In the distant past, Empyrea assisted the [[Seven Sages]] in creating the [[Godbird Sceptre]] and sealing away the demon Rhapthorne within it during their battle in the [[World of Darkness]]. While the sages returned to the World of Light with the sceptre, Empyrea was exhausted from the battle and rested in what would later be known as the dark world's Empycchu. She would remain there after recovering, watching over the islanders with whom she shared her new roost. Her shadow would be cast on the ground in the World of Light whenever she flew. | In the distant past, Empyrea assisted the [[Seven Sages]] in creating the [[Godbird Sceptre]] and sealing away the demon Rhapthorne within it during their battle in the [[World of Darkness]].

Many years later, Empyrea had laid an egg on her [[Godbird's Eyrie|eyrie]] near dark Empycchu. The egg, however, was held hostage by Rhapthorne's agent [[Gemon]]. With her unborn child held ransom, she was forced to assault dark Empycchu at Gemon's command, terrorizing the villagers and damaging several buildings. Even under these dire circumstances, Empyrea was careful to not harm any of the villagers directly and avoided children entirely during her raids, only lightly ripping their communal hut. The village chief and the blacksmith observed that Empyrea looked hesitant and remorseful during the assault, leading them to question what was actually happening while the other adults were left fearful. | Many years later, Empyrea had laid an egg on her [[Godbird's Eyrie|eyrie]] near dark Empycchu.

Beseeching the {{Party 8}} for aid against Gemon for the sake of her child and the village, she carries the group to the base of the eyrie to avoid Gemon's notice once they agree to help. | ||

The soul of Empyrea's son endures, however, and became the [[Godbird's soulstone]], which enabled the {{Party 8}} to take to the skies. After Rhapthorne's resurrection and weakening of the boundary between worlds, Empyrea saves the {{Party 8}} from falling thousands of feet to the ground as the [[Black Citadel]] collapses. She arrives in light Empycchu and sends the party to collect the [[orb]]s containing the spirits of the [[Seven Sages]] and gave to them the Godbird Sceptre. She also joined the {{Party 8}} for the final battle, allowing them to travel on her wings. | ||

She demonstrates her power to travel to other worlds, fading into the distance along with her son as she regales that she kept the name the six sages bestowed upon her out of her respect for them. | ||
