The wind-like youths were once two people. Nodeus and Keaperra Thurandare, the two kindred spirits with their foreign friend Emporiae, once shared brilliant and gentle years.

For this past matter, not only historians have differing accounts, but also mages who advocate Pure Magic. For those who devoted their entire lives to studying pure magic in the second millennium, the combination of elements and magic is a catastrophic force: even a simple Fireball can easily break through their meticulously constructed Bulwark.

It is said that thanks to Excisura, Emporiae, one of the three, is still alive, though their current whereabouts are unknown. As the most famous young mage of his time, Sorandal's premature death—even posthumously recognized as Vandra—sent shockwaves through the world. Meanwhile, Emporiae's disappearance failed to attract any attention, until Sorandal's body was discovered in a cave somewhere in Hillkind Mountains. His chest had been pierced by some kind of magic, and several tests confirmed it was very likely the effect of //Rockrend. The unsuspecting victim, Hillkind's unique magic, the missing Emporiae—people could easily connect the pieces of what happened.

However, years of searching failed to locate the trail of this outstanding mage, and the cause and effect of this matter became a mystery from then on. The various hypotheses proposed by historical scholars could not for the most part justify themselves. A millennium has passed, and perhaps the truth was buried together with that day's 索兰达尔, buried beneath the deep rocks.

如风的少年曾是两人。诺达厄斯 与加贝拉•索兰达尔 ，意气相投的两人与异国之友恩波利亚 ，曾有过灿烂温柔的岁月。

对于这段往事，众说纷纭的不止有历史学家，还有崇尚纯粹魔法 的魔法师们。对于在第二个千年中倾一生之力研习纯粹魔法的他们来说，元素与魔法的结合是一种灾难性的力量：即使是简单的火球术 ，也可以轻松突破他们精心构建的障壁魔法 。

据说，得益于形化术 ，三人中的恩波利亚仍然在世，不过如今不知所踪。作为彼时最著名的新一代魔法师，甚至死后被追认为范德拉的索兰达尔，他的英年早逝是一件爆炸性新闻。与此同时，恩波利亚的失踪并没能引起人们的注意，直到索兰达尔的尸身在山臣群山 的某个洞窟被找到。其胸部被某种魔法贯穿，数种试验表明那很可能是岩破术 的效力。毫无防备的受害人，山臣独有的魔法，失踪的恩波利亚，人们很容易便联想到了事件的经过。

然而，数年的搜捕也没能寻得这位杰出的魔法师的踪迹，此事的因果从此成谜。历史学者们所提出的数种假说，大多都不能自圆其说。千年已易，也许真相会同那天的索兰达尔一并埋葬，葬于深岩之下。
