Bearers of Burden

The Bearers of Burden refer to a group of criminals led by an official of the Elgaia Federation during the formation of the Akras' Summoners' Hall who journeyed to Ishgria. Each member explored a different region but as with the expedition that would be carried out by the Summoners' Hall, all of its members were wiped out by demons. They went to Ishgria before Griff and co arrived to explore the land.
