This wizard managed to steal the Gem, killing both the monsters and the Arcane Guardians that stood in their way. However, a few decades later, after people had forgotten about The Forgotten, a curious and greedy wizard sought out the Gem of Eternity for selfish purposes. They also summoned five Arcane Guardians and placed them and numerous monsters around the Tomb of The Forgotten, to act as guardians for the Gem. To prevent anyone from locating and stealing the Gem of Eternity (which would unleash the Forgotten), the wizards of the Spiritforge removed all knowledge of the Gem of Eternity, and killed anyone who attempted to find out about the Gem. Since most wizards were not powerful enough to kill Shadows, most of the Shadows were imprisoned in various tombs across the Wilderness, especially the more powerful Shadows. The wizards then either killed or imprisoned the remaining Shadows within tombs. The Forgotten was unable to break out of the tomb as long as the Gem of Eternity was sealed to the roof of the tomb, and this place soon became known as The Tomb of The Forgotten. Both the Gem and the Forgotten were then magically transported to a specially-prepared tomb in the mountains near the western coast of the continent, far away from the Spiritforge, which was located near the eastern coast. Then, the wizards activated the trap, and the Gem of Eternity ensnared the Forgotten and imprisoned her within their trap. Around the same time, some of the wizards slew as many Shadows as possible, in order to weaken the Forgotten, and also to slow her down. The wizards set up a trap near the Spiritforge and socketed the Gem of Eternity within it, and they also managed to lure the Forgotten within range of the trap. Eventually, the wizards crafted the original Gem of Eternity within the Labyrinth, a powerful relic of magic far stronger than anything they had previously created. However, no matter what the wizards tried, they were unable to find a way to defeat her, and they were also unable to banish her back to the Demon Realm. By then, the wizards of the Spiritforge realized that the Forgotten had to be stopped, or else she would take over the entire world. The Forgotten soon launched an assault on the Spiritforge itself, though she was unable to break through its powerful shield. However, some of the corrupted wizards saw the Forgotten as the key to becoming even more powerful, and they began to serve her willingly, forming a cult of followers, which lasted throughout the war with the Forgotten. Unable to contain the demonic outbreak, the vast majority of surviving wizards fled into the Spiritforge, their original and last remaining stronghold. In the ensuing chaos, the Forgotten unleashed an onslaught of demons and monsters, and the wizards also lost control of their own monsters, which were their original creations. The corrupted wizards attempted to enslave her, but the Forgotten proved much too powerful for any of the wizards to handle, and she quickly wreaked havoc upon them. This resulted in the Forgotten being summoned from the Demon Realm. The corrupt wizards soon began summoning more and more powerful demons as they grew increasingly arrogant, before attempting to summon a demon beyond anything that had ever been summoned before during one ritual. The corrupted wizards regularly summoned demons from the Demon Realm to enslave them, in order to increase their own magic, at a location outside of the Spiritforge, to the west of the mountain. Centuries before the events of GemCraft Chapter 1: The Forgotten, the wizards of the Spiritforge had grown greedy and corrupted, with even their leadership, the Wizard Council, becoming corrupted. Her real name was forgotten long ago, and she eventually came to be known as "The Forgotten." It is hinted that The Forgotten's origins may be connected to the Spiritforge. Her actual origins are unknown, but she was active in the Demon World many centuries before the events of the GemCraft series. The Forgotten is an ancient, evil entity from the Demon Realm, and the ruler of that world. The Forgotten is also capable of taking on other forms, including that of a dark cloud with tendrils, an appearance that her Shadows often take. All of her body seems to be made of a large amount of dark tendrils. The Forgotten has a black female torso with disfigured arms, a head, long hair, and no face, which is her default appearance. The Forgotten at the end of Gemcraft Chapter 0.
