Mulciber Saga

**Mulciber Saga** is a series of RPG video games in Remnant notable for combining traditional RPG elements with strategy and hack 'n' slash, as well as having a connected and overarching narrative across games in the series. It is also apparently Zeke Ibanez's favourite video games in particular, not only due his enjoyment of the games' stories, but also their soundtracks as well.

## **Overview**

The *Mulciber Saga* games takes place in a world called Mundis, and follow a hero that is a reincarnation of their ancestor, who has inherited the powers of phoenix, alongside the ability to wield a legendary and ancient sword through their bloodline called Mulciber, as the embark on a quest to acquire the eponymous blade and save their world, with the help of a sorceress who also reincarnates alongside them, as well as whatever allies join them on the way.

There are currently five main games, one spinoff game, and a rumored sixth main game in the series, which are as follows:

* Mulciber Saga: Fenix Chronicles
* Mulciber Saga II: The Legend of Blazon
* Mulciber Saga III: The Legend of Blazon - Draconian Rebellion
* Mulciber Saga IV: The Legend of Blazon - War of Liberation
* Mulciber Saga V: The Legend of Blazon - The Legions of Chaos
* Mulciber Saga: Einherjer (mobile spinoff)
* Mulciber Saga VI (rumored, title unknown)

During the series' early days, the games had a rather niche, cult following, but then suddenly grew to mild popularity after the release of *The Legions of Chaos*, due to being more beginner friendly, having a higher availability (as older games had become harder to find, as well as more expensive to buy used, and were on obsolete systems), having more effort put into marketing by the publishers, and not requiring prior knowledge of the plot of previous games to fully enjoy it. It was also originally intended to be the last game in the series, acting as a sort of "last hurrah" or perhaps even a final send-off of the series, as it's popularity wasn't anticipated by the game's developers. The unexpected popularity of *The Legions of Chaos* has since sparked gossip over a possibility of a new game being made, as even the developers expressing their intentions of possibly making a new game only further adding to the rumors.

Currently, developer focus and support appears to be on the mobile spinoff *Mulciber Saga: Einherjer*, which has had the core gameplay and mechanics simplified, as well as containing a gacha system. This mobile spinoff was made for potential newcomers and long-time fans alike, intended to spark further interest in the series.

## **Significance**

Despite supposedly being regarded as "fiction", two of its protagonists have managed to manifest on Remnant as Unknowns, namely Blazon and Fenix, the hosts of which being Zeke and Ashelia Ibanez, repectively. Another character, named Nozalb, has also appeared, and has subsequently possessed Zander Nil. It is possible that other characters from *Mulciber Saga*, whether they are heroes or villains, may be in Remnant as well, but that remains to be seen.

How they came into being on Remnant in the first place is another matter entirely, one that has yet to be revealed, or perhaps may never be. One prevailing theory is that Zeke had summoned them by accident with his Semblance, as a result of a former music project that he had prior to the events of ORGN, which was a solo band project called Mulciber, where he had wrote and performed *Mulciber Saga* inspired music under at the time.

## Trivia

* Mulciber Saga (the video game series within Remnant) appears to be a spoof of the Fire Emblem series, due to its overall concept, history, and aesthetics being similar.
	+ However, it is actually metacontextually based on a series made by one of ORGN's co-writers, inserted as a shoutout to it.
	+ This also technically makes it a crossover between the two series, due to the nature and extent of its inclusion within ORGN, despite not being considered as such by ORGN's writers.
	+ Mulciber Saga gets an official crossover in ORGN: The Next, however.
* Zeke's solo band project Mulciber, is most likely a nod to the band Grimleal, which also happens to be formed by Mulciber Saga's creator.
