Before the war, Raduga communicated with individuals of unknown origin, and they shared stories regarding an ancient capital of a glorious empire. Doubt and suspicion remained in the hearts of the Radugans; however, their visitors ardently believed in their stories, which had been orally passed through the generations. They claimed that the ancient empire reigned over a vast portion of the world, including places that the Radugan people could never dream of. The ruins of the ancient kingdom had been lost though explorers have stumbled upon ruins of unparalleled magnificence, which they believe are the remnants of a forgotten empire.
