"Garland?" Steiner frowned. "The man is dead, and I'm not sorry for it! But if you wish to know... Garland was ultimately responsible for much of Gaia's history. The Mist, the Iifa Tree, the destruction of Madain Sari, the existence of the Genomes... They were all his doing."
He sighed, sitting back as he tried to remember the details. "Garland was created to ensure the survival of a world called Terra. Terra was dying and it needed to... assimilate another world to survive. Five thousand years ago, Garland attempted to assimilate Gaia into Terra. We should all be thankful that he failed! Gaia was young and alive, and Terra was old and dying. Of course, Garland could not simply give up. He created the Iifa Tree to filter souls, preventing the souls of Gaia from flowing whilst allowing those of Terra to move freely... A long siege, a battle for the souls of the planet which most of us were never aware of. I am proud to have fought for the sake of Gaia."
Steiner shook his head as he reflected on their current situation. "I fear the battle is not over. Mist has covered this world again, and Gaia has become home to more foreign worlds than anyone could ever have suspected..."
