy would be broken.

isaac and garet set outto stop saturos and menardi, rescue their friends, and return the elemental stars to their home in sol sanctum.

they banded together with a young wind adept named ivan and pursued saturos and menardi to imil, a winter-Locked town near mercury lighthouse.

there they met the gaurdian of the lighthouse, a water adept named mia. with her, isaac pursued saturos to the aerie high atop jupiter lighthouse (A mistake on Camelot's part, Should be "Mercury" Lighhouse).

Isaac was too late to stop saturos and menari from lighting the beacon and fleeing. again isaac chased him, crossing angara to the shores of the karagol sea.

Finding Passage on a troubled ship, isaac crossed the karagol to tolbi. he spoke with tolbi's leader, a strange man named babi.

Babi entered isaac into colosso as a test of his powers. isaac's psynergy won colosso and and earned him babi's trust. babi revealed a great secret to isaac...

Thanks to a mystic draught from the lost land of lemuria, babi was 150 years old! he offered to help isaac, who then headed deep into gondowan.

in the town of lalivero, isaac learned that saturos and menardi had kidnapped a young girl named sheba, whom they needed within lighthouse.

isaac fought and deafeted them atop the lighthouse, but he was too late-The beacon had been lit.

A great cataclysm followed. sheba fell into the sea, and felix jumped in to rescue her, but both were lost in the raging waters.

Isaac returned to lalivero, where babi asked him to seek out lemuria and the remaining lighthouses. he gave isaac a lemurian ship to make the journey to find the lost land. (Actually babi wasn't in lalivero but iodem, babi's chief minister, reminded them of their promise to babi.)
