Chapter 1: Mankind's Realm

The Great Goetia
Hundreds of years passed ever since the Gods abandoned the world, and the Guardians submerged themselves in an endless conflict within each other.

The sentient creatures, also known as "Mortals", settled in different parts of the world in an attempt to create communities similar to the ones formed by the Guardians before their time. These communities were, at first, just a group of settlers in search of a place to call home. However, the more they grew accustomed to the lands they settled, the more they expanded their control over nature and destiny itself.

Such is the case of Goetia, the Land of Dragons. This continent is one of the oldest ones in existence to ever be inhabited by mortals, and it characterizes as being the centre of one of the greatest conflicts of mortal kind.

Jybryll, The First Country
And as mortal kind progresses, the first country in existence is born. Naturally, as a community grows closer and stronger, they also grow powerful.

But not without help, for Jybryll the Kingdom of Roses, was helped by an external force to grow in such power as it is today. The Guardian "Roman",  Guardian of Victory, said to have blessed King Augustus Prefiert I, the first king of Jybryll recorded through history.

Nonetheless, the victories accomplished by Jybryll were endless. The first king managed to unify all the villages in the south of Goetia in a single Kingdom, using the might of both his words and his blade. The King was powerful like no other, for his might was feared by any enemy of Jybryll.

And thus, the Kingdom grew prosperous with the help of both the Guardian and the King, for better or for worse...

Proclamations of War
Decades have passed since King Augustus Prefiert I passed away and his son, King Lancelot Prefiert, now rules over the Kingdom of Jybryll with an iron fist and a will of gold. He has proclaimed multiple times to the nearby countries of Langrim the mighty power of his army, as his soldiers have trespassed into other countries' territories on multiple occasions in search of resources.

Tension is rising up in Goetia, for the winds of war seem to be blowing for the first time after hundreds of thousands of years after the First War against the Cataclysm. The Guardians know this, for they have been the only ones to ever witness a conflict of such magnitude once before. Most of them wish to prevent something like the Cataclysm to happen again...

Or do they? As rumours say that the Guardian Roman was the one who proposed to the king that he gears up his troops for combat and prepare for the conflict ahead. The purpose of this is unknown, nor if it is even true at all.

Whichever may be the case, Goetia is at the border of conflict these days, as even a single movement between any of its parts could cause the end of all the relative peace in the continent.

The Takao Incident
And thus, the flames of conflict spark up as Jybryll soldiers are found themselves in what can be considered one of the most gruesome events in Goetia's history.

Takao, one of the most important islands for commerce between The Hakao Empire and the Jytolland Theocracy, was burned to the ground on a singular strike by a summoning scion from part of the Jrybriliam army, as soldiers wearing the rose's coat of arms were found at the vicinities of the island. This was considered a great offence for both the Jytolland's High Priest and the Hakao's Empress, as they both demanded an explanation from the King of Jybryll.

The King hasn't officially responded to any of the threats imposed by both the Empress or the High Priest. Perhaps he is waiting for something to happen...
