CERES wasn't mentioned, but the Spirits were. Still, it's not as if anyone has given me the real history behind Cerealia from beginning to present. Books on the subject are so vague and heavily biased in Vincere's favor that there's only so much truth I can get from it.

[Then again, it's why he wants to look into those ruins in the jungle Sorey mentioned.]

The Spirits seem to parallel something from my world. The Five Lords, the seraphim powerful enough to be the source of our Seraphic Artes through their blessings. Fire, water, earth, wind, and void, the one without an element. My bet is that either Vincere or the new CEO are the cause for their dislike.
