Celestial Palace

Celestial Palace

As the number of heroes appearing in the **Land of Dawn** grows, heroes of different races and faiths have begun seeking strong partners with whom to form allegiances, giving rise to two of the most powerful partnerships ever seen:

From the Human kingdom comes  Tigreal, and from the land of the Elves,  Estes, establishing the main force of the Dawn Zenith. Under the king’s leadership, they hope to soothe the scars of this war-torn land and bring order to the **Land of Dawn**. At the opposite end of the spectrum comes  Alice, from the world of demons, and  Balmond, born of the orcs of the dark abyss.

Conflict between the two factions is constantly intensifying, as epic battles in the western desert place a heavier strain on the land with every passing day. In order to avoid rendering the Land of Dawn to a state of irreparable damage, the two sides have opened the gates to the Celestial Palace, under the guidance of a city of scholars who have remained neutral throughout the conflict. This magnificent city floating in the skies above the Land of Dawn was once home to the gods, and will now serve as an arena for the world’s heroes to write a new legend.

## Lore

The **Celestial Palace**, Legend has it that this city floating above the skies of the **Land of Dawn** was once home of the gods, was once a busting city patrolled by innumerable Nazar guardians. Any demon who dared approach the city would be overwhelmed by their peerless flying speed and bound by their fearsome lightning whips which would strip their victims of all magical abilities. No demon could escape when pursued by these divine warriors, and thus perpetual peace was maintained in the **Celestial Palace**. As their leader,  Kaja was able to refine the power of lightning into pure energy to control as he so desired, inflicting catastrophic damage to all enemies who faced him, and was charged with directly protecting the ruler of the city, It is also said that this mysterious place holds the key to ruling the world. Eons ago, after the ruler completed the creation of the city's guardians and departed, the city gradually fell into a state of ruin., the ruler of the celestial place used the technological secrets of the  ancients to create  Uranus. And commanded his creation to guard the city and wait for the emergence of a new ruler.

When scholars from the **Land Of Dawn** found and opened the gates to the **Celestial Palace**, the battle between the **Dawn Zenith** and the **Dark Abyss** quickly spread throughout the realm, disrupting the quietude of the ancient city. The two camps sought to occupy the Celestial Palace as a symbol of victory, their heroes unleashing the full extent of their power, and finally reaching an impasse. As the number of heroes appearing in the **Land Of Dawn** grows, heroes of different races and faiths have begun seeking strong partners with whom to form allegiances, giving rise to two of the most powerful partnerships ever seen: From the Human kingdom comes  Tigreal and  Natalia, and from the land of the Elves,  Estes, establishing the main force of the Dawn Zenith. Under the king’s leadership, they hope to soothe the scars of this war-torn land and bring order to the **Land Of Dawn**. At the opposite end of the spectrum comes  Alice,  Selena, from the Dark Abyss, and  Balmond, From the Blood Axe Orcs. Conflict between the two factions is constantly intensifying, as epic battles in the western desert place a heavier strain on the land with every passing day. In order to avoid rendering the Land Of Dawn to a state of irreparable damage, the two sides have opened the gates to the Celestial Palace, under the guidance of a city of scholars who have remained neutral throughout the conflict.

This magnificent city floating in the skies above the Land Of Dawn was once home to the gods, and will now serve as an arena for the world’s heroes to write a new legend.
But the massive energy released throughout incessant battles eventually awakened the ancient city's defense system, and was converted directly into lighting power which fed and reawakened  Uranus, who lay dormant in depths of the **Celestial Palace**. Leave now, intruders! He roared upon awakening, and then charged to the battlefield, fueled by lightning, aether, and is now ready to fulfill his destiny. His goal to expel these savage intruders disturbing the tranquility of the **Celestial Palace**. When Uranus was activated, the ruler of the Celestial Palace handed down new orders to the Nazar to drive the evil demons from the city and rebuild the **Celestial Palace** in anticipation of the master's return.

 Argus and  Rafaela at the time were heavenly angels that descended into the land of dawn at the same time. One responsible for
eradicating suffering -  Rafaela is an angel capable of miraculously healing anything. It is said that when she appears, all pain suddenly vanishes, all wounds instantly heal, and all evil disperses like rain clouds when the sun comes out. The other responsible for eradicating evil -  Argus.

But as  Argus went through countless battles, he soon became obsessed with the pursuit of power. One time during a battle he heard the call of an ancient being, Argus soon lost control of his ambitions and became corrupted. He was able to break the seal of the ancient being to summon forth a blazing demonic blade. By sacrificing his own life to the blade was able to gain even more power. Now Argus wanders the world, seeking conflict and war so that he can consume more lives with his blade. The Lord of Light may be the once ruler of the **Celestial Palace**.
