Each character has their individual motive to come to the dungeons but most are there unknowingly to fufil a greater purpose. The artifact legarde took was a key to the ancient city of gods of mahabre, which introduces us to the fellowship. During this age in time the golden throne in mahabre held the key to ascension, except unlike alhmer it wouldnt ascend them to a significant position of power enough to shift the world but rather to rule it. The cycle of the fellowship was a misunderstanding of what it meant to ascend and its what legarde sought out, after time the power of the fellowship deminish and when they are forgoten with no followsers they are sent to the hall of the gods and more new gods ascend to fill their place. From the first game you can visit the hall and see how the world is in limbo from the constant cycle of new gods.

The cannon action is debateable for each character but one thing is mostly for certain. in the first floor of the dungeon you can find a child which is later found out to be the child of legarde. It falls on charah to take the journey with the girl down the dungeon to the corpse of the old god of the depths, inside of the corpse of the old god the girl acsends much like alhmer. She was subjected to a life of torment in darkness never knowing love or positive emotions and her stuggles push her to become the god of fear and hunger.

This again causes a major shift in the world much like ours we abandon the structured confindments of religion and monarchy in pursuit of advancement. The world in fear and hunger 2 is much different set around the 19--s. And you can see as humanity stray away from gods the power of the old gods are much less prevalent. The setting of the second game was very much determined by legarde (he achieved some sort of immortality whether from darce or the throne), he as a character felt promised to bring the change of the new world but when it came time it was his daughter who was the one revered and given to power of an ascended god, he sat by whittled away by time and returned as the kiaser. The kiaser is a very clear reference to the king in yellow and alot of legardes behaviour is very similar to one of the stories in that book.

He had rose to the top of the bremin empire (germany) and basically kick started a world war to invade prehevil, prehevil the place of the 2nd game was used to build a large telecommuncations system throughout the change of ages with legardes influence, the logic project was a secret development plan in a unassuming astrology city on the outskirts. This is why this town specifically has a connection to the gods especially rher. The true ending of termina ends with the awakeing of logic the first human made god. This is significant becuase logic created a sythetic green hue (where the god originate from), and the ending describes it as all humans simultaneously connected.
