10,000 years ago, a materia was created. This materia was made in the darkness of The Forest of the Lost Souls and remained a secret for almost 50 years after it's creation. It was discovered on the day it destroyed the town of "Maldara", a small settlement of Ancients who master the creation of clothing and materials and the raising of chocobos.

Too combat this foreign and newly discovered threat to the planet, the Ancients created a materia they originally named "Nutor Il Midra" or "Bringer of Light". They however crafted into it too much power. No one, human or ancients were able to control it. So they built a shrine for it and began the creation of a second materia.

However, before they were able to finish with creating the new materia, the shrine to the "Nutor Il Midra" was attacked by the "Dutes Sono" or "Tainted Reaper" which was what they called the evil materia.

This is when the "Nutor Il Midra" was lost, and eventually forgotten… The ancients foolishly disregarded it, thinking that whom ever found it would be destroyed by its power.

After the "Conos" or "Holy" materia was completed, they used it to seal the "Dutes Sono's" powers, but not even the "Conos" materia was powerful enough to seal it away forever.

The one who was controlling the "Dutes Sono's" was lost in history, but the ancients built a shrine to the "Dutes Sono" and inside they added walls with enchanted spells to make sure no one would ever be able to navigate through it's walls.

It is said that whom ever controlled the "Dutes Sono" was cursed to suffer, not in hell, but in the pit of the "Nutor Sono" or "Death Bringer" whom most people would come to call "The Grim Reaper". But it is said he somehow escaped back into the world of the living, though it was yet only another rumor that was forgotten in time.

What happened to him, and where are the whereabouts of the "Nutor Il Midra"? This story, is yet to be written…
