He was a rare warrior who dived into solo combat with the Demon General Geldam in the suburbs of Raiden. Beld emerged victorious after a brilliant display of combat skill. After the battle, both the cities of Muskett and Harkane were released by the demons who ruled them. The tales of Beld’s heroism were tremendous, in the battle with the demon king in the "Deepest Labyrinth" he took the demon king's sword "Soul Crusher" and defeated the Demon King with it. Up until the Demon War, Beld had partnered with the "Sage of the Wilderness", Wort. However, he would soon meet Flaus and Warrior Priestess of Pharis who would hire his services. The two developed a romantic relationship but Flaus tragically sacrificed herself to defeat the Demon King. After the Demon War, he returned to his hometown of the dark isle of Marmo. There he united the barbarian tribes and Dark Elves of Darkwood and called himself the Dark Emperor. In the 500th year of the New Kingdom Calendar, Beld unified the entire island and the Marmo Empire was established. A decade later, he would begin his invasion of the mainland of Lodoss, starting with conquering the Kingdom of Kanon. Beld had a vision of unifying the entire island of Lodoss by force. The war concluded in a decisive duel between the Dark Emperor and the White King of Valis, Fahn. Though Beld was victorious, in part due to Soul Crusher keeping him eternally youthful, he was killed in action by King Kashue of Flaim. Thus, his ambitions were destroyed half way completed.

There is little known of the Merfolk race that inhabit the isle and its surrounding waters. This is because they rarely come into contact with humans. But it is said that they have a tribal culture in harmony with nature, similar to the Elves, and prey on violent sharks and other dangerous sea creatures.

The Drifting King was on the edge of despair as his people had travelled far and had exhausted their provisions. The king established a pact with the God Beast King Barbas. In exchange for the kings body, his fleet would be allowed to make landing and inhabit the region under the rule of the Barbas. Now three hundred years later, after a long spiritual conflict of two souls competing for control of one vessel, Barbas has been revived as the God King. The Dark Elf Sheru, an aid of the Drifting King, has stolen the Chaos Ring, the key to Barbas’ resurrection and aims to overthrow the God King and save the soul of the Drifting King…

Novice

**Novice** prospers as the second largest city in the Kingdom of Alania. Northeast of the city are the White Dragon Mountains, with the Forest of No Return to the southeast, and the Desert of Storm and Fire to the west. Due to these natural barriers, the city has rarely been invaded in its long history. Partly because of this, Novice is an open city with no walls. The cityscape heads from the central square with gates on all sides, spreading radially with the High Street as its main line. All the streets are paved with cobblestones and freshwater. A sewage system is maintained in the city centre. Therefore, the city is beautiful and clean, although it is not quite as grandiose as Alan. Livestock farming is popular around **Novice**. In addition, many traders take advantage of the highway. The wealth acquired by these traders has also become a financial resource that supports the prosperity of the city. The lordship of the city is traditionally assigned to one of the royal family, usually the king’s younger brother, who is given the title of Duke of Novice. However, at the beginning of the War of Heroes, the younger brother of King Kadomos VII named Raster, didn’t receive the honour. Instead, Amonson, the former duke’s son, was granted the title of Count of Novice. The Duke of Novice (or Count) has over 100 knights directly under their command. Count Amonson of Novice utilised these knights when he contested the throne, and threw the country into civil war.
