| - Long before the game's main events, there existed a now lost civilization. Following a great cataclysm, they sought a method to purge the toxic miasma from the world, and from this goal the Yggdrasil Project was born. The plan was to bioengineer a tree of massive power, capable of purifying the land, and it appeared to be progressing smoothly. Unfortunately, the miasma had made living nearly impossible for humans, and food that was safe to eat was rapidly running low. Thus, the civilizations elders decided the project be put in motion before it was fully ready. Knowing that doing so may lead to Yggdrasil going out of control, they began to develop a failsafe against it. The project would create a "Savior" that would be able to destroy Yggdrasil should it go berserk, and thus the Insatiable Pupa was born. The Pupa feeds on Yggdrasil's power constantly, and was ultimately corrupted by it. Due to this corruption, the leader of the project decided to seal the Pupa away. In the process, through repeated containment failures, most of the humans, including the researcher, died, but the insect was finally sealed away, until the party discovers the Hall of Darkness.
