Prologue
The war for mana between Tethe'alla and Sylvarant is over and Cruxis has been defeated. 4000 years ago, the Ancient War was fought for mana between the humans, dwarves, the elves, and the cross breed between humans and elves, such known as Half-elves. This war sacrificed a hero, Mithos, to save the giant mana tree which ended the war. This caused the goddess Martel sadness so she dissapeared unto the heavens and left the angels with this edict: "Wake me, for if I should sleep the world shall be destroyed."
Mithos, being reborn as an angel, split the world in two, so that the worlds were constatnly vying for each others mana. He did this because the reason the Ancient War started was the magitechnology and since migtechnology uses alot of mana, he split the worlds so that none were able to have wars over magitechnology. But then Mithos had this ideal to stop discrimination between the races, particularly between the Half-elves and everyone else, and to revive his sister, who coincidentally was Martel, who was actually a spirit.
So thus the legend of the Chosen was born. Both worlds, Tethe'alla and Sylvarant contained this legend. It stated that in each generation was born a Chosen of mana of the mana lineage. The Chosen's purpose was to go on a journey to release the seals that guarded the Tower of Salvation to regenerate the world's power, which was really taking away mana from the other world.
But not everyone believed in Mithos's ideals. So they, Lloyd and hsi gang, struck up against Mithos, which in the end killed him, and with the Eternal Sword of Origin, one of the 10 Summon Spirits who guarded the seals of the Tower of Salvation, germinated the seedling of the great mana tree and reunited the worlds.
This story takes place a half a year later.
