世界観 基礎知識

## オリエンスの世界

舞台はオリエンスという世界で４つの国がそれぞれのクリスタルの加護のもとペリシティリウムを中心に繁栄している

また長きに渡り互いに衝突しあっていて戦争が絶えない世界

ゲーム開始後にミリテス皇国のシドが朱雀領ルブルムに侵攻したところから物語が始まる

## 朱雀クリスタル

クリスタルの力→魔法

国は朱雀領ルブルムでプレイヤーはこのルブルムのアギト候補生０組(クラスゼロ)となる

クリスタルの力が一番強いとされているが最もクリスタルに依存した国でもある

アギト候補生を育成する施設で色々な組が存在しドクターアレシア率いる０組は幻の存在と言われる

軍は魔法を中心にしたもので通称「八席議会」と呼ばれる議会で国を運営している

現院長カリヤが国の最高責任者で元首をつとめている

## 白虎クリスタル

クリスタルの力→兵器

国はミリテス皇国でクリスタルの衰えが著しい国

10年前のクーデターでシドが実権を握りクリスタルに依存しない国を目指し機械の発展に力を入れている

魔導アーマーを主戦力とし次々と新型の開発に余念がなく軍備で他国を圧倒している

ゲーム開始時に朱雀領ルブルムへ侵攻し、後にオリエンス全土に宣戦布告する

## 蒼龍クリスタル

クリスタルの力→竜

国はコンコルディア王国 で女王を筆頭に女性中心の国家

竜やモンスターをあやつる力を授かり軍はドラゴン族を中心とした部隊となっている

女王アンドリアは予知能力があると言われ蒼龍クリスタルの化身でもあるソウリュウ(竜であり蒼龍のルシ)と深く結ばれていてアンドリア自身も蒼龍のルシである

穏健派で知られ今回のミリテス皇国と朱雀領ルブルムの戦でも間に入り調停に力添えするが、その予知能力が災いし後に悲劇を生んでしまう

## 玄武クリスタル

クリスタルの力→剣 盾

国はロリカ同盟で代々力あるものが重用される事もあり王がルシになる事が多い

白虎クリスタルと同じ位クリスタルの衰えがあり土地は荒れている

玄武人は大柄な民俗で個人の力では他国を凌駕し特に王はクリスタルの力を直接注入して代々作られた王家の武具を身にまとい絶大な戦闘力を誇る

ゲーム開始後にミリテス皇国シド元帥による「北の夜明け」作戦で禁呪とされるアルテマ弾投下により国は滅亡する

王はシリーズお馴染みのギルガメッシュで国の滅亡後はルシとして暴走し力持つ者の前に現れ、主人公らの前に度々姿を現す

## ０組について

このクラスゼロを操作してゲームを進める事になるがその出生や存在は謎が多くドクターアレシアが子供の頃に引き取って育てたメンバー(これにマキナとレムを加えたのが正規の０組)

トランプにちなんだ名前が付けられていて育ての親のドクターアレシアをマザーと呼び、基本的にマザー以外の人の言う事は聞かない傾向にある

ミリテス皇国の侵攻で朱雀クリスタルを封じられたが０組だけは魔法を使えたため首都奪還作戦の切り札となる

## ドクターアレシアについて

魔法局の局長でその経歴など全て謎だが八席議会の一員で国の最高責任者であるカリヤ院長にも絶大な発言力があり、対等以上の態度もとる事から議会から不満の声も多く、彼女を失脚させようと何かと画策が絶えない

特に軍令部長は魔法主体の朱雀においてはアレシアに実権を握られてる感があり何かと難癖をつけてはイザコザが絶えない

マキナとレムを除いた０組のメンバーは彼女をマザーと呼び、アレシア自身も本当の子供のように接していて０組全員から絶大な信頼を寄せる

## アギトの伝承

９と９が９を迎える時、世界に「フィニス」が訪れる

螺旋を巡るオリエンスはアギト待つ世界

様々な言い伝えによりオリエンスを統一したものがアギトではないかと漠然と民の中に広まっている

フィニスとはクリスタルが力を失った時に世界が終わると言われ、アギトは救世主を意味する事から世界が終焉を迎えた時にアギトになった者がこの世界を救うと思われている

## ルシについて

クリスタルが意思のもと使命を与えた存在で絶大な力を持つその国の守護神

甲型(男性)と乙型(女性)があり甲型は戦闘力に特化していてその力は絶大である。乙型は主に支援型の力を持つものが多く強大な魔力を誇る

朱雀の乙型ルシであるセツナは世界最古のルシと言われその存在感は神々しさすら感じさせ凄まじい魔力を誇る

ルシに選ばれたものは次第に人の感情を失いクリスタルの意思によってのみ行動するようになり、直接殺されない限り死ぬ事はない

使命を果たすと昇華しクリスタルとなり使命に背くとシ骸という魔物に成り果てる

## 軍神について

他の国では召喚獣と呼ぶが朱雀では召喚する際に命を引き換えにする事から軍神と畏敬を込めて呼んでいる

候補生の中でも軍神の召喚に特化したクラスがあり朱雀の主戦力となる一方、バハムートなど強力な軍神召喚には自らの命を犠牲にするために死者は絶えずクラスのメンバーの入れ替わりも激しい

## 死の忘却

これがこの物語独特のものでオリエンスでは人が死ぬとその人に関する記憶をクリスタルが消し去るため誰かが死んでもその人の事で悲しむことはこの世界ではない

これは死者の想いにとらわれて前に進めなくなる事がないようにとクリスタルが人に行う慈悲とされている

2015 NWHL Draft

2015

The **2015 NWHL draft** was the first in the history of the National Women's Hockey League (2015). It took place on June 20, 2015 in Boston.

The draft was not binding on the players, who did not enter their names and did not have to give their consent. It was not clear that the players felt themselves bound by the decisions made in the draft. However, during the season the NWHL was frequently active on social media about draft picks' success in the NCAA, and on April 1, 2016 the NWHL announced that the draft would be enforced insofar as there would be salary cap penalties for teams that signed other teams' draftees.

## Draft lottery

A draft lottery was held by NWHL commissioner Dani Rylan for the Draft. The New York Riveters earned the first pick overall. Following the Riveters shall be the Connecticut Whale picking second overall.

Zero

## Overview

A mysterious young man with an inherit skill for tactics and politics. His true loyalties remain a mystery, although he has stated that he knows "Sloan" and CTN-117.

## Backstory

Zero arrived shortly in Takistan at an unknown time, but he first met Devon immediately after the Turkish Army betrayed the NATO garrison on August 25th, 2036. He struck a deal with Devon, the deal being that Zero would control the invasion of Takistan from behind the scenes and he'd give orders to Devon, who would instead act as a figurehead for the 8th Battalion since Zero did not want to reveal himself. After giving an inspirational speech to the men and women of the 8th, Devon took him to his personal compound and gave him and abandoned barrack as his workplace. He then said he would answer any of Devon's questions; which, to his chagrin, was a question about himself and his identity. He refused to take his mask off, but he instead offered a vague description of his personality; Smart, genius with tactics and politics, and hinted that he was either in his late-teens or young adulthood.

## Personality

Zero is a mysterious character who holds all of his cards close to his chest and he always has a backup plan or an 'ace up his sleeve', which more often then not is either Devon or causing an event that his foes would not anticipate. The young man is very political savvy and serves as Devon's main political analyst and strategist, in both politics and warfare. Zero could be seen as a complete opposite of Devon. Zero is tactical, daring, brilliant, and underneath his charismatic mask, a brutal person who will cross any line in order to win. While Devon is by no means unintelligent, he is not as well versed with politics and large-scale warfare as Zero is. Devon is not as charismatic as Zero, but he is more genuine and honest, while Zero lies when he finds it necessary. Zero also does care about those under his command, but he clearly shows favoritism and is willing to sacrifice anything as long as he reaches his goal. Most of his allies do not trust him, unlike Devon who is a down-to-earth man who acts very informal with his men and quickly earns respect from them. In his twisted, but brilliant mind; he views the battlefield as a chessboard and tends to reference chest quite often and even assigns code names to his subordinates with chess pieces (i.e. Devon is a Knight, a standard NATO soldier is a Pawn).

This edition of the All-Star Game featured a "fantasy draft" format in order to determine the rosters. The team captains were Hilary Knight from the Boston Pride, and forward Emily Pfalzer, also a team captain with the Buffalo Beauts. Team Knight had the first pick overall and selected Kacey Bellamy. The captains each chose 11 players for their team.

In addition, each captain had to select two goalies among their 11 selections. Two available spots on each team would be determined by fan balloting, which would take place from December 11–14, 2015, with winning players announced on December 15.

## Fan voting
