Caesar

## Lore

**Part 1**

"Fear not, for you are fighting alongside me."

-Excerpt from 'Emperor of Conquest", a eulogy to Julius

Behold! "Caesar" has returned, father of emperors and the great conqueror who started the history of the human race! Crossing the great Golden Plains, he conquered seven hundred and seventy-seven kingdoms and established the foundation of the human empire. He dominated the frigid north, barren south, cunning west, and treacherous east, and touched the roof of the sky at the edge of this world. The king of immortality even overcame death and returned with the Undertakers!

Praise the queen of the Undead "Eleonora" for bringing him from the land of eternal rest. Praise the Lady in Black who blessed his bones with the grace immortality. Praise the great king Caesar who returned to save his people as the last promise foretold! May his name be remembered for eternity.

Caesar is the first king who started the history of humans. He is the conqueror of the Golden Plains where the human empire would be established in the future. During his lifetime, he was often called the "Golden King", as he used to wear a golden crown instead of a helm to indicate his leadership.

He was the most ambitious and powerful monarch who ever lived. In addition, he was a stone-hearted king who would fear nothing. Regardless of his shirt life, he sought to enjoy all the freedom and pleasure that comes with being a human and he wanted his people to do the same. Thus, he abandoned the Church of the Pentagon and repeated the severe commandments presumably proclaimed by the Five Lords of heaven. He then proceeded to establish the free kingdom of humans that no one would dare try to suppress.

But strangely enough, his existence has been denied for a long time despite his bold decisions and amazing achievements. In particular, King Augustin , who was thought to have started Angelism, the belief in angels, destroyed Caesar's busts and monuments throughout the kingdom for no reason. He even attempted to remove his name by overturning the royal family tree. Due to this harsh destruction and repression, King Ernest and King Otzrava, his future successors, were unable to completely restore Caesar's records. They merely managed to complete a partial chronicle based on folklores about him.
However this partially completed chronicle was enough to reveal Caesar's existence. Born a prince of a small kingdom, who could have possibly
fought against the Church of the Pentagon's Pope and demi-gods known as "Descendants of Gods" when he only had a small group of mercenaries that was formed from travelling areas?

Known as the "War of Humans", this was represented the conflict between Caesar, the gold-crowned conqueror, and the dynasty of demi-gods, who posed as the "Descendants of Gods" and exploited the Pope. Numerous epic battles and mythical legends resulted as of this war. In the Battle of Sikander Plains, he dueled against three generals single handedly to rescue three hundred prisoners. In the Battle of Stanford Bridge, he and sixty soldiers fought for their lives on the burning bridge. In the Siege of Maximus Castle, he and six brave warriors climbed the castle walls and opened the gate to the demi-god kingdom that had been closed for three hundred years. In the Expedition to the End of the World, he carried the Spire Sword made out of lightning rod to fight against the thunder-wielding gold of light.

He conquered seven hundred and seventy-seven kingdoms and unified them to complete the largest kingdom in history. However, he never had the chance to rule it . He met his demise during the expedition to slay the god of light, the main culprit of the war. His body returned without a head. People believed that the god of light took his head to punish his arrogance. They made a gold crown to replace his head and buried
him.
Caesar disappeared into the mists of history along with the rise of the Angelism, which was started by King Augustin himself. Was it because he was deemed to be too humane to be listed in the divine lineage? Was he regarded as too imprudent for wishing to stay as human, defying the fact that he was a creation of god?

Several centuries later, Caesar returned after the fall of the human kingdom. However, he was the leader of the Undertakers this time, despite being the incarnation of humans.

The Undertakers are skeletal knights that serve the kingdom of the Undead called Eleonora. Their mission is to guide wandering Undeads in Usher to the white paradise. Historically, all of them were remarkable warriors and legendary heroes, but they were also sinners who gave rest of their own accord and chose the path of sacrifice to atone for their sins they committed during their lifetime.

However, there is one question that lingers at this point:What sins did Caesar want to atone for by becoming the leader of the Undertakers, despite fighting for humans all his life?
