"The Fabled Rose Mountain stands near the village of the Shaman and Garth, one of the Insect people in Eternia. According to the Legend, as described by Man-At-Arms, the Rose Mountain was once a barren Rock where the legendary flower called 'The Bitter Rose' was formed from the tears of the Rose Goddess' own loving Sorrow when she climbed on the mountain peak looking for her husband and waiting for him to return from the war, but he never returned. Her bitter sadness caused her refusal to grow anything on the mountain and all it stands was a single solitary Rose."
"As time passed, Dree-Elle was fawning over the beautiful story, Orko wanted to give her something very special, but Cringer unmistakenably gave him a mention of the Bitter Rose. But he didn't realize that the Rose was the heart of Rose Mountain. When he plucked it the mountain created a huge avalanche and caused it to crumble."
