Talk:Zande

Moved from the main page: Cloud of Darkness bio
Xande's biography got completely off-topic on the main page, so I'm moving Cloud of Darkness's bio from FFIII to the talk page in case anyone is interested in reading it.

A Cloud of Darkness is created whenever the power of Dark or Light gets out of balance with the instinct of pushing the imbalance to the furthest limit, annihilating both worlds. The Cloud of Darkness wanted to return the Light World and Dark World back to the Void (the nothingness which existed before creation) by destroying them with a flood of Darkness. She was invincible, having absorbed the power of the Dark Crystals and the Light Crystals, but with the sacrifice of the Dark Warriors (the heroes of the Dark World), she lost the Dark power and became vulnerable, though still wielded the power of Light (the devastating Flare Wave). A previous Cloud of Darkness emerged when the Ancients abused the power of Light, causing a flood of Light, destroying their civilization. 4 Dark Warriors had to come from the Dark World to stop that Cloud of Darkness in the Light World.

The current Cloud of Darkness apparently hedged her bets by enthralling others, such as Hein & Djinn, to accomplish its objectives. Anyone controlled by her receives the powers of Darkness and strong desires (such as conquest, destruction).

(*It should be noted that there were several floods and they should not be thought of as a singular event. There was the flood of Light in the distant past which destroyed the civilization of the Ancients and all its machinery (except for the Floating Continent and the Statues of the Quest). More recently, the Earth Crystal submerged the mainland of the planet surface and the civilization which had developed since the fall of the Ancients. This was a flood of regular water, not Light or Dark. Xande & the Cloud of Darkness were threatening a flood of Darkness to inundate the Light World, eventually causing both worlds to be destroyed and replaced with Void).
