Overview
Season 1 is a crucial series of events that resulted in the founding of the player nation, Astorea. It is the first time where the roleplayers' actions completely steered the direction of Terrasphere's main story and influenced the current landscape of the world.
The result of these events tie directly into Season 2, which is essentially a continuation of this storyline.

The Gust
After the events of Season 1, King Theodore sent a message to many players. His youngest daughter had gone missing during an expedition past the unexplored mountains to the east. Seeing this as a way to begin mending the relations between Falderen and Astorea, many adventurers accepted, including King Astor Balthas. The plan was for many small groups of players to go through the mountain range and then group up with the Falderen forces on the other side to mount a rescue mission. Strangely, the mountain was also being guarded by the normally sea-dwelling Aesir raiders, adding another layer of difficulty to the rescue mission.
Unfortunately, soon after the players left Astorea, Princess D'vangelline de Falder, King Theodore's eldest daughter, personally rode to the new kingdom. She intended to warn the players that the plea for help was all a ruse, and King Theodore intended to betray and capture the players. It was also the prelude to a planned invasion, King Theodore intending on taking back the territory that had once been Adecus Forest.
Back at the mountain range, the players were caught in a trap jointly sprung by the Falderen forces and the Aesir raiders. Stunned from the ambush and exhausted from the climb, they could not fight back as they were captured. The Falderen soldiers all behaved oddly during this attack, their eyes glowing with an eerie light, their movements ruthlessly disciplined. They were not above causing pain to players who tried to struggle, but made sure to keep them alive to deny them the ability to respawn. Hands bound behind their backs to prevent them from accessing their game menus or using abilities, the players were taken captive.

Important Characters
Jack Anders
Jack is one of the three co-leaders of one of the top leading guilds, Yulan Dragons [YULAN]. As a calculated pragmatist who is dedicated to his guild and those whom he considers his friends. Despite being a practitioner of White Magic, Jack's intention is never pure.
It was thanks to his smart planning that contributed toward the founding of a player nation.
Aaron Steele
Aaron is well-known for his grand ambition and obsession in becoming a hero that the world of Terrasphere would remember. Thanks to his huge fortune, he single-handedly established the Heroes of Falderen [VALOR], one of the three top guilds in Terrasphere.
Despite his righteous moral compass, he went along with Jack and Merkaba's plan, though not without a massive backlash from fellow guild members who thought that he had lost his mind.
Merkaba
Merkaba is a cold and quiet woman who was mad with delusion of Terrasphere being the 13th dimension. Thanks to her tenacity and obsessive grinding, she had enough wealth to single-handedly create the guild called the Cult of the Black Star [COVEN].
Aside from the occult and the prospect of being able to research demons in the north, Merkaba was indifferent to the war between Yladia and Falderen. It was ultimately her devious plan that lead to the result of the season 1 finale.
