Eclipse Isles had formed during the strategic bombardment, which caused mountainous areas to form. The 8 Islands, though, were once mountains that broke apart and sunk partially in the heat. Before everything was suddenly cooled and water flowed. Once the [[technomagic:life seed]] erupted on the planet, it gave Eclipse Isles a tropical environment of sandy beaches, jungles. It was a true paradise-like every other island and the continent.

Settlers soon came, and with no desire to destroy the land to build, they chose to painstakingly build into the jungle a city that would combine the beauty with the home. They named the isles,  Eclipse Isles, and created a theme in homage to it.
