Worldview
This age of mythology greets the age of chaos at the end. In the war-torn corner of the continent of Rotier, a thief established a state. He arrogantly named the country the Shivia Empire. With well-trained soldiers and weapons known as modern magic, they conquered the northwestern part of the continent in an instant.
Although the continental powers, which had a sense of crisis about the expansion of the empire, concluded the Rotil Alliance, they were repeatedly defeated and their territories were encroached upon.
When the mainland was plunged into flames, only a country on the other side of the continent was not affected by the war. That is, the kingdom of Otina, which unifies the whole island on the island of Diofield off the northwest coast of the mainland. After the great Wilma Federation joined the Allies, the war situation on the mainland fell into a stalemate.
Since both the Empire and the Allies lacked the key to victory, the regional war for the "Emerald", the resource needed for modern magic, became more and more intense. Diofield Island, where emeralds were buried underground, also began to be coveted by the Empire and the Allied nations. The kingdom of Otiana, the country where the ancient behemoth Orgas sheltered, was about to be transformed into a land of war.
