This chapter is designed to provide context and insights into the world, serving as a reference for moments when you may need clarity without combing through earlier chapters for forgotten details. While everything here will eventually unfold throughout the main story, it does contain mild spoilers.

» Aurora's Blessing

Humanity did not always possess magic. The current timeline of the story is set in the year 998 AA (After Aurora's Blessing). Nearly a millennium ago, Aurora, an elf, descended from the heavens and bestowed the gift of magic upon humanity.

» The War of Mortal Dawn

Aurora's blessing, however, came with unintended consequences. A small faction of humans began abusing magic, unleashing a specific group of demons into the world. This catastrophic event led to The War of Mortal Dawn, a desperate struggle in which humanity had to fight to protect itself and seal away these malevolent beings.

» Worldbuilding

The known world consists of nine countries spread across the continent and beyond. Six of these countries are located in the southern half of the continent, where the story begins in the Kingdom of Valoria.

To the east of Valoria lie:

• Sylvaria

• The Ashen Wasteland

• Draugarn

To the west are:

• The Sakurai Dynasty

• Enchantria

Three additional regions lie outside this southern cluster. At the center of the world, surrounded by a vast sea, stands Mythandor, a colossal tree with floating islands orbiting its crown.

In the northern reaches of the world, two great nations dominate:

• To the northwest: The Kingdom of Baldursheim

• To the northeast: Niveria
