After the Margrave vanished with the Sun Runner around 4000 BBY, it was long rumored that the gems were still with him. In fact, he had left them with his wife, Nallastia, who built the Skull Queen's fortress and arranged the megalithic Trinity Stones, using the gems only for good. After a gang of pirates tried to steal the power gems, however, Nallastia hid all three in the Cavern of Screaming Skulls within Mount Octan.
