History:
(Ultraforce I#4 (fb) - BTS) <Untold millennia ago> - A group of men and women were brought to the Godwheel with magic weapons. The men took those weapons and freed the women, but then used their newfound power to push their women into subserviance. 

    Finally, a woman known only as the "deliverer" stole a magic sword and led the rebellion that built Gwendor, the city of the women's foremothers. The men considered attacking then and there to drag their women back, but they couldn't bring themselves to hurt the women. While the men waited for their wives to give up and come home, the women consolidated their power and ran raids on the men's city, Neros, to steal more weapons. By the time the men finally saw that they had to strike or lose their women forever, the women were as ready as the men. Thus, they reached a stalemate, and the men cursed their hesitation for millennia.

(Ultraforce I#3 (fb) - BTS) - Every 2 years, all matters of secular life are briefly forgotten in both Neros and Gwendor. All women of Gwendor from 16 to 32 years old were brought to fertility through herbs and rituals, and then descended into the sacred gorge to face a like number of men from Neros for what was known as "the Great Madness." The drums pound, the incense burns, and the elixirs flow hot and strong, and the men and women descended into a passion they apparently do not remember. All infants produced as a result were nurtured in Gwendor for a year, after which all male children were sent to Neros to be raised into warriors who will oppose their mothers as surely as the women of Gwendor raised their sisters to oppose their fathers. Women who fell in love or attempted to maintain contact with men were driven into the wilderness.

(Giant-Size Mantra#1 (fb) - BTS) - Boneyard contacted Jontor, who sought to usurp the power of Overlord Etan, warning him of Mantra's arrival and instructing him to kill her.

(Giant-Size Mantra#1 (fb)) - Attacked by the men of Neros, Mantra fought back, but after she claimed one of their energy weapons and found it wouldn't fire (as they only worked for men), the distraction caused her to be struck by multiple blasts. Jontor and his warriors were stopped from attacking the fallen Mantra by Etan, who used translators to ascertain her purpose -- which was accidental arrival and seeking Boneyard, who was unknown to Etan -- and then escort her to a room where she could search their chronicles.

(Giant-Size Mantra#1 (fb)) - Jontor contacted Boneyard, informing him that Mantra had arrived, as he had predicted, but that she was resilent and his men had been unable to slay her before she came under Etan's protection. Boneyard advised him that if he slew Mantra, he would be under Boneyard's protection and then his rank would soon be Overlord. Jontor confirmed to "Lord Boneyard" that that would indeed be pleasing to him.

(Giant-Size Mantra#1 (fb) - BTS) - Meanwhile, Etan contacted the Topaz Queen of Gwendor, aka Topaz, who assured him that the visitor was not from Gwendor and asked for her to be transferred to their custody, as she had something from their city (the Sword of Fangs had originated in Gwendor, where it was known as Gwendor's Claw).

(Giant-Size Mantra#1 (fb) - BTS) - After Mantra learned of the segrated natures of Neros and Gwendor from the chronicles, Etan's men told her that she would be turned over to the women of Gwendor after a routine interrogation to determine her innocence. While Mantra did not approve of that, the guards were then assaulted by masked men serving Jontor who sought to kill her, but only after they had enjoyed her pleasures. Mantra summoned the Sword of Fangs and slew one of the would-be killers before blasting the other. She then flew out of Neros, hoping to locate Boneyard, but was shot out of the air and then captured and imrpsioned by the women of Gwendor, who reclaimed Gwendor's Claw.

(Giant-Size Mantra#1/2 - BTS) - Mantra battled Topaz fiercely for the right to possess Gwendor's Claw.

(Giant-Size Mantra#1/2) - Meanwhile Jontor prepared his troops fire the Incendor missile into the arena, intending to slay Gwendor's three queens and most of their warriors. They would enslave the survivors, whose fates would be limited only by their imaginations. One of his men excitedly announced that they would have the Great Madness evey night, and that Jonto would be made overlord for this. After another warrior noted that this violated their long-held peace and asked what would history say, Jontor told him that as the new overlord, he would dictate history, and he ordered the catapult to be prepared.

    After the Incendor struck the arena, Jontor led his warriors in a pincer movement to attack the women of Gwendor. Jontor ordered that Mantra be spared as he wanted her for himself, however, she instead decapitated him with the Sword of Fangs.

(Giant-Size Mantra#1/2 - BTS) - Mantra then made peace with Topaz, telling her and her warriors to focus on the Nerosian troops while she used her magic to contain the fire until it burnt out.
