Last night, a robed creature appeared in Fortuna in Faeheim, wishing to talk to Queen Pixie. It was revealed to be The Unknown, or rather, one of many Unknowns, as everyone learned later on. The being, named Altjyhra (Alt-JHEE-Ra), shed light on its origins to Pixie, Lucretia, and everyone else who happened to be in Fortuna Town Square at the time.
The Unknown came from the Demon Realm, the same realm where Dark Lord comes from. A once thriving land, "conflicts between nations" and "blind overuse of magic and technology" left it "weak". Unable to survive there, the group of demons escaped to Midgard via the fiend mirror back when Dark Lord entered our world.
They hid and waited out the war against Dark Lord, hoping to live in peace in our world, but their only hope of surviving lay hidden away in the old Faeheim Archipelago. The Unknown, via their previous leader, joined the war between the humans and the fae, which ultimately ended in massive casualties on all sides.
And now, in Fortuna, they asked for the Fae's treasure, some kind of "core", in order to live on. But Pixie did not trust The Unknown, going against her sister Lucretia's wishes to at least consider it. As the queen and Amaria threatened to attack if they didn't leave, Altjyhra and another Unknown struck back, threatening to devastate Faeheim's Security Systems by targeting Amaria.
With a field of magic energy preventing Amaria from teleporting away, she and a group of heroes fought The Unknown, but in the end were no match. Amaria was defeated, and destroyed, leaving Faeheim's defenses crippled. The Unknown disappeared, not before asking Pixie to reconsider handing over the "core".
After an argument between Pixie, Lucretia, and other heroes, the queen came clean about their treasure, informing it is actually a massive dreamstone crystal that helps power all of Faeheim. After much persistence, Pixie agreed to hold public hearings regarding and put to a vote whether or not they should help The Unknown survive by handing over the dreamstone core.
Although there is allegedly a backup of Amaria somewhere, it doesn't seem as if it's readily available, meaning Faeheim's golem defenses are only partially as efficient as before for the forseeable future.
