Zeal
The Kingdom of Zeal was a nation in the Antiquity. It was home to the Enlightened Ones, and was the center of art, culture, technology, and most of all, magic.
History
Creation
The Kingdom of Zeal was created when mankind discovered magic. What was soon discovered is that some people, no matter what happened or how they tried, were completely unable to use magic. The ruler of Zeal was given the name Zeal.
Rising
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
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).
