Background
Hundreds of years ago before Velgalta unification, the land was dominated by many local lords who were vying for power and there were frequent skirmishes between lords throughout the continent, until there were no hidden details have been recorded in the history that was passed down amongst the people. Because of this, everyone were become exhausted from the wars that raged across the land and still yearned for the unification of the continent.
