Around the time of the last Ice Age, the people of Zeal - using their advanced technology and magic - lifted the whole kingdom off of the earth. The islands of Zeal floated above the dense cloud cover that kept the planet shrouded in eternal blizzard. The non-magic-using people were left behind, being dubbed the [[Earthbound Ones]].

===Destruction===
===Destruction and Legacy===
It was first mentioned by Spekkio that humans once possessed magic, but lost it because of abusing it.  It is later discovered that the enlightened ones (the humans who could use magic) tried controlling Lavos, but it was beyond their control, and it destroyed the Kingdom of Zeal, and the enlightened ones.  However, some did survive, but they lost their power, and had to live with the earthbound ones (the humans who could not use magic).


===Legacy===
[[Queen Zeal]] and her three gurus, [[Belthasar]], [[Melchior]] and [[Gaspar]], attempted to summon [[Lavos]] to obtain greater power from it.  However, they were unable to control Lavos.  The three gurus, as well as the [[Magus|prince]] and [[Schala|princess]] of Zeal, were absorbed into time portals created by Lavos and send to various eras.  The Kingdom of Zeal was destroyed by the unrestrained power of Lavos and sank to the bottom of the sea.  Queen Zeal herself survived, somehow gaining tremendous power from Lavos despite the disaster, and her warship the [[Black Omen]] was isolated outside of the flow of time and hung in the air above the earth for eons.  She was eventually defeated by [[Crono]].

Humans after the fall of Zeal were unable to tap into the power of Lavos and so became unable to wield magic.  However, gifted individuals such as [[Spekkio]] are able to release their latent power and allow them to access magic once again.
Humans after the fall of Zeal were unable to tap into the power of Lavos and so became unable to wield magic.  Those who survived the fall of Zeal came to live on the frozen ground alongside the Earthbound Ones and the distinction between the two was lost.  However, gifted individuals such as [[Spekkio]] are able to release humans' latent power and allow them to access magic once again.
