Seven Deadly Sins Series

The **Seven Deadly Sins Series**, also known as the **Deadly Sins of Evil** series, is a multimedia series conceptualized and developed by Veva Medrano. It belongs to Veva's larger Chronicles of Evil. Building upon her first major success with The Daughter of Evil, Veva has expanded upon the story with numerous songs, books, and manga.

## Setting

The series is set in Bolganio, a fictional continent in the series' world, with most of its major actions taking place in its western region. The main storyline occurs throughout the timeline from the early EC 100s until the later EC 900s. Over the course of the story's history, the politics, technology, and culture of each country evolves and numerous countries are formed or destroyed during the course of the series. Many of the characters travel to and from these numerous countries throughout the plot and their politics plays a large role in the events taking place.

### Countries

#### Beelzenia

An empire originating in the south. It was also known as the "Red Country" or the "country born under the new moon". In the century after the Magic Kingdom Levianta's destruction, Beelzenia conquered territory farther north and controlled two-thirds of the region's landmass at its height. In the centuries afterward, both Asmodean and Lucifenia declared independence and Beelzenia swiftly declined. It was later attacked by the Kingdom of Lucifenia during King Arth's rule and lost much of its territory. It is the nation of origin of the Gula plague across the region.

#### Lucifenia

A state in the mid-west. It was once a Beelzenian territory before declaring its independence in EC 399 and became the Kingdom of Lucifenia. Under the reign of King Arth I and later Queen Anne, it became the most powerful nation of its era, but swiftly declined under the tyranny of Princess Riliane. After it was ruined by the revolution that broke out due to its war with Elphegort, it was incorporated as part of Marlon's territory for the following decade; its sovereignty was then returned to it and the state established itself as the Lucifenian Republic.

#### Elphegort

A state north of Lucifenia. It was also known as the "Green Country". Due to the Millennium Tree Forest lying between both nations, Elphegort was protected from Lucifenia's conquests until the "Green Hunting" caused by Princess Riliane. Its people were characterized by their green hair; implementing strong nationalist policies, the natives heavily discriminated against foreigners. Their sacred god Held resided in its forest as the "Millennium Tree", but was later replaced by the "new Millennium Tree" sometime after the Lucifenian Revolution.

#### Marlon

A state on the Hark Sea west of the mainland. It was also known as the "Blue Country". Armed with the strongest navy of the region, the nation originally competed with the Lioness country over the island but later gained hegemony over it. Marlon was allies with the Kingdom of Lucifenia and incorporated it as part of Marlon's territory after the Lucifenian Revolution for ten years. It waged war with Lucifenia's neighbors but stopped after the death of Queen Dowager Prim.

#### Asmodean

A state along the eastern border. Asmodean was originally part of the Beelzenian Empire and was the staging ground for many of its wars. Due to its geographic location, the territory became rich in Eastern culture. Less than a century after the Venomania Event, it established its own independence. Although competing with Lucifenia in the past, it lost momentum during its war with the Kingdom of Lucifenia. Numerous mercenaries were exported from the state.

#### Levianta

A state north of Elphegort and the religious capital of the Levin church. Rebuilt from the centuries-old ruins of the Magic Kingdom Levianta as "Holy Levianta", the new nation was a shadow of its former glory. It held an alliance with Elphegort but remained neutral during the nation's war with the Kingdom of Lucifenia because of its weak military. In EC 508, a faction of the church formed Neo Apocalypse and caused terrorist strikes across the country but were later subverted.

#### Jakoku

An island nation in the eastern region of Bolganio. It largely isolated itself from the rest, conducting limited trade with some nations before being opened to the western world. It had a unique culture, including items like the kimono and katana that, on rare occasions, appeared in the western region.

#### Maistia

A state located west of Marlon. Existing in a continent of the same name, it was discovered and colonized for trade by the nations. It later rebelled against Marlon and declared independence in EC 776.

#### Lioness

A state on the Hark Sea off the west coast of the mainland. It once competed with the Marlon country over the island but was eventually conquered before the EC 500s.

#### Tasan

A state in the southwestern area. Once known as the mighty Tasan Empire, it originally rivaled the Magic Kingdom Levianta, before later splitting apart due to infighting, forming Ra Tasan and Re Tasan. Afterwards, the entire territory was swallowed up by the growing Beelzenia Empire; it continued to exist in name around the area.

## Terminology

### Vessels of Sin

The vessels of sin were eight relics inhabited by a Demon of Sin. Because of the individual demons dwelling within them, each vessel has unique magical powers. Using the vessels, their owners could wield the powers of the demons dwelling in them; however, the demons were able to possess those who came in contact with the vessel and influence their personality and actions. While a demon could possess an individual, their essence remained in their vessel; as a result, the demon could be magically sealed and trapped inside the vessel, nullifying the vessel's effects.
