Istaroth Story and Lore

A Higher Power than the Archons

During Act 2 of Raiden Shogun's Story Quest, Ei and Yae Miko discuss how it was possible that the seed of the Sacred Sakura was planted in the present but bloomed in the Inazuma of the past.

They believe that even with Makoto's understanding of eternity, she wouldn't have been able to do it on her own. Ei believes her sister asked the help of a higher power, Istaroth, to do so, hinting that they have the power to manipulate time.
