Darius was one of the seven conspirators who killed Chloe Halford, the user of the 4th Spellblade and the mother of Oliver Horn seven years before the main story.

It is soon revealed that he regularly steals research results from the brighter students in his classes and presents them to the public as his original theories.

Dead god

## The Dead God

**The dead god** or **the fallen god**, true name unknown, is the god that formerly ruled the world of *Reign of the Seven Spellblades*.

## History

The natural laws of our world were established by its god long ago. It was known to prefer the elves over the world's other races, particularly humans, due to their comparative respect for its dictates.

Approximately fifty thousand years ago, an alliance of humans and demihumans brokered by the progenitor demihumans rose up against and ultimately killed the god, transforming our world into an atheosphere.

Magic itself was formerly the authority invested in the dead god, and passed into the control of mages once it was slain.

Despite the god's death, the natural laws it established for our world remain in force, enforced by means of frenetic principles.

Sword arts

**Sword arts** in the world of *Reign of the Seven Spellblades* is a catchall term for a family of combat techniques that combine the use of magic and athames in close combat.

## Background

Sword arts originated in the year 1132, when High Sorcerer Wilf Badderwell was killed in a fair duel by a nonmagical swordsman, demonstrating the concept of the one-step, one-spell distance: a radius of approximately twelve feet in which a sword can strike faster than any mage can cast a conventional spell. Since the death of Badderwell, mages have adopted and honed the use of swords, and combined them with magic to create three major styles of sword arts for protection against attacks within this range.

Spellblades are considered the ultimate expression of sword arts. The technical definition of a spellblade is, as stated by Lanoff Style founder Lanoff Evarts, *"A strike that can be neither dodged nor blocked, thereby guaranteeing death. Fulfill these conditions within the one-step, one-spell distance, and you have what is called a 'spellblade.'"*

As of 1532, Professor Luther Garland taught a class in Sword Arts at Kimberly Magic Academy.

## The three major styles

* **Lanoff Style:** Emphasizes defense while analyzing an opponent's attack patterns to find openings to counterstrike.
* **Rizett Style:** Emphasizes offense, aggression and exploiting opponents weak spots.
* **Koutz Style:** Emphasizes mobility, agility, and disruption. Koutz purists are extremely rare.

## Lesser Known Styles & Applications

* **Hibiya Style:** Samurai battlefield techniques passed down in the Hibiya clan of Tourikueisen, Yamatsu, merged with Western sword arts by Nanao Hibiya.
* **Magicombat:** Considered a "counterargument" of sorts to traditional sword arts that instead combines close-range magic with unarmed martial arts.

Battle of Hell's Armies

The so-called **Battle of Hell's Armies** is the test to enter the third layer of the labyrinth under Kimberly Magic Academy from the second.

## Background

The Battle of Hell's Armies consists of two forces of undead warriors who eternally reenact the Battle of Diama between the ancient nations of Rumoa and Kurtoga. Mages who wish to enter the third layer of the labyrinth must, once per year, help the Kurtogan army, who lost the historical battle, win. Students who have previously completed the test that academic year are not allowed to assist newcomers.

In 1532, while attempting to rescue Pete Reston amongst several students kidnapped by Ophelia Salvadori, the Sword Roses attempted the test. They defeated the Rumoan cavalry charge by using toolplants supplied by Guy Greenwood to construct a barricade to guard the flanks of the Kurtogan infantry, creating an opening for Nanao Hibiya to lead a (literal) decapitation strike against the opposing general.

It was also possible to simply brute-force the test. In 1534, the entrants to the senior-year preliminary round of the combat leagues, led by Alvin Godfrey and Leoncio Echevalria, arrived at the Battle of Hell's Armies to discover that Professor Vanessa Aldiss had single-handedly destroyed *both* armies while waiting for them.

Ames comes from an old magical family, though they have never produced a truly noteworthy mage.

In 1534, Ames led a team in the junior combat leagues. Prior to their opening bout, she secretly made an agreement with Rosé Mistral and Jürgen Liebert that their teams would collaborate to eliminate Oliver Horn's team of himself, Nanao Hibiya, and Yuri Leik before fighting each other. However, Team Horn proved even tougher opponents than they expected: they defeated all three opposing teams with only Leik becoming a simulated casualty.

Shortly after, Ames's team joined the posse sent by the Kimberly Campus Watch in pursuit of Cyrus Rivermoore after he attacked Alvin Godfrey during the senior league prelims and stole his sternum.

Over this, she wears a black robe with silver trim, and lining matching their necktie color of their current school year. It is coupled with large leather straps that wrap over her right shoulder and reach down at her sides which holsters a wand and athame, respectively. Ames does not wear the standard necktie with her uniform, but a necklace made with a gold chain and a red jewel. She wears red tights and brown ankle boots.

## Personality

According to author Bokuto Uno, Ames has low self-esteem that prevents her from asserting herself, but she is dedicated. She likes to read, especially heroic legends and *shoujo* manga.

Creatures from tír worlds often migrate to their world causing damage the local ecosystem, the most dangerous of these invaders being Apostles. Apostles are scouts of the tír gods, sent to convert the local populace into becoming Gnostics, followers of a tír god, in order to summon their god to this world. No matter which god they serve, the ultimate goal of every Gnostic is the same: summon the god they worship, destroy the order and dominion of our world, and remake it according to the unnatural rules of the god's tír. In order to prevent this from happeneing, Gnostics are hunted down without compromise or concession. The direct extermination of Gnostics are carried out by Gnostic Hunters, teams composed of elite mages who excel at combat.

Eight of these tírs are on a consistent cycle that brings them into direct contact with the world and are considered their primary threat. These include: Marcurius, the Fragrant Water's Shore; Venasgorn, the Brooding Golden Mountain; Luftmarz, the Ravaging Inferno's Kiln; Hadiaiupitre, the Imperious Green Garden; Ganosatun, the Beast's Terrain; Uranischegar, the Judgmental Heavens; Ayrioneptu, the Rotting Sea’s Shoals; and Vanato, the Chthonic Retreat.

Tír

> "Why is observing the stars such a pressing matter? I doubt you need that explained, but as it is fundamental to the conceit, I shall do so: Because every little light in the night sky is a world distinct from our own—a tír."
>
> Professor Demitrio Aristides, *Reign of the Seven Spellblades* Volume 5, Chapter 1

A **tír** is an alternate world, distinct from the one that *Reign of the Seven Spellblades* normally takes place in, which operates by its own physical and natural laws.

## Background

A tír is an alien world, with its own rules, environments, and ecosystems, frequently intelligent life, and often its own god.

Normally tírs are only perceptible as the stars of the night sky. However, in rare instances, they pass close enough to each other for passages to open between them and allow travel. Some are natural migrations: many magical creatures of our world originated on other tírs. However, others are attempts by the god of that tír to seize control of the destination, often through the use of agents known as apostles or seraphs. Our world, as an atheosphere whose god is long dead, is a particularly enticing target.

## Known tírs

Eight tírs consistently come into conflict with our world on a regular basis.

* Marcurius, the Fragrant Water's Shore.
* Venasgorn, the Brooding Golden Mountains.
* Luftmarz, the Ravaging Inferno's Kiln.
* Hadiaiupitre, the Imperious Green Garden.
* Ganosatun, the Beast’s Terrain.
* Uranischegar, the Judgmental/Regimented Heavens.
* Ayrioneptu, the Rotting Sea’s Shoals.
* Vanato, the Chthonic Retreat.

## Mage experiments

Mages have attempted various experiments to reach or harness the properties of other tírs, with mixed results.

* In 1531, during a close passage by Luftmarz, Clifton Morgan opened a portal to the tír in an attempt to capture a sample of its flames. The experiment went disastrously awry: Morgan became infected by the flames and spent the next two years hiding in the labyrinth as he gradually burned alive.
* In 1532, a Kimberly Magic Academy student became consumed by the spell after opening a portal to an unidentified tír from their laboratory in the labyrinth. Darius Grenville and Oliver Horn traveled into the laboratory to close the portal to prevent a potential outbreak.

## Trivia

* "Tír" is a Gaelic (Irish and Scots) word that literally translates as "land", "nation", or "realm".

Clifton Morgan

**Clifton Morgan**  (クリフトン＝モーガン, *Kurifuton Mōgan*) is a student at Kimberly Magic Academy.

## Background

Morgan was once the catcher of Diana Ashbury when they played together with the Blue Swallows broomsport team, and the two had fallen in love. At the same time, Morgan was pursuing academic research into the properties of the tír Luftmarz. He took a leave of absence from the team during a period in 1531 when Luftmarz would be passing close to our world, telling Ashbury that if he didn't return after a certain date, she should assume he was dead.

Morgan's experiment involved opening a portal to Luftmarz to take a sample of its fire. However, he suffered a lab accident and the fire infected his body. This dramatically improved his capabilities with fire magic, but at the same time caused him to gradually burn alive. Morgan remained in the second layer of the labyrinth hoping to extend his life, and allowed Ashbury to believe he was dead.

The Sword Roses persuaded Morgan to return to the surface in 1533 to watch Ashbury's attempt to break the broomstick time trial record, and his appearance gave her the motivation to succeed. However, immediately after she crossed the finish line, Morgan was consumed by the spell: he lost control of the fire of Luftmarz and it exploded out of him. Ashbury intentionally dove her broomstick into the fireball and they burned to death in each other's arms.

## Appearance

Morgan was a burly young man with rugged good looks. He had black hair and a beard.

## Personality

Morgan was a gentle and good-natured man and a big laugher.

## Abilities

* **Striking Strength:**

* **Stamina:**

* **Intelligence:**

* **Range:**

* **Durability:**

* **Speed:**

* **Magic capabilities:**

## Relationships

* **Diana Ashbury**: Played as her catcher on the Blue Swallows, and became her lover before his disappearance.

* **Alvin Godfrey**: Tutored him on proper control of his fire magic.

Labyrinth

## Japanese

The **Labyrinth** is a sprawling, multi-layer magical biotope that exists beneath Kimberly Magic Academy.

## Overview

The labyrinth is home to many magical plants and creatures, making it dangerous for anyone venturing in unprepared.

Many students in higher grades make their own research spaces in the labyrinth.

## Layers

The Labyrinth is made up of various layers, each more dangerous than the ones before it.

### First Layer

The first layer is a stone-work maze that encroaches on the school buildings after nightfall, making it easy for unaware students to accidentally make their way into it. It can also be accessed via a magical painting in one of the school's classrooms.

On the first layer, there is a colosseum that students sometimes use for private duels, away from the eyes of Kimberly staff.

### Second Layer

The second layer is comprised of forests and jungles. It is known as the Bustling Forest.

To pass to the third layer, travelers must complete a trial in which two opposing undead armies clash. The travelers must assist the side that would otherwise lose in defeating the other army.

### Third Layer

The third layer is made up of a vast swamp. The safest way to pass is via boat, as there are many dangerous flying creatures hiding in the trees of the swamp.

This layer is home to the workshop of Ophelia Salvadori.

To pass to the fourth layer, the travelers must pass a trial that simulates the contents a randomly assigned reading from a book held by a black robed figure.

### Fourth Layer

The fourth layer is an actual library, referred to as the Library of Depths. Surrounding the library is a wilderness area without monsters.

There are 20 passages leading to different points on the fifth layer called the Helicoid Halls.

Terrain in the fourth layer is highly resistant to magic interference.

* **Ophelia Salvadori**: Shannon and Ophelia were once friends, before Ophelia began living in the Labyrinth and avoiding others.

Broomstick

**Broomsticks** are a species of magical beast depicted in the world of *Reign of the Seven Spellblades*.

## Description

Broomsticks are life-forms that live in symbiosis with mages, allowing them to ride them and feeding off of their mana. Common household brooms originated as the corpses of broomsticks.

At Kimberly Magic Academy, Professor Dustin Hedges kept a stable of broomsticks of the family *Scopae* and genus *Besom* for student use.

## Abilities

Broomsticks could be extremely fast depending on the individual and the rider. However, they had a flight ceiling dictated by the density of magical particles in the air. Diana Ashbury's signature "Ashbury Turn" exploited this by riding her broom to its flight ceiling and falling off, then catching the falling broom and using the increased closing velocity to assist in unhorsing her opponent.

Yamatsu

**Yamatsu** (also known as **Yamatsukuni**) is a country in the world. It is part of Azia.

## History

Yamatsu is located far to the east of Yelgland and contains a number of warring fiefdoms such as Tourikueisen. Its lords are served by warriors known as samurai, who unlike Western mages prefer two-handed swords called katanas.

## Locations

* Akanezaka Pass
* Kiryuu
* Tourikueisen

## Citizens

* Hibiya Nanao
* Souma Yasutsuna
* Souma Yoshihisa

## Trivia

* Yamatsu is the equivalent of Japan in the world of *The Seven Spellblades*. It comes from the word "Yamato", one of the names for Japan. More specifically, it appears to be based on Japan as of the Sengoku Period, an extended period of dynastic wars that took place from approximately the 15th to 17th centuries CE (volume 1 of the novels begins in the year 1532 of the Great Calendar).

* Yamatsu is written as "日の国" in Japanese, meaning "Sun Country" in Japanese. It is similar to the real-world "Nihon" (日本国), the Japanese word for the country of Japan.

**Lesedi Ingwe** (レセディ＝イングウェ, *Resedi Inguue*) is a fifth year student at Kimberly Magic Academy.

## Background

Lesedi Ingwe descends from humans of another continent, and matriculated to Kimberly Magic Academy in the same year as Alvin Godfrey. She is a founding member of the Kimberly Campus Watch, and steps up to become its new second-in-command after Carlos Whitrow's death.

## Appearance

Ingwe is dark-skinned and wears her hair in short dreadlocks. She modified the outer robe of her student uniform to be sleeveless, and eschews the traditional undershirt in favor of crop top that leaves her midriff bare.

Her athame resembles a kukri.

## Abilities

* **Striking Strength:** Ingwe favors magicombat kickboxing to traditional Sword Arts, and once shattered Khiirgi Albschuch's left arm and ribs with a spin kick.

* **Stamina:**

* **Intelligence:**

* **Range:**

* **Durability:**

* **Speed:**

* **Magic capabilities:**

## Relationships

* **Alvin Godfrey**: Ingwe and Godfrey are classmates and have been friends since their second year at Kimberly if not earlier.

* **Khiirgi Albschuch**: These two have an adversarial relationship. Albschuch has a habit of seducing Ingwe's romantic interests in order to antagonize her.

* **Tullio Rossi**: Sought out Ingwe as a tutor due to her unconventional fighting style, hoping to improve on his own.

## Trivia

* "Lesedi" and "Ingwe" are names from Bantu languages in the real world (Lesedi means "light" in Tswana). While her in-universe ethnicity has not been established more specifically than "from another continent", it is likely that she is from, or descended from the peoples living in, the equivalent of Central or Southern Africa in the world of *Spellblades*.

## Synopsis

### Original Japanese Synopsis

**A MAGICAL BATTLE FANTASY OVER THE SPELLBLADE OF FATE!**

Spring—.

Once again, new students are coming to Kimberly Magic Academy this year, wearing black robes alongside a white cane and cane-sword strapped to their waists. With both pride and his mission in his chest, the young children mages are greeted by a parade of cherry blossoms in full bloom and magical creatures; in the hustle and bustle, Oliver, while interacting with the freshman around him, notices a girl: a samurai girl with a Japanese sword at her waist. The story of the two magic swords is about to begin.

### Official Yen Press Synopsis

**FROM A CLASH OF SWORDS, AN UNSHAKABLE BOND**

Springtime at Kimberly Magic Academy brings a new batch of first-year students, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as they begin their journey to become full-fledged mages. Among these newcomers are Oliver Horn, a studious boy equally skilled with the wand and the blade, and Nanao Hibiya, a strong-willed samurai girl from the distant nation of Yamatsu. The wheels of fate bring these two souls together at Kimberly, where they become both comrades and rivals in equal measure. However, lurking within the academy's halls are countless dangers and dark secrets guaranteed to threaten not only their friendship-but their very lives...

## Chapters

### Prologue

On a certain moonless night, a woman was being attacked by six mages. A giant claw moved out of the blackness to snuff out her life but she easily fended off the claw with the two *athames* in her hands; the second she tried to go on the offensive, a black mist threatened to engulf her and she moved away on instinct, however, she was unable to fully escape and the mist touched her shoulder. Immediately afterwards, a triple-incantation fire spell was launched at her and she easily blocked it but just then, a tumor began growing on her shoulder. Without hesitation, she cut it away before the massive earthly hands of a golem threatened to squash her flat; she easily dealt with that as well. Suddenly, she was locked in place by a mysterious power and assaulted by a giant fist, however, she did not just simply take the hit: she severed the giant arm from its main body. Just when all hope was lost, she was saved by another girl. She thanked the girl but was then stabbed in the back; with her dying breath, she mutters, "Emmy...?" The other girl professes her love for her and swears that no one else will have even a single sliver of her soul.

Frenetic principle

A **frenetic principle** is a term in spellology for seemingly excessive and retaliatory reactions by reality itself against mages who attempt to violate natural laws, as if the mage in question had unknowingly offended some higher power. These laws were established by the dead god and remain in force millennia after its death.

## Examples

* A mage of Daitsch once attempted to create an exact duplicate of himself by projecting half of his proportional existence two feet in front of him. This caused a massive explosion that obliterated him along with much of the surrounding countryside. Sixty years of mage postmortems of the event led to the conclusion that the laws of the world simply did not allow for an object's existence to be duplicated: the lesser existence would inevitably converge with the greater one with such force that both would violently explode. While this experiment was a failure, Theodore McFarlane managed to exploit the frenetic principle discovered to develop a Spellblade, "Creumbra, the self-racing shadow".

* Nobody is allowed to live forever. Humans who live longer than 200 years provoke attacks by reapers, beginning on the 200th birthday and continuing every night, with an extra reaper appearing for every fifty extra years. Reapers also attack in the event of attempts to resurrect the dead.
