People used to roam the world freely. They believed in the King of Colors, sitting on a throne in the mountains and making the colorful world around them, such as rainbows and sunsets. Then came a man, most greedy and arrogant amongst humans, who wanted more. So he invented a new color. The King of Color felt betrayed and sent a plague of lizards upon mankind to eradicate them. For generations, man was prey and ran from the lizards. The lizards were attracted to colors, so mankind learned to live in black and white and made their stronghold, the Pale City.

The Pale City was destroyed by Kroma and her giant lizards.
