The colonists traded with the Argillians, the first alien life discovered, and began to settle the fertile plains of what would be Minstos. However, in 2080, WWIII occurred causing civilization on Earth to collapse and for the Galileo colonists to lose contact. The colonies survived for only another 40 or so years before they began to fall apart without the bulk supplies from Earth, only able to scrap together resources from Raythe. The final blow was when the fertile plain that was settle began to sink into the ocean after a major earthquake. The Argillians did not intervene, and left humanity to die. Only about 1000 people survived, many of them young. Over several generations, the technology and information of Earth was lost and reduced to myth. | The colonists traded with the Argillians, the first alien life discovered, and began to settle the fertile plains of what would be Minstos.

The religion of the people of Raythe was worshiping the moons of Ro and Deaum. Ro was believed to be a heaven where the gods (including the gods of Usa, Ussr, and Uk) lived, while Deaum was an underworld where the daemons resided. The people of Raythe could see the lights of the cities on Ro and knew it to be a heavenly place. Every New Years, the Argillians would light fireworks and celebrate, causing the people of Ro to celebrate and use this as their New Years as well. | |||
