Kingdom of Magic, Afilia

Kingdom of Magic, Afilia (アフィリア魔法王国, *Afiria Mahou Oukoku*) is a name of a kingdom that once existed in Europe during the Middle Ages. The kingdom is home to mages known as the Afilians, accompanied by their magical pets known as Familiars. The kingdom was ruled by King Marbert III, and an unnamed crown prince, while two guardian beasts known as Draco Volans and Draco Piscis protected the kingdom from outside threat, as well as serving as the Afilians' deities. Afilia was known for their vast knowledge of magic and alchemy, and their Royal Academy (王立アフィリア魔法学院, *Ouritsu Afiria Mahou Gakuin*) serves as the source of knowledge for young and aspiring mages and wizards alike. The academy's faculty staff, Afilia Saga also serves as the kingdom's magic council. They fought bravely against external threats such as the Shadow Empire Faust and the Prizewell Clan's vampire army, banishing them out one by one with the power of their elemental magic.

Unfortunately, the kingdom was destroyed by a dark being known as the Revenant. The Afilia Saga members fought bravely against it, but it resulted in both the Revenant's destruction and also the kingdom's destruction. They sacrificed their lives to protect the kingdom, and perished in the explosion alongside the king, their royal family, the two guardian beasts, the rest of the mages and the citizens of the kingdom. The kingdom became naught and rubble, but the souls of the Afilia Saga members fused with their Familiars, and what was formerly King Marbert III himself became the Soulstone, the source of magic for the Familiars who carry the legacy of the Saga themselves, now roaming in the peaceful Sunshine City.
