When the party first discovers the [[Liamland]] shrine, Ramia is only an egg being guarded by a pair of twin sisters. In order to hatch her egg, the hero and his/her party must gather the [[Six Orbs]] from around the world and place them on pedestals surrounding it.  Once hatched, Ramia serves as the series' first aerial transportation, allowing access to such places as [[Baramos]]' castle and the Dragon Queen's castle in the central continent.  However, Ramia cannot travel to the [[Alefgard|World of Darkness]], nor can she land where the player cannot walk, such as high mountains and bodies of water.

Many years later, Empyrea had laid an egg on her [[Godbird's Eyrie|eyrie]] near [[Empycchu]]. The egg, however, was stolen by [[Gemon]] and taken to the [[Dark World]]. Although Gemon was defeated by the party, he managed to destroy the egg before dying.  The soul of Empyrea's son remained, however, and became the [[Godbird's Soulstone]], which enabled the party to take to the skies.

After Rhapthorne's resurrection, Empyrea sent the party to collect the orbs containing the spirits of the Seven Sages and gave to them the Godbird Sceptre.  She also joined the party for the final battle, allowing them to travel on her wings.
