CHARACTERS

Iris Arcadia 
Voice: Himari 
Princess General of the Holy Kingdom of Aurelia. 
Whether it's leading her army or wielding a sword herself, she is respected as a champion without equal. 
With not an arrogant bone in her body, she is a compassionate woman who cares deeply about ensuring peace for her people. 
As such, she is staunchly opposed to the ways of the Nation. 
She shares a strong bond with Lady Seraphina, the symbol of the Holy Kingdom. 
Although uncharacteristically strict for her age, when Lady Seraphina appears before her, she becomes remarkably docile. 

 
 

Seraphina Rentoit 
Voice: Hina Katakura 
The ancient high elf that slumbers in the palace of the Holy Kingdom. 
She is the reincarnation of the Goddess Larentia worshiped by the people of Eos. Legend has it that when the world is in danger of being destroyed, she will awaken to save the people. 
She is elegant and modest, but there’s also something captivating about her. 
Originally, she was opposed to going to war, but as the Nation grew, she came to fear that the world was at risk, and agreed to fight. 
As she and Iris share a common cause, they have developed a friendship that transcends species.

A pure-blooded dark elf, seldom seen in human lands. 
On top of her rare beauty, she is also gifted with wisdom and grace.

Kohaku 
Voice: Mei Misonoo

It’s because she’s so frank when she’s looking after her pupils that she’s earned their love and respect. 

 
 

Mel Mel 
Voice: Mao Enokizu 
A halfling who serves as representative of the United Mercantile States of Tull.

Eleonora Bern 
Voice: Haruna Kirishima 
A female bishop of the church situated in the Nation. Disheartened by the depravity and corruption around her, she seeks to restore virtue to the church. 
She rose to her rank through honest and sincere work, and is devoted to saving the elderly, women, and children who are oppressed in the Nation's society.

But this does not deter nor dishearten her in the slightest, for she is a woman of faith and love.

A formerly ordinary woman who used her beauty to become the emperor’s concubine and eventually claim the throne.

Completely indifferent to other people’s suffering, she leads her life by putting her own amusement ahead of everything else.

Nicola Noiva 
Member of the Black Dog Knights.

He is often looked down on for his stutter and his scrawny appearance, which has led to him becoming stubborn and resentful to others. 

 
 

Cale Gale Dinbul 
A merchant that primarily operates in the United Mercantile States of Tull. 
Tempted by profits, he dealt in forbidden commodities, which brought him under harsh condemnation from Mel Mel, who believes in honest trading, and was expelled from the merchant guild.

No one else is able to hear the voice of this god he speaks of, nor can he prove to anybody that this god is real.

SUMMARY

To the west of the continent of Serenus lies the land known only as the Nation. 

Founded over a hundred years ago, this country represents the apex of both corruption and prosperity. Its decadent empress Ladomira turns her nation's vices—as well as her own otherworldly charm—to her advantage to maintain her power as her armies pillage and plunder in the neighboring nations, leaving the seeds of tragedy everywhere in their wake. 

In the face of this peril the neighboring states, having finally united in a Holy Alliance against their oppressors, launch an all-out assault that quickly threatens to overpower the Nation, surrounding its strongholds from all sides. 

But before peace and justice can be returned to the land, a single man stands in their way. Derek Rondo, commander of the Nation’s army and hailed as be the second coming of its founder Mercenary King Vult, successfully repels the allied armies under the orders of Empress Ladomira. However, he holds another desire in his heart... the desire to usurp the throne. 

Derek burns with ambition to take down not only the invading knights but Ladomira herself, and claim everything for his own!
