Earthbound Ones

The Earthbound Ones are the portion of humanity during Antiquity who, for some reason, are unable to use magic. For this reason, they were cast out of the Kingdom of Zeal by the Enlightened Ones. Earthbound Ones were forced to live on the cloud-enshrouded surface of the planet, which was going through another ice age. In order to survive, most people lived in caves deep underground.

When Queen Zeal became evil, she forced the Earthbound Ones to help build the Ocean Palace .

In Chrono Trigger, before the fall of the Kingdom of Zeal, the cave of Algetty, also known as Terra Cave, is the only Earthbound village that the player is able to visit. After Zeal sinks into the ocean, the Earthbound Ones live alongside the survivors of Zeal in the Last Village.
