It is the year 1461 in the wondrous world known as Valerion, where humans have prospered greatly in the use of magical forces and early science due to the recent discovery of a valuable magical metal known as Ruthium. Because of this, almost seemingly overnight, society has transformed in to one reliant on its uses in just about everything. The Baldune Continent's utmost superpower, the kingdom of Euxaria, has managed to stay at the forefront of this magical and technological revolution for a while, making way for continued peace between the six kingdoms thanks to its noble and just monarch, King Darius II. But although most of the kingdom has been kept happy and thriving, there is the exception of the Barbarian Legion, which continues to attack the out-land cities surrounding Euxaria. Because of this, King Darius has had to shift priorities over to dealing with these criminals, while in the meantime raising his own son, Zahe Kuroi, to be the kingdom's next heir. However, Zahe does not care about his father's wishes for him to succeed the throne. Most of the time, Zahe would prefer to tinker with his machines, read novels, or study philosophy and magic rather than listen to his father go on about the responsibilities he'll have as the future king of Euxaria. He has his own way of doing things which are not of tradition, but instead based off of what stays true to his own beliefs. Unfortunately, with the kingdom's people being very comfortable with and protective about their ways of living, this has not earned him many favors. Instead, his people scorn him and express distrust of what his intentions will be when it is time for him to inherit the throne.



As tensions rise to a boiling point between his kingdom and the Barbarian Legion, King Darius finally decides to negotiate a peace treaty with the barbarians in an effort to quell the storm rising between the two opposing factions. The treaty is initially accepted by the barbarians, but when a surprise attack is orchestrated on the castle by a legion warrior named Gorgen, the castle and its inhabitants are thrown in to a state of disarray and pandemonium the likes of which haven't been seen for over 100 years. While Zahe struggles to search for his father amidst the chaos, he meets a young traveller by the name of Gerard who was separated from his friend during a raid on the city markets. Together, they combine their efforts and continue to search while finding out that there is much more to the attack than what meets the eye, and much more at stake than just the Euxarian kingdom.

Within the world of Valerion, there exist six kingdoms - Euxaria, Gallean, Junai, Etwyn, Roil, and Gelden. Each of these kingdoms is a superpower that controls much of Valerion and its inhabitants, with the exception of those who dwell within the Szirdrei Flats, a vast expanse of cursed land that many wouldn't dare set foot in. However, there is a legend that tells of a gateway located there that leads to the mythical seventh kingdom, Luvaria, which was sealed in to another dimension by its ruler long ago to protect the now-extinct Czeti race from being wiped out by the demigod, Ruthius Veraxi. The six known kingdoms are all allied with each other, sharing a long-lasting peace that has gone on for over 100 years. Thanks to the recent rise in science and the discovery of Ruthium, teleportation and machines are widespread and trade between kingdoms couldn't be easier. For Valerion, it is a very prosperous era full of new, unhatched possibilities.

Zahe Kuroi is the current heir to the throne of Euxaria, his father being King Darius II. Even though he is a prince, his mannerisms are not at all like royalty, and he is constantly judged by his own people for the beliefs he holds true to himself. Despite all this, he is very accepting of others and overlooks the flaws some may have because he knows that despite a person's shortcomings, everybody has something of value to contribute no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. He enjoys inventing things, reading adventure novels and studying magic in his free time. He is friends with Sylphie and has an unprecedented love for apples and guns.

With his fiery yet collected personality, Gerard is a man of words as well as actions. Hailing from the southern continent of Gandara, he has travelled to the Euxarian kingdom in an attempt to free himself from painful memories involving his past. Caught up in the mess between Euxaria and the Barbarian Legion, he meets Zahe and befriends him during the attack. He likes fighting, eating, and exploring the vast world around him. He has a lot of patience, but isn't very fond of people who waste his time. He also likes big weapons and has a soft spot for people who are faced with difficult decisions. He had been travelling with Trefoille when the Barbarian Legion laid siege to Euxaria, separating them both.

A noble girl born in Gallean, Sylphie Belmonte has been friends with Zahe since childhood when she was abandoned in the arms of a guard as a baby. She was adopted by King Darius until she was found to have an inherent ability to use the fabled magic of the angelic Cezeti race, at which point she was put in a noble school for gifted magic users so that her abilities could flourish. However, because of her impatient, air-headed nature, she has a hard time fully utilizing her talents properly, leading to many minor magical mishaps occurring throughout the kingdom. She is most happy when it snows and enjoys riding airships. She also has an unusually profound adoration for chickens, which she thinks are cute.

Born in to a poor family, Trefoille is an expert in the art of speech and getting away from undesirable people quickly. She has been Gerard's travelling partner ever since the night she tried to steal something from a market stall in Corvale and got caught by the town guard. After Gerard saw the potential she had for talking people up, he became interested in learning a thing or two about the magic of speech and asked her to teach him what she knew. After being bailed out of prison, Trefoille joined Gerard in his aimless travels in hopes that she could get away from her circumstances, which Gerard could wholly relate to. She is energetic, talkative, and very nimble. Her interests include shiny objects, obscure clothing, and "relieving" people from "the burden of their assets". She doesn't like to talk about her parents.

Zahe's father and the second monarch of the Euxarian kingdom. His own father, King Kuroi I, was appointed High King in the late 1300s after he slew the demigod, Ruthius Veraxi, using ancient Triterran magic passed down to him by his own father. Darius tries very hard to be a noble king, but sometimes his judgment is clouded by his desire to please everyone, which has been his downfall on more than one occasion. He is good friends with the high minister, Marcus, even though they have conflicts of interest on some things. He is very wise and accepting, but under his smiles and goodwill, he holds a dark secret that he has kept for many years, and is unknown to all but himself...

Even though he is only 20 years old, Marcus has managed to secure himself a position as one of the seven head ministers of the Grand Church of Valerion through his devout faith in the gods and their blessings. Although he and Zahe do not get along well, they understand one another and try their best to keep civil out of mutual respect when dealing with issues they disagree upon. He is stubborn, to-the-point, and prudish by nature, but he is capable of extending his views to accomodate another person when it is necessary or if it is to help someone in need. His most captivating and noticeable features are his vibrant blue eyes, which many consider a blessing from the heavens. He spends most of his time writing speeches and sermons up in the royal church belltower and dealing with social matters within the kingdom of Euxaria.

Because of his father's position as a high-ranking general in the UAV(United Alliance of Valerion), Juuna has seen much war from a very young age. When he was old enough to wield a sword and gun, he involved himself in many important political events, eventually leading up to the assassination of Malvir, a former high minister of the Grand Church of Valerion. But when the mission went horribly wrong and his father was killed in front of him, he blamed himself and has never been the same since. When the rest of his family heard of his failure, Juuna was cast aside and ended up doing small-time security work until getting a promotion doing service as a guard captain for the kingdom of Euxaria. He tries to be confident and kind, but sometimes his past catches up to him and his inner vengeance comes out through his words and actions. He has few interests other than reading, some of these being metaphysics and the art of warfare.
