Magic—or, in its purest form, Mana—is a supernatural energy that flows through every living creature in this world. Clever and ambitious, humans quickly learned to harness this power to perform feats that defy nature, feats now known simply as Magic.
All of humanity resides on a single, enormous continent called the Great Land, spanning more than half of the Earth's diameter. Within this vast expanse, humans are divided into four massive nations, aligned with the cardinal directions, alongside smaller territories scattered between and around them.
For centuries, the four Great Kingdoms waged a brutal war for control over these smaller lands—and for supremacy over one another. The conflict lasted five hundred years, filled with endless bloodshed and despair, until the rise of the South-Land Monarchs: the most formidable squad of mage soldiers ever known.
With their arrival, the war finally came to an end, and the Great Land was left in a fragile state of peace—a peace that, though celebrated, carried whispers of old grudges and the ever-present shadow of what had been fought for and lost.
