Envious of Lyraea’s power, a dragon by the name of Neiran cursed the royal heirs, Althea and Kyria Elysien, and forced upon them the Brand of Neiran – a Brand that would transfer the consciousness of the dragon to the wielder, and as such take over its body. He believed that if he could merge his power with the Elysien royal bloodline, which descended from the Orithiya bloodline – he could use the Brand of Luxana to become more powerful. Suffering from the risk of being taken over, Althea and Kyria were afraid of the Brand of Neiran they wielded. Wanting to put and end to this suffering, they embarked on a quest to slay the dragon Neiran. Using their power as those branded by Luxana, they were able to defeat the dragon. They became heroes and were commended for their bravery. In legend, they were considered to be reincarnations of the original founders of Lyraea – Adonis and Cerio Orithiya.
Despite this, the damage had been done, and a weaker version of the Brand of Neiran continued to pass down through the family, granting the user enhanced physical strength. It was to be believed by the general public that Neiran was fully dead, so generations and generations of royalty would come to pass, bearing the burden and secret of this wretched curse in their bloodline.
