### 모토

Pax Christi in Regno Christi ( 그리스도의 왕국 안에서의 그리스도의 평화 )

## **개요**

현실의 바티칸 시국의 확장판 버전. 단, 제2차 바티칸 공의회가 아직 일어나지 않은 시점이기 때문에 굉장히 권위주의적이고 교황 중심주의적인 면을 유지하고 있다. 에큐메니컬 운동도 없던 시절이라 신학적으로 보수적인 스탠스를 취한 상태.

양시칠리아 왕국의 정치적 및 군사적 보호를 받고 있으며, 특히 수도인 로마 근교에 교황과 교황청을 지키기 위해 양시칠리아 육군 사단 하나가 주둔해있다. 이외에도 스페인과 오스트리아의 지원을 받는다.

원래는 1919년 1머전에서 프랑스랑 이탈리아가 패배하고 이탈리아 왕국이 해체, 이탈리아 연방이라는 신질서 속에서 리소르지멘토 이전의 교황령 영토인 마르체, 움브리아, 로마냐 등을 돌려받을 예정이었으나 이탈리아 사회주의 공화국에 의하여 실질적 통치는커녕 순식간에 털리고 쫓겨나서 겨우 로마 및 주변 라치오 지방만 들고 있다. 그마저도 비테르보쪽은 빼앗긴 상황.

이러한 흐름에 따라 교황령은 과거의 영토에 비해 사실상 '로마 시국'으로 불러도 이상하지 않을 수준으로 전락했지만, 그래도 이탈리아 전체 면적이 30만 제곱킬로미터나 되다 보니까 13000제곱킬로미터 이상의 영토와 200만 명 이상의 인구를 유지하는 데에는 성공했다. 대략적으로 부울경보단 좀 더 크고 충남+충북보단 좀 더 작은 수준. 인구 면에서도 실제 1936년 당시 부울경과 충청의 인구(대략 200만 명 전후)랑 비슷한 수준이다.

## **정치**

인게임에서 티베트와 함께 유이하게 신정을 채택하고 있는 국가이다.

게임이 시작하고 얼마 지나지 않아 비오 11세가 3년 일찍 사망하며, 후계자를 정하기 위해 콘클라베가 열리게 된다. 콘클라베에선 4명의 후보 중 한 명을 뽑을 수 있는데, 2명은 정상인 및 개념인이고 다른 2명은 정치조무사 및 똘개이다. 전자의 2명은 교황 및 추기경들의 권한을 줄여 가톨릭이 좀 더 자유로워지는 것을 추구하고, 후자의 2명은 대중을 탄압하고 강력한 신정 국가를 세우기 위해 노오력한다.

1. 스테파노 10세 - 파두아 대주교 엘리아 달라 코스타. 현실에선 이후 피렌체 대주교가 되어 무솔리니와 파시스트들, 빨갱이들에 맞서 유대인을 숨겨주고 보호해주었다. 이러한 점을 따와서 개념인으로 나온다. 손수 빈민들을 구제하기 위해 발벗고 나서며, 난민들을 보호하는 등의 정책을 편다.
2. 요한 23세 - 산 시스토 베키오 교회의 추기경 아쉴 리에나르. 프랑스인이며, 현실에선 기독교 사회주의와 사회적 개혁, 노동조합운동, 프랑스식 노동사제운동 등을 주장했다. 이러한 점 때문에 카라에서도 기독교 사회주의적 개혁들을 교황령에 이식한다. 아마 이탈리아 각국의 기독교 사회주의 지지자들은 요한 23세를 가장 많이 지지할 것으로 보인다.
3. 비오 12세 - 성 요한, 성 바오로 교회의 추기경 에우제니오 파첼리이자, 현실에서도 똑같이 교황 비오 12세가 되었다. 요한 23세의 전임 교황으로, 정치적 능력이 뛰어나 이 시기엔 비오 11세의 비서 역할 겸 교황령 통치를 맡고 있다. 현실에서 나치 부역 논란이 있긴 하지만 보수주의적이고 가톨릭 내의 부패와 싸웠던 면이 더 부각되어 나타나며, 가톨릭의 전통주의 및 권위주의를 상징한다.
4. 율리오 4세 - 밀라노 대주교 알프레도 일데폰소 슈스터. 초기 이탈리아 파시즘을 지지했으나, 안슐루스 이후 파시즘 반대파로 돌아서고 무솔리니 정권의 반가톨릭 정책에 대해 크게 반발했다. 초기의 파시즘 지지 활동을 참고했지 막 십자군을 부활시켜서 생디칼리즘이라는 기독교의 적에 대해 11차 십자군을 선포하고 하는 지랄을 떤다. 근데 이 인물이 당선됐을때 로마 제국이 자주 부활하는 것 같은 느낌이다. 참고로 이 인간이 집권하면 합리주의와 과학을 퍼-지하려 시도하기 때문에, 엔리코 페르미는 왠지 모를 불안감에 그의 고향인 로마에서 탈주해 이탈리아 사회주의 공화국으로 도망쳤다.

## **군사**

### 육군

그 유명한 팔라딘, 교황 근위대를 가지고 있다. 훈련 레벨 5에 경험치도 꽉 차있는 상황. 아마 스위스 근위대도 있겠지? 거기에 앞에서 말했듯이 양시칠리아 왕국 소속의 육군 사단 하나가 로마의 북쪽 교외에 주둔하고 있다.

### 해군

이탈리아 내전 당시 레지나 엘레나급 드레드노트 RN 로마를 챙겼다. 그 외에 특기할 점이라면 잠수함을 13척 보유하고 있다는 점인데, (교황령 입장에서) 신형 잠수함이 무려 '데우스 불트(하느님께서 그것을 바라신다)'라는 개쩌는 이름이 붙어있다는 점이 특색이라면 특색이다. 각각의 함명도 안티오크, 아르수프, 니케아 등등 1차 십자군 당시 격전지였던 도시들의 이름이 붙어있다.

## **외교**

일단은 양시칠리아 왕국의 보호국이긴 하지만, 교황 직속의 전용 외교채널들을 보유하고 있으며 만약 교황령 잘못 건드렸다간 전세계의 가톨릭교도들이 너네 집, 동네, 나라로 쳐들어갈 것이다.
Chapter 3.5-7

## Elenai

(This story covers the events immediately upon arriving at Marlow's tower to the finality of Jake's time with the group)

TL;DR: Alasie, Elenai, Jake, Terrace, Evander, Rilee, Amara, Adri, and Amara's crew go to kill Marlow at his tower. It turns out Marlow isn't there and where Terrace thought he'd be a cult is set up. The Cult of Sanguireus. It is run by Yodosha. They try to fight the mysterious enemies but they turn out to have blood magic and so they lose. Terrace is killed and corrupted and Yodosha makes him choose one of his friends to kill. He chooses Jake and reveals a lot of information that makes Rilee mad and hate him. Ultimately, Elenai saves the group and scares Yodosha off.

The group leaves together covered in disgusting blood. Evander brings them to a hotspring resort to clean off where Jake ends up cheating on Elenai. Evander finds out and tells the others. Jake is left abandoned by the group at the hotspring after a failed attempt to apologize to Elenai.

### Characters

* Elenai Cherra
* Jake Flynn
* Rilee
* Terrace Fidel
* Alasie
* Evander Namely
* Yodosha
* Amara
* Adri

## Trivia

* Alasie calls Elenai "darkstar" due to her powers. Terrace "silver" due to his hair color. And Jake "carver" due to an analogy between him and her carving knife. Jake is broken and bent and needs to be straightened out.
* The chance of anybody surviving Yodosha's ritual is one in a hundred. Terrace surviving was very lucky.
* The "God" Yodosha and his cult worship is Sanguireus. They call themselves the Emancipators.
* Yodosha being present in Marlow's old chambers suggests Marlow fed Felix false information or had since moved to let the Cult operate within his own domain.
* Yodosha claims the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. He takes this to the extreme that the world needs to be strong, and the sacrifices that are made will strengthen humanity for the danger that is to come. He doesn't specify what this danger is.
* The Hotspring they visit is named Hanshou Springs. It is one of the oldest establishments in the entire city and is one of the reasons the original settlement of Kanissa was built.
* Despite the lack of nearly all sexism and orientation discrimination in the culture of Kaentos, co-ed nudity is still taboo as seen in the separation of genders in the Hotspring.
Prelude 0-6

## Elenai

Rain overtakes the forest and the dirt is turned into mud. Jake and Elenai are drenched. Through the storm they spot a barn. Lightning constantly strikes the nearby land. Before making it to the barn, yellow lightning strikes nearby. Where it strikes a white-haired boy stands with a fox on his shoulder. He calls himself Avery Nakigitsune and reveals he knows Elenai while calling her a Demon. But like with her interaction with Alcia she claims she doesn't know the stranger and signals Jake to flee to the barn.

Elenai fights Avery and is pushed to transform for the second time. Red hair and pale skin. Her eyes gloss over and she pulls her blindfold over her eyes. As the fight rages on, it still appears Elenai is outmatched. Her body is pushed to its absolute limit with her hair turning snow white and skin beginning to crack. Two horns sprout from her forehead. She resembles a Demon. Within just a few seconds, she bests Avery who teleports away and moments later she drops unconscious.

An hour later, Jake remains alone at the barn. Somnium appears to taunt him:

> "You and I are a lot alike. We are the harbingers of something greater. The only difference is I will live when it is all over."
>
>

Jake is reminded about the sad truth about Typhallos within him. He had tried to overlook it before. The figure vanishes and Jake sees Elenai on her knees at the entrance of the barn. He goes to help her.

## Belial

(Written on Excerpt Doc)

While working on his plan to coerce Elenai, Belial was stopped by an unexpected guest. Solmenos appeared and took control of the Demonspawn to bend him to his will.

Chapter 2-13

Minori

Minori has just seen Alcia at his doorstep. He takes her in, now knowing it was Soren who left her there. It is revealed to him just through sight that she was violated. He becomes overwhelmed with emotion. Although they have not had much personal shared conversation past the day they met, he feels attached to her and like a protector.

The next hour Rin comes. She had just encountered Soren and Zade. She tells him the news of Zade's betrayal and Minori doesn't react. She leaves him with his emotions.

A few more hours pass. Mizu gathers everyone except for Alice and Yosiron, reporting their departure as well and the apparent news that Alice is Zade's confidant. The **important decision is made** for the Eastland Launch to remain operational. Zade is gone but their mission still stands. This would not be the case if the true intentions of the Kikono were known, but everyone believes them still to be good.

In the meeting, Minori is given the ultimatum to become the head of the Launch due to Mizu and Rin leaving. He denies it and leaves the building which brings Rin to follow him. He breaks down, decisions coming off on him as if it were his fault. She comforts him in a motherly way and guides him back to his cottage. There, they discover Alcia is gone and his state only worsens. But as Rin had already done, she comforts him more and tells him to look around.

A towel is missing and Minori sighs in relief. He believes she is just taking a shower. Rin understands why. She tells him she'll talk with Alcia and she leaves.

세르비아

**이 문서의 대상은 정치조무사입니다.**

**이 문서에서 다루는 대상을 죽여주십시오.**

이 문서에서 다루는 대상은 개인, 단체, 국가, 또는 사상일 수도 있지만 아무튼 세상에 재앙을 가져오는 존나 나쁜 반동노무 새끼들이니 한시바삐 없애야 마땅합니다.

## 세르비아

### 모토

Само слога Србина спасава ( 오직 통합만이 세르비아인을 구한다 )

## **개요**

"0.19 드리나로 전진하라" 패치로 리워크된 세르비아는 제1차 세계대전의 직접적 원흉이다. 세르비아는 동맹국에게 제대로 참교육을 당했으며, 그 결과 베르톨즈 조약을 맺고 오스트리아에 영향권 안에 들어갔으며, 마케도니아와 니시 지방을 빼앗겼고, 작은 보상으로 해안가 없는 몬테네그로를 획득했다.

승전으로 광범위한 영토를 획득해 유고슬라비아로 거듭났던 원래 역사와는 달리 징벌적인 베르톨즈 조약으로 인해 광범위한 영토를 상실하고, 산업경제가 붕괴되었으며 프랑스 혁명으로 힘을 얻은 사회주의자들은 더 강한 영향력을 행사하는 등 정치적 혼란이 발생하였다. 세계대전의 패전을 책임지고 퇴위한 페타르 1세를 대신해 즉위한 새로운 국왕 알렉산다르는 정치적 혼란을 수습하겠다는 이유로 1920년 왕실 독재정을 선언하였고, 이는 잠시간의 안정과 그 이후의 더욱 격렬한 혼란을 야기하였다.

1925년 영국 혁명에 영향을 받은 대중적 시위가 발생했고, 세르비아 군부는 "하얀 손"에 대항하는 비밀결사를 결성, 공화정 혁명을 지지했으며 국왕 알렉산다르는 암살당했고 그의 외아들 페타르(동생들이 태어나기 전에 알렉산다르가 죽었다)는 당숙 파블레 공과 함께 캐나다로 탈출하였으며, 1926년 새로운 헌법과 함께 공화국이 출발하였다

## **정치**

이원집정부제 공화국 세르비아의 대통령은 의회에서 선출되며, 현 대통령 드라고미르 바시치 대통령은 1931년 첫 임기를 시작하였다. 독립급진당을 계승한 공화당(사회자유주의)의 집권이 계속되어 왔으나, 인민급진당(시장자유주의)과 사회노동당(급진사회주의)이 집권의 기회를 노리고 있으며, 공화혁명을 지지했던 비밀결사 콘스피라챠(Konspiracija)는 정부에 영향력을 행사하길 원하고, 왕당파들 또한 재집권의 기회를 노리고 있다.

1936년 10월의 선거를 대비해 검은 월요일과 재무장 선언과 같은 여러 이벤트가 발생하며, 대처함에 따라 집권당을 결정할 수 있다.

공화당(사회자유주의)는 드라고미르 바시치 대통령의 재도전이 목표이며 세르비아의 시스템을 이해하기에 적합한 입문용 루트이다.

인민급진당(시장자유주의, 급진당)은 밀란 스토야디노비치 대통령을 당선시키며 지속적인 우경화가 가능하다. 시장자유주의와 사회보수주의로 민주주의 체제를 유지하는 선에서 멈출수도 있지만, 전쟁중에 강력한 리더쉽을 이유로 독재체제를 구축할 수 있으며, 최종적으로 스토야디노비치가 갈망하는 한명의 강력한 지도자가 다스리는 국가로 변할수 있다. 마지막 단계에서 선택에 따라 스토야디노비치가 강력한 지도자가 되거나, 페타르 2세를 불러올수도 있다.

사회노동당(급진사회주의)이 집권했을때 지도자는 Trufun Kaclerović이다 복잡한 매커니즘을 통해 3번째 혁명을 완수하여 사회주의 국가로 탈바꿈할수 있으며 불가리아를 포함하는 유고슬라비아를 형성할 수 있는 유일한 루트이다. 3번째 혁명을 성공하는데 실패하면 집권당이 사회민주주의로 뒤바뀌는 것도 가능하며, 아예 사회주의자들에게 위협을 느낀 군부가 왕당파로 집결해 전제군주정을 복고할수도 있다.

하얀손(후견전제주의)은 사회주의자들이 집권했을때 페타르 지브코비치의 주도아래 쿠데타 단행하여 페타르 2세를 불러와 왕국을 복고할수 있으며, 집권하면 정당의 이름이 세르비아 급진농민민주당으로 바뀌고 디미트리예 료티치와 연합해 섭정으로서 통치한다. 정치 중점을 어떻게 찍느냐에 따라서 왕당파 내 좌파인 지브코비치, 우파인 료티치를 권력투쟁에서 승리하게 만들수 있으며, 그 사이의 균열을 틈타 페타르 2세는 캐나다에서 보았던 체제를 이식하고 싶어한다.

## **군사**

### 육군

5개 보병사단, 2개 기병사단으로 구성되어있고, 언뜻 보기에는 군사력이 빈약해 보이지만 바시치 대통령의 재무장 선언 이후 열리는중점을 통해 사단을 범핑할 수 있다. 루마니아와 전선 연결을 최우선으로 하고 흑해쪽의 영토를 잘라먹다 보면 불가리아가 항복한다.

### 해군

1머전 시절에는 어느 정도 군함이 있어서 코르푸 섬으로 철수할 때 요긴하게 써먹고 그랬지만, 패전하고 조약을 맺을 때 해안가를 빼앗기면서 동시에 모든 군함을 전리품으로 빼앗겼기 때문에 단 한 척의 군함도 존재하지 않는다. 사실 강제로 내륙국이 돼서 그런 것도 있지만. 세르비아로 해군을 양성하는 건 오헝한테 땅을 빼앗았을 때나 가능한 일이다.

### 공군

그런거 없다. 처음부터 키워야한다.

외교
--

앞에서 말했다시피, 오헝과 불가리아와는 철천지 원수 사이이다. 반면, 베오그라드 조약 가맹국인 그리스, 루마니아와 사이가 좋고, 오 러시아와도 사이가 괜찮다.
Humanity

> "*From the ashes rose the phoenix. From earth sprouted life. From the sky descended purpose. Our people - forever one.*"
> ― Ryoma
>
>

Humanity is the dominant race in Yatan. They reside in every corner of the world in a plethora of conflicting cultures and ideologies. Over thousands of years, Humanity has conquered 3 continents and countless islands. Skin color, culture, and language have developed independently with mutations and evolution enhanced by the chaotic nature of magic.

## Profile

While not the only sentient race in Yatan, Humanity is the only one to thrive in every corner of it. The spread out colonies have adapted to their surroundings at speeds only possible due to the magic in the air. Skin color is not the only trait that's evolved, as throughout the world societies have adopted hair colors, gills, furry ears, tails, claws, and other traits often associated with animals. The natural inclination toward group cohesion in Human Nature has kept these cultures defined as Humanity and not as a different race.

Governments have become increasingly combined under Empires. Where there were once a thousand countries, Four Empires rule a majority of land; the only place for city-states to exist being islands.

### Cultural Appearences (Meta)

In Azahara 'Ard, the people have darker skin tones similar to India, the Middle East, or Egypt.

In Soyaze, the people are the most similar in appearance to Elves, making them East Asian.

In the mainland Continent (Chikyu and Kaentos), and the hundreds of islands around it, the appearances of its denizens range greatly, with its dominant races a mix of European and East Asian. There are a dwindling amount of Native-esque tribes across the Mainland as well

## History

Humanity was once a servile race to the Elves. They were unevolved and in almost every way lesser, until they began to display violence. They brought ruin to Elven society and waged war across the realm. Humanity became the dominant species and have continued to adapt and evolve in their changing world.

Scholars debate with Religion over where Human Life began. The dominant religion states Life was created in the mountains of Chikyu, while Scholars have uncovered fossils in Soyaze tens of thousands of years prior to the claimed event.
Chapter 4-6

## Takeshi

Takeshi had trained nonstop for two trying months. He had bested every warrior that came to practice in the Palace yard. He received a summon from the Empress and they talked about the coming war. She wants him to be on her A-team; she wants him to free the Sprite's and save Atalanta. Without a second thought, Takeshi agreed. He was sent to find Mizu and get him on board.

Mizu was depressed. The weight of his destroyed nation was on his shoulders. Thana was there, too, trying to cheer him up. Together the two cleared his clouded mind and he was reinvigorated with the need to stop Drayon and the Kikono that ordered him.

They returned to the empress. There, alongside General Cicero, they discussed the plan for their siege on Chikyu. Alongside Mizu, Takeshi and Thana will march into the Temple to confront Kyokku. However, Kyokku finds it essential to enlist a warrior with incredible speed to strike Kyokku before she arms herself with a Sprite. Eito Raitonin, Tieken Orredo, Daichi Mahmoud, or Lance the Azure Bladesman. They settle on Lance as his whereabouts are closeby.

Two days later, the three meet with Oliando who talks about the replica ATRAP devices. Alongside Eugen Namely, they have reverse engineered the original and created more devices to capture the Sprites. Oliando explains that Lance came to them to deliver the device of his own free will and believes him to be good of heart.

With everything else in order, the group departs on an airship to Kanissa where rumours of a man in a blue jacket is stopping crimes. The Empress believes it to be Lance.

They arrive in Kanissa and begin to hunt down Lance.

Tarik

Months have passed since the encounter with Scarlet. The temple is attacked in the night. Guards of the Island's local Warlord swarm the premises. Satra promptly rises to defend her home.

Hazu reveals that it was he who caused the guards to attack. He encountered the monster in her basement she is harboring. Satra tells him that she thought she taught him humility and to be humble; the world once cast him out for thinking he was a monster.

Satra ordered Tarik to flee to the basement and save Atalanta. She is slain defending her home and what happens to the rest of the students is unknown. Tarik runs with Hazu and an Officer chasing him down. Tarik finds a scared Atalanta cowering behind a barrel. She struggles as she thinks he is an enemy but he manages to take her through a portal that opens beside them; Satra's dying act.

The two quickly find a nearby village as they become acquainted. Her personality is naive as she is unfamiliar with the world. He is taken back by her animal ears and green hair. Atalanta huddles herself in an uncomfortable manner. Tarik goes into the village alone to buy her a cloak, returning to give it to her less than an hour later. Atalanta reveals to him that she is a Sprite and she hates how she looks. She wants to be human.

They barely afford to pay for a night's stay at a Hotel. When Tarik returns to the room he finds it torn but with claw marks across the wallpaper and bed. It is her first time seeing either of those things.

### May 7th, 334

The next morning they go to the markets and encounter a Jeweler. Tarik barters and spends the last of his money on a gem for Atalanta. The Jeweler sees something unusual under her hood and screams, calling her a Yokai. Her hood comes off and they swiftly flee. Guards chase them and they are eventually detained by a hooded soldier. He takes the hood off, revealing himself. The Man with the Scarlet hair

Scarlet easily bests Tarik. Azure intervenes to stop the fight, saving Tarik's life. Tarik pleads to be taken as long as they don't hurt Atalanta. He is naive.

After making it to a warehouse, Tarik watches as they lock her up in a mysterious device that appears to be killing her. He calls upon his magic to shatter the glass cage with shards of ice. It explodes. Azure rises from the rubble and hands Lambda to Tarik within an ATRAP device.

Tarik

The scene opens on a boat. Tarik has just become conscious again after passing out. He feels a sense of joy when realizing he successfully made it to a boat. He encounters the sailor who patched up his hand to save his life. Tarik is happy to hear from the Sailor that he is taking him to Shioland as quickly as possible due to being told about the Sprite's.

### May 16th

Tarik is warmed that the stranger helped him with the kindness of his heart. But they depart when they reach Shioland and Tarik travels through the foreign city to meet with the President of the Isles. He enters the Official building and tells the secretary that it's urgent and about the Sprites.

She rushes an appointment with him. Tarik is escorted upstairs and he overhears a conversation between Mizu Hidora and Eito Raitonon. Eito's arm has just been replaced after losing it in a fight to Tieken Orredo. The first mention of The Launch is also given, mentioning Zade Asphian running it and that Hyenonn Kaze does not seem inclined to attend.

After his own conversation to catch the President up on the account of the Sprites, he is offered the same treatment Eito recieved for his arm. Tarik agrees and his hand is replaced with a mana-infused steel prosthesis.

### May 17th

## Elenai

Back in the physical world, Jake and Belial prepare to enter Elenai's mind. Elwood promises Belial to return him his eyes after. He learns it has been 18 days, but had only felt like 3. Time moved differently in the Underworld.

They enter Elenai's mind and Belial shows Jake around. Their objective is to find Elenai's mental block and free her from her comatose. Jake relives many memories, including: the day they left the vanguard while still pursuing Xavier, Elenai hiking up a mountain with her father, and Elwood bringing her before Solmenos to erase her memories. He even saw as Typhallos welcomed Elenai and cast Elwood out, banishing him from their home.

Jake acted fast to tear apart the bear but was stopped by Belial. They entered a fist fight over the bear until finally Jake got the upper hand and ripped its head off. Suddenly, it all stopped, and he woke up in his real body again.

## Mikael

Mikael and Tiemoko arrive in The Red City with Tieken. They are sent on their own and Tiemoko brings them to a wine cellar. There, she tells him what she has been thinking. She planned on getting him arrested in The Red City to prove that Tieken wouldn't go through the hassle of getting him out. To prove that he didn't love him, and that he only loved her.

Cleary, Tiemoko wasn't able to go through with it. They enjoy themselves drinking wine.

## Takeshi

Takeshi joins Thana, Lance, and Mizu to meet with the Empress about his arrival. Over the next few hours, she catches Lance up with the plan and his part in it. On their way out, The Empress requests Takeshi to stay alone. He does and is confronted with an alternate part to play in the war. Tieken enters the room and The Empress reveals Takeshi will have to work behind Mizu's back and alongside Tieken. Takeshi agrees.

Later in the night, Takeshi is finally dismissed. Tieken meets him and reveals a lot. He knows that Takeshi had lambda, he knew almost everything. And worst of all, he admits that when they win the war, he will fight Takeshi for Lambda.

Five days later, Takeshi is out in the Swordcourt sparring with Thana. She calls out the Royal Guards for refusing to spar with him because they are afraid of losing. She claims that attitude is not welcome in war and is cowardice.

When they were making their leave, they were confronted by Tieken Orredo and his surrogate son Mikael. Tieken insisted that Takeshi and Mikael spar, because he wants to see Takeshi grow and be powerful for their final battle. It is then that Takeshi realizes Tieken's goal is to get the Sprite's and plans to fight Takeshi for them in the end. Takeshi denies, opting to leave with Thana.

They meet up with Mizu, then Lance, and enjoy a nice meal.

Gamma

Excerpt

Fourth excerpt of five.

Eito and the heavily injured Karissu have left the scene where Kyokku had killed their friend and her lover, Ryuto. Luckily Ryuto had given them his 1/3 fragment of the Sprite so she did not get anything (remember: Andrea had stolen a fragment for Tieken. so they only have 2 now). Now, the duo go to the only place they can. Someone Eito hasn't seen in many, many years. Eito's old lover Nyxeris. She is relatively close and they reach her. She welcomes them in and has a chat with Eito in private. They makeup but Eito tells her he can't be with her because of his duties. She is heartbroken but doesn't lash out.

## Minori

The following morning Minori wakes up in the cottage he was directed to sleep in by Zade. He leaves and finds Zade and Mizu discussing together. He learns that Mizu plans to stay to protect the village from possible Eritomoru attacks and urges Minori to do the same. Minori suggests he delivers the news to Rin.

Minori approaches Rin's cottage and a half-naked Zeta answers (Rin's Protector). Rin is at breakfast, she tells him, so he quickly approaches the dining halls. The two enjoy breakfast together and decide to follow Mizu's plan to stay in the Launch. As the sun reaches noon a speech is held to inform the public about their extended stay but opt out of telling them of the threat. Journalists leave the Launch like mayflies to spread the news across Yatan.

Hours later Zade invites the officials to a feast to get to know each other better if they are to be working with one another so closely. Mizu informs them that he has sent his soldiers home so he may get the Shio Navy to protect the village. Until then, they will be staying.

## Trivia

* From the moment the Eritomoru attacked the caravan Minori had felt on guard. It did not make sense the Eritomoru would attack now for the first time in years.
* After the meeting, Alcia spoke with Soren for the first time. He asked her about her dark skin.
Chapter 3-7

Soren

(Part 4)

Kasuke's public execution revealed the intentions of the Eritomoru's mobilization. The Eritomoru's forces are depleted, leaving them wide open to a fatal blow. With their goal in sight the siblings accompanied by Soren and Vexxis set out to end the organization and to confront their father. At the place of the portal beneath the Temple they are ambushed by Zade who speaks wistfully toward them.

Combat breaks out between the old man and the group that has long sought after him. He rants about Drayon's goal to get Soren's eye and he intends to prevent it from ever happening by slaying Soren. His loyalties lie with the Kikono, not the Eritomoru. In his old age Zade proves to be one of the strongest beings in Yatan; only brought down by Soren reaching his full power. Zade fatally wounds the boy and tells him he is not his son. Family is by blood. After he flees from exhaustion Soren tells Alcia to destroy his eye in his dying breath.

The strongest member of the Eritomoru is out of the way: all that is left is to end the lives of those inside the Eritomoru Headquarters. It took hours to scour the indoor landscape and assassinate the criminals. Kaylen's count by the end leaves eight members - including Zade - they are unable to locate.

Then they return to their Inn to devise a final plan.

## Trivia

* Zade's reveal of his allegiance against Drayon and toward the Kikono leads us to believe he thinks Drayon is apart of the Eritomoru and nothing more. This shows his ignorance about the grand scheme of things.
* Soren was the last living member of the Fukusei clan and the last person besides Drayon with the Kagami eye, making him Drayon's only target. Later, Minori develops it after an interaction with Delta.
Chapter 3.5-6

Elenai

It was January 7th. The day the group intended to ambush and kill Marlow. They woke up to a hearty breakfast prepared by Alasie before departing to Sortech.

They reached the doors of the glorious factory that then swung open to present the secretary desk. Eugen's son, Evander, greeted them with a suave first impression and led them into the loud, working factory beyond the beautiful lobby. Machines roared and workers paced around with purpose in a defeating work environment.

Evander brought the group to his father Eugen who happily introduced himself. The older man was brutally polite and welcoming and struck them all as an excellent father figure. All almost went sour when Elenai revealed she and Alasie are from Mushando. Against everyone's expectations, Eugen took the news well, furthermore admitting sympathy for Alasie that she was ashamed to say where she is from. The older gentleman shifted their attention to weaponry he had lined up on display.

As the hours passed it became Alasie and Jake who reveled in the excitement of the weapons the most. Meanwhile, Rilee joined Elenai to the lobby room to get away from it all. Evander went with them to enlighten his guests with tea prepared specifically by him. By the time he had returned with a teapot in hand, Jake had already been in the lobby. Discussion is brief due to Eugen's arrival as well. He caught everyone up on the same page and in an unexpected rude manner poked fun at his son's hobby for cooking. Rilee was taken aback by the fatherly man's action.

They had set off to go and met outside the factory with an associate of Eugen's named Amara. She was an elite member of his bodyguard company and would be joining them to ensure the mission's success. Amara shone her colors and her outgoing personality which made her an immediate friend of Jake's and became his target of conversation for the entire walk to Marlow's tower.

Chapter 1-9

## Minori

The scene opens up within Minori's office room where he sits alone surrounded by papers and investigative boards. The information and bold letters reveal that he is deep in his search for Alcia still to this day. Five months have passed since he first encountered her. Emperor Kasuke enters the room carrying a silver platter with tea. He is the Emperor but still holds a friendly relationship with Minori.

Their relationship is shown through friendly banter and Kasuke poking fun at Minori's obsessive behavior. He then shares the news that was brought to him all the way from Soyaze. A large windstorm raged through many towns and was traced to an explosion. It is unlike anything that has been reported in his entire time as Emperor. He tells him it is likely the Aera. Minori agrees and the Emperor sends him out on a mission to learn more.

### October 27th

Within three days Minori arrives at the scene of the explosion. The forest is scorched and the water level of the lake is lowered by several meters. Unbeknownst to him, this is the wreckage created by Kenlow's and Elwood's fight. After several hours investigating he encounters a Yokai. He attempts to question it, but the creature ignores him and hands him a flowerpot. The flowerpot is a Spirit Relic and upon holding it transports him to the Spirit World.

The Yokai points to a floating figure above the lake. She calls it an Aera and Minori recognizes it must be one of the Three. The Yokai carries on, stating he is stuck between two worlds and is in suffering. Minori knows this must be connected to Alcia, who was serving under Elwood; one of the Three Aera.

Tarik

The two arrive on a boat to the docks of a nearby island. They have successfully fleed the Island he once called home. After finding a place to stay that inexplicably allowed them to stay for free, it is revealed that they are run by a criminal mob. They are invited to breakfast the following morning.

Before they rest for the night, Atalanta warns Tarik that another Sprite, Upsilon, is hunting her down. His mental magic is beyond her ability to protect herself.

### May 13th, 334

During breakfast, they are introduced to the mob's boss. Mister S. He is kind and serious while speaking about a way for them to pay him back. But he doesn't finish. He commits suicide at the table, and one after the other the rest of the 10 people at the table do the same. Tarik is horrified.

Mister S slowly sits back up and stands, speaking despite a knife through his heart. He claims to be Upsilon. Upsilon then enters Tarik's body to control him and pushes Atalanta into the wall, laughing down to her and making her scared of Tarik's face. He possesses her next. and in a burst of energy blasts through the roof.

Tarik tries to save Atalanta but fails, losing his hand to Upsilon in the process. Upsilon bursts through the roof of the building in an ethereal form. Tarik rushes outside relentlessly to chase the magic in the direction he saw it move in the sky. Westward toward the Mainland of Kaentos and Chikyu.

His hand is causing him to bleed out and he barely makes it to the docks, trying to get on a boat while the workers urge him to get medical care. He passes out. Failing... he can't save Atalanta passed out...

Chapter 1-3

Tarik

The scene opens on an orphanage where two boys spar. **Tarik** is with his best friend, Hazu, in the courtyard after a training session with their **Master Satra** and the other students. They are taught and trained by her in the ways of discipline and magic. All the students have cleared the couryard except Hazu and Tarik.

Their sparring is interrupted by an unannounced guest. They greet him at the arch of Satra's courtyard. He is donned in red and has scarlet hair. He orders them and demands to see the Master. Hazu asks what for but the man refuses to say. Hazu gets defensive but before anything escalates the Master enters the scene. She tells the man to begone and her attitude reveals the fact that she has met him before.

Satra reveals to her students that the man is Scarlet of the Bladesmen. She doesn't reveal to them, however, that he has come knowing she houses the Lambda Sprite. Scarlet has used the ATRAP device to hunt down Atalanta that currently resides in her basement. Within a second, Satra knocks him down and sends him hurtling down the long steps of the Temple. He retreats promptly. His face is etched into Tarik's memory: the man with Scarlet hair.

Sprite Peak

The Sprite Peak is the second tallest peak in Yatan. It resides in Southern Soyaze surrounded by orange forests existing in an eternal fall. Despite its high altitude, the peak of the mountain has no snow and its air is as thick as it is at sea level.

The Mountain gets its name from an event long ago. When Aera still roamed Yatan, The Alpha Sprite was created by Achelous. On the peak of the mountain, the Goddess Gaia fractured the beast into several pieces which scattered themselves across the world.

The duo are still within the barn and tensions are high. Jake lashes out at Elenai in anger and upon touching her she floods his arm with dark energy. Before it escalates further Typhallos manifests in a body for the first time to yell at them both. He deems them childish. They are here because of a common task, not because they are friends. Jake lashes out at him too, telling him that he knows he will die when the heralding is complete.

Elwood attacks while Typhallos is exposed. He appears through a portal in the back of the room and absorbs Typhallos into an Artifact gauntlet. He absorbs the rest of Typhallos from Jake and takes the boy as a prisoner.

## Kenlow

It has been several days since Jake was captured. He finally locates Elenai to confront her, mentioning how they have been hard to track ever since they left his campsite. He attempts to talk with Elenai but she reveals her worry about Typhallos being in the hands of Elwood. She also reveals to Kenlow that she was attacked by Avery, and he tells her that it is his son. Kenlow orders her to stay within the barn as he goes to search for Elwood on his own. With the power of Typhallos, he is a danger to the world now.

### October 14th, 334

Kenlow and Elwood face off. Kenlow appears to be no match for Elwood's combined power which results in him being knocked to the bottom of a lake. Floating in the sky, Elwood releases an ionic beam down toward him which incinerates a large portion of the water and leaves the nearby land scarred. The attack proves to great for Elwood to handle and the gauntlet explodes with the explosion of an atomic bomb above the lake, knocking Elwood to the ground in a crater. Typhallos's soul is freed from the gauntlet, and as it floats in the sky it enters into the Spirit World.

Kenlow brings the unconscious Elwood his Dojo to recover. When Elwood finally wakes up he sees Kenlow bringing him a meal. The brothers talk and Elwood admits his mistake. The two then share a meal together like brothers sitting on the side of the bed.

Daera

The **Daera**, also called **Demons** or **Fallen Aera**, were once Aera before committing a crime so heinous that their brethren imprisoned them in the Underworld. While Daera is a title given to the prisoners, Demon is the race all Daera become when living in the Underworld for long enough. They are twisted by the Evil energies for millennia and morphed into hideous creatures. The imprisoned "Demon Lords" harness the Underworlds magic to enthrall lost souls into servile Hordes which are utilized to wage war on one another for supremacy.

## Profile

The Daera were cursed to live for eternity in their prison. Their souls are barred from moving on and will always reincarnate in the depths of the Underworld, never to know peace. They utilize the darkest of magics to accomplish what they want, knowing that their existence is doomed to drag on forever and to not fear the repercussions. This has led to their bodies becoming grotesque abominations in every unique way possible.

The Dark Magic that the Daera use is also used to corrupt wandering souls into Demons. The black magic grants the souls a body just as hideous as the Daera's. The newly-birthed Demons have the mind akin to a babies, and their will is easily dominated by the Daera they serve. The hordes are used to wage war onto one another which has created an abstract social hierarchy based on the Daera's strengths. Some Demons are smart enough to change allegiances and others have been known to turn on their owner.

## Members

### Greater Daera

* Izanagi
* Zagreus

## History

Izanagi was the first to be cast out from Aera society and to be given the name of Daera. He escaped his bonds and waged war on his kin, only to be imprisoned in a place worse than the Underworld.

Thousands of years later, Zagreus led the combined Hordes of Demons to breach the Underworld and storm Yatan. This became known as **The** **First Cataclysm**.

Empress's team reunites with Mikael and detain Roah and the Royal Guards. Announce council is in custody and they confess Guan Yu escaped into the Spirit World.

An Onymoji requested by the Empress arrives. It is said that the Empress will go into the Spirit world to hunt down Guan. She goes in. An hour passes. Rin talks with the Onymoji who shares her little words. It is revealed the Empress is in danger and Rin demands to go in too.

Days later, Rin confronts Mikael and thanks him for the help. She reveals her council Zeta wants him detained as he is believed to have murdered the Empress, but she believes she saw it in his eyes that he is telling the truth. Rin pries further after a quiet mourning, asking if the "rumors are true." Mikael reveals it is in fact, in his opinion, that Tiemoko is Rin's half-sister.

Mikael then goes to gloat with Tiemoko who is in turn upset that he's steal her kill. She begins to suspect he didn't truly kill her, but he shrugs it off.
