From the introduction: Greetings, young Portal Master! I have been waiting for you. I am Eon, your guide in this world. But where are you, you may ask? This is Skylands: an ancient world of wonder and mystery. For generations, the Portal Masters and the Skylanders kept peace and balance in this world, so that all creatures could thrive. Magic flows through everything here. Every rock, every tree, and every beast. But now our world is in grave danger: The Darkness is spreading. Skylands needs your help! A great adventure awaits you, young Portal Master. I have sent my assistant, Hugo, to seek you out. We will speak again… soon. - Master Eon’s introduction to the young Portal Master
