One hundred and eighty-seven years have passed since the end of the great war against the demons.
From that victory, the Kingdom of Greistacia was born, founded by Asteron Vyn Greistacia. The kingdom is now ruled by King Graham Vyn Greistacia, a wise and just sovereign beloved by his people. Under his reign, the realm has enjoyed a long era of peace.
Yet, peace is often merely a brief respite before something far greater arrives.
In the final days of his life, an elderly priest received a vision no mortal was meant to see.
He saw a world torn asunder by war.
The demons rose once again, and the light stood to oppose them.
But the vision did not end there.
Between the two, something else emerged, something born neither of the war, nor the demons, nor the light.
A darkness older than them both.
It did not come to conquer.
It did not come to save.
In its presence, Kindness and Cruelty were merely two sides of the same thing, something destined to vanish when the time came.
And when the fragment that had taken form finally awakened, the world would no longer stand on the brink of war.
Rather, it would stand on the brink of the end of everything that ever was.
