(PROSE:Wandering Stars)

When several of the gods decided to align themselves to the planets of the Solar System, Gaia took Earth, whilePan took its twin planetEl Mundo. Its inhabitants, theSatyrmen, developed a key that could open a gateway to the gods' realm; Pan shared this technology with the other gods, creating a key for each one, including Gaia. In1986, she was living in the coastal town ofNerja in southernSpain, running a tavern calledGaia's Bar. (PROSE:The Rise & Fall of Señor 105)
