Imbrium is the Guardian of the Star of the Parhelia constellation. Her name means "tears" but she is known by many other names; the Silver Lady, the Queen of Stars, the Queen of Tears, and the Lady of Parhelia. She helped protect the Sun's Blade from Malus, the dark Parhelia.

Imbrium fell in love with the prince of T'aeryn, Solorion, but because she was the Guardian of a Star, she could not live an ordinary mortal life. Imbrium left her constellation, setting the Parhelia free. Death granted her an immortal soul and the power of her Star was locked away in the crystal form of a scepter rod, a symbol of peace. However, if she choose, the power of her Star could be awakened and used. Imbrium and Solorion were married and made King and Queen of Earth's sister planet T'aeryn. Their reign marked the start of a long and peaceful time.

However, this happiness was short-lived, for a dark shadow threatened the planets of Light. The Dark Lord sought to seize the power of the stars now finally within his grasp. For years, the Dark Lord's Chosen One had built up enmity against the kingdom of T'aeryn. General Jareil Halcyon, once a friend of the royal family, grew jealous of the Star Guardian's power and the love between Imbrium and Solorion. He plotted in secret against the King and Queen with the Dark Dragon. With the power of Malus' Eye and the Army of the Damned, he led a massive attack on the planet of T'aeryn on the night of the Great Fall. All of the people were annihilated and only a rare few who managed to escape through a Star Gate lived to tell the tale.

The sun was eclipsed by the Earth and it's Guardian, Helios, was powerless to help, so sudden and furious was the attack that came without warning. Queen Imbrium, hearing the soul of the planet scream in anguish and seeing the cloud of darkness descending like a wave upon the palace at Tirisfal frantically tried to locate her only child - the Crown Princess of T'aeryn, the only heir to the throne. The Princess, only four years old at the time, was innocently playing in the palace gardens, completely unaware of the horror raging out of control beyond the palace walls.

The King vainly tried to organize the city's soldiers to hold back the onslaught but they were viciously cut down by the Army of the Damned. King Solorion was forced to retreat to the inner courtyard of the palace and protect his daughter who emerged from the gardens hearing the howl of battle. Solorion made his last stand in front of the palace gates, challenged to a fight with Jareil, who he thought was once his friend. The King was slain in front of his daughter, the image of his death forever seared into the Princess's mind. Jareil took the Princess hostage, demanding that the Queen be brought before him and the secret of her power given to him or he would kill her child.

Imbrium, knowing that her beloved mate was dead and fearing for her daughter, relented. The Queen would give the Dark Lord's Chosen her power if she could only have her child back. The Princess was released, but as soon as she was gathered into her mother's arms, a brilliant flash of light engulfed them both and they vanished. Imbrium had awakened her Star for the final battle. The Queen gave her child to her closest friend, Elowyn, and instructed her to swiftly take the princess to the palace Star Gate and travel to Earth where they would be safe. Queen Imbrium would stay on T'aeryn and fight the terrible darkness to prevent it from ever reaching Earth. Elowyn, with the Princess under her cloak, raced out of the palace on the Chrys'luma unicorn who would help them travel through the Gateway to Earth.

The General Jareil, furious at being tricked, tore through every room of the palace, killing all the inhabitants and looking for the Queen. He finally spotted her form climbing to the highest tower of the palace and pursued. Imbrium reached the open platform at the top of the spire well before Jareil. Gazing out across the heavens to the glowing sphere of the Earth, she made the ultimate choice. She cast shields around the Earth, Moon and Sun to protect them and granted new lives to the innocent T'aerynians killed in battle to be reborn on Earth. Imbrium made her Star to supernova, completely destroying the Army of Darkness with the powerful explosion of light engulfing the planet. However, the Queen Imbrium was instantly killed in the moment her Star died. The great power blasted the planet of T'aeryn apart, but because shields were placed over the neighboring planets, they were protected. The Moon's shield failed at the last moment, it's beautiful gardens and forests were burned, it's many seas vaporized in a few seconds, the surface pummeled with chunks of rock from the destruction of T'aeryn, and the Moon became a dead, lifeless rock.

Elowyn and the Princess, now racing to Earth in the Star Gateway, saw the blinding supernova ignite the planet T'aeryn and consume the evil darkness. The Dark Lord, seeing what was about to happen and realizing that the Silver Queen would rather die than hand over the power of the Stars, ripped the very fabric of space to save his Chosen One and Malus. The daughter of the King and Queen was taken into the forest on Earth to be raised in seclusion. The Princess, traumatized by what had happened, had her memories of that night sealed away by Elowyn who would release them once the Princess was older. The pieces of the planet T'aeryn formed a ring around the inner planets known as the Asteroid Belt which remain to this day.
