Akardos (Legends Awakening)

**Akardos** (アカルド,*Akarodu*  **Irix** in the Japanese version) is the name of the continent on which the game *KvD: Legends Awakening* and *KvD: Legends Awakening Blaze* takes place. It shares its name with the Halidom of Delyra.

## History

2000 years prior to *Legends Awakening*, Akardos was previously the continent of Achardos.

1000 years prior to *Legends Awakening*, the Titan Hydra Dragon Garuga attempted to destroy the world. However, his actions were stopped by the Divine Dragon of Flames: Solaris, who granted the First Exalt of the Halidom of Delyra her power through the Solar Awakening ritual. Garuga was defeated and put into a deep slumber. Because of the immense strength of the Arcane Emblem, the five gemstones resting in it were removed and distributed to various countries during a time known as the Spring Wintercress. Akardos then separated itself into three separate nations, the Halidom of Delyra, Regna Kagia, and the Theocracy of Gudora (along with it's sister cities: Crodantis, Durene, Aragary, Aprelux, and Wenox). However, 1000 years later, Garuga reawakens, and seeks vengeance against Solaris for imprisoning him.

## Countries

### Delyra

The Halidom of Delyra is located in the southeastern part of the continent. Its people worship the Divine Dragon of Flames, Solaris. At the start of the game, Arcturakos rules as Exalt.

### Kagia

Regna Kagia comprises of the entire northern half of Delyra and separated from its southern neighboring countries by a long wall stretching from one coast to another. Kagia has two rulers; Ascald, the East-Ruler, and Hardo, the West-Ruler. Only one of the Rulers can hold sovereignty at a time, so they hold a tournament to decide who is the ruling Ruler.

### Gudora

The Theocracy of Gudora is an aggressive nation located in the southwest. Much of the country has long been under the dictatorship of the Garugi who worship Garuga, the Titan Hydra Dragon. At the start of the game it is ruled by king Garea.

### Crodantis

a small peaceful town located northwest of Akardos. Tenaki's restaurant, *The Ruby Fox* is a traveler's number one pit stop for their hungry needs.

### Durene

It is the only port that is accessible to cross The Monster Sea and end up in Port Fonaxe. In Legends Awakening: Blaze, Aerin was famous enough for using Port Aragary to travel back to Solaria after meeting up with Rubio.

### Aprelux
