Valley Calendar 710, the Year of the Crumbled Throne.
A portal leading to the Bottomless Abyss opened above the palace in West Gate City, ushering in an invasion by numerous Tiflin warriors who soon occupied the city. Their leader, Bane's son-Iyachihto-Hivim, seized the throne of West Gate City, heralding a rule lasting hundreds of years.
For a very long time, Iyachihto-Hivim was merely a tool of Bane, the god of tyranny, until the eruption of the Saint's Calamity, whereupon Bane fell, granting Iyachihto independence.
The current whereabouts of Iyachihto-Hivim are unknown, yet in West Gate City, many Tiflin still remain loyal to him.
Since the eruption of the Saint's Calamity, West Gate City has fallen considerably.
However, being one of the key coastal cities of the Starfall Sea, it still retained substantial resources.
