The four people on the right are in such a state because they were the original rulers of this island.
Meanwhile, the four people on the left and the woman at the head come from Wind Chime Island, one of the Inner Circle Major Forces.
Originally, this island had six rulers, all of whom were Epic Tier beings.
However, Wind Chime Island sought to control them, leading to their dissatisfaction and subsequent resistance.
In the end, two people died, and four were injured; they were fed Alchemy Poison to conclude the rebellion.
The four took a long time to recover and thereafter obeyed Wind Chime Island's every command.
Wind Chime Island has a Legendary Tier being, a goblin, whose expertise in the Potion Branch of the Alchemy Domain is terrifying, and the Alchemy Poison he concocts is incredibly potent.
Crafting an antidote is exceedingly difficult unless one's expertise in the Alchemy Potion Domain surpasses his.
