Azure Empire
"The Azure Empire"
In a world torn by an ancient feud between humans and demons, two powerful nations—the expansive Raizen Empire of humans and the smaller, fierce DarkVeil Kingdom of demons—have clashed over land, resources, and supremacy for centuries. This relentless war culminated in the Era of the Rising Sun (330 AD) when Sol Raizen, a legendary human warrior, defeated the formidable Demon King Derous. Choosing unity over annihilation, Sol established a groundbreaking peace, merging the warring realms into a single, grand nation called the Azure Empire. As its first ruler, he implemented revolutionary laws to uphold equality among humans, demons, and soon, elves.
Now, over a thousand years later, in the Era of Fornix (1357 AD), the Azure Empire stands as a symbol of unity, ruled by Sol’s descendant, King Dezaral Raizen, who has held the throne for over 30 years. Peace endures between humans, demons, and elves, but tensions simmer beneath the surface. Magic infuses daily life, with holy spells wielded by humans, dark magic by demons, and elves adept in both. Yet as the king grows older, mysterious forces and old grudges threaten to tear apart this fragile harmony. Shadows from the past stir once more, and whispers of rebellion echo from the DarkVeil and beyond.
Will the Azure Empire survive the hidden trials facing it? Or will history’s long-buried conflicts once again plunge the world into war? The story unfolds as ancient secrets are uncovered, loyalties are tested, and heroes are forged.
