By keeping an equilibrium between the 12 Gods and 13 Dark Gods, the World was created and maintained.
The Gods created the humans who were modeled after themselves, all the humans in the world were peaceful and blessed by the Gods in the early days of mankind.
But the peace was so fragile due to the conflict between the 12 Gods and 13 Dark Gods. The conflict caused hatred of each other, the hatred caused fights, and the fights would eventually cause a War.
Against "Prios of Absolute", the king of the Gods, the leader of The 13 Dark Gods "Deimos of Chaos" broke out with a rebellion. This war was called "Ragnarok".
At the beginning of the war, The 12 Gods were absolutely superior to The 13 Dark Gods because they had steel-plated giants known as "machina".  the Machina huge Mobile suits of armor and are able to increase the pilot's magical power as well as its own enormous defensive power and physical power. 
Machinas operated by the 12 Gods overwhelmed the Dark Gods and it seemed to end the war easily. 
However, the Dark Gods would not admit defeat. They had also prepared trump cards for their own counterattack. After a great deal of effort, they created new dark magic which had never been seen before, and found ways of changing their body shape to maximize the power of dark magic, which is called "Grima".
Their new dark magic was so strong that it destroyed the balance of the world. Also, Grima allowed the Dark Gods to have a strong body as powerful as Machinas. In spite of its enormous power, it has a side effect which made their bodies look grotesque and malformed. That's why the remaining records of Ragnarok describe the Dark Gods as horrifying.
Thanks to the enforced dark magic and Grima, their conflict was evenly matched.
At that time, there was an unexpected incident. It was the awakening of the absolute being known as "Shiva". Excessively using the dark magic destroyed the balance of the world and had finally awoken Shiva.
The Shivas were powerful, too powerful, they even surpassed the 12 Gods and 13 Dark Gods. Their most fearsome aspect is that they are not conscious. Using their overwhelming power to destroy everything with no purpose. They seemed to have just been born to destroy everything.
Because of the Shivas, the Sky burned, the land was drenched in blood, and the whole world lost hope.
The 12 Gods and 13 Dark Gods decided to seal themselves so that they may survive.
The Gods were then sealed and disappeared, and it was the last that the Antaria Continent heard of them. 
After the Gods' disappearance, the Shivas also disappeared, and no one knows why.
The abandoned land, Antaria, finally belonged to the survivors. The age of myth has finally ended.
The tribes of Antaria including humans consist of two categories; Esprit who serves the 12 Gods and the Devils who serves the 13 Dark Gods.
They have fought with each other helping them serve the Gods since Ragnarok.
Even after the Gods disappeared, they still in conflict with each other, which is called "Jihad"
From generation to generation, the conflict has been handed down.
In the year 1202, Esgel Calendar, there was a great change.
The change occurred in Geisir Empire which is ruled by the Devil Tribe. The historical hero Karl Styner, called the Dark Prince, appeared in Antaria.
He who wields powerful dark magic and powerful swordsmanship as well as a great strategist. He joined all nations under Geisir Empire and created "The Dark Armor Alliance". 
Finally, the Dark Prince set his sword at the four Esprit nations who served the 12 Gods; Pandragon, Astania, Cutis, and Da'ghal.
Those four nations also created "The Silver Arrow Alliance" against them.
The whirlwind of war has begun with Geisir's invasion of Cyrupps, a neutral nation.
