The Windmill Vandals are a group of four horse-backed vandals who once plagued the land of Nowhere. Farmer Jiles Galette, who originally built and lived in the Farmhouse two-hundred-and-fifty years ago, constructed the windmill next to the farmhouse, inscribing each blade with magical rune symbols, which when spun by the windmill, kept the vandals at bay.
250 years ago prior to the TV show's events, Galette built a windmill at a time when everyone else depended on water wheels, which were built by the vandals. One day, the water dried up and that made Galette the only man with a working mill. The vandals hated him for it, so they went after him. Luckily, Galette was able to keep the vandals away from his home by carving four magical symbols on the back of the blades, one for each fin. It then started the legend that if the windmill stops turning, the vandals will return from the dead and get revenge on those who are in possession of it.
