Summary
After the surface was resettled following the Sky Era, a rivalry simmered between different groups on the Surface. The war was sparked by a faction of powerful magic-wielders—later referred to as the Interlopers—who sought to dominate the Sacred Realm and seize the Triforce, the divine relic left behind by the goddesses. Their greed for ultimate power led to chaos, as their dark sorcery threatened the natural order of the world.
The Interlopers created forbidden magic, which included artifacts such as the Fused Shadow, to overwhelm their enemies and assert control. However, their ambition was thwarted by the intervention of the Light Spirits, divine beings charged with protecting Hyrule. The Light Spirits sealed the Interlopers’ magic and banished them to the Twilight Realm, a shadowy prison created by the goddesses. Stripped of their power, the Interlopers and their descendants became the Twili, adapting to their exile in the new dimension[1].
