~ About five hundred years ago ~
Centuries ago, the Reach had a mighty rival in the Eastern Continent. This rival was the Kingdom of Miyagi. Both kingdoms were constantly at war against each other. The reason for this constant conflict was that the rulers of The Reach wanted to be known as the ones that dominated all the land in the Eastern Continent. But Miyagi's king was not willing to allow that.
The King of Miyagi was known as a wise and just man. His name was Zeldrys the III. Ever since he was a young boy, he was fascinated with katana blades. In Miyagi, all men were trained to wield katanas in the way of the samurai. It was an ancient tradition that could be traced back for generations. Zeldrys didn't only like katanas… he enjoyed all sorts of swords. His main hobby was collecting them, and he had quite the collection indeed.
