3. story

It has the background story of the confrontation between the 'Alliance of Light' and the 'Union of Wrath' that takes place to capture the holy land of the goddess 'Etein'.

The background of the basic story 'Episode 1: Holy War', which is the core, is as follows, and various episodes have been added since.
  • generalization
    When the goddess Etain first created the continent of Theos Epirus, it was a peaceful green land full of greenery and abundant fruits. However, she lost her life force as Etain was killed by a creature of her own making, and her continent, covered in Etain's blood, fell into chaos. Since then, as the elves slowly cultivated the land, the north gradually turned into a fertile land, but due to the endless war waged by beings blinded by their twisted desires, Theos Epirus is constantly being polluted.
  • Creation (peace and abundance)
    Etain, who escaped the war in the world of Gods and opened the dimensional door to the world of Shaiya, created all beings in the world of Saiya. Etain made the land and mountains with his own flesh, made rivers and seas flow with his red blood, formed the soil of the continent of Aina, and created the first god, Teleeosis. Due to their violent nature and outward appearance that did not meet the standards of the gods, the Nordins were confined to the underworld, and only Duminas grew up under the protection of the gods. At this time, the huge beating of life on the continent resonated with the world, and the world was filled with songs of peace and abundance.
  • Destruction (Blessing Box and Seven Plagues)
    Etain, who entered the world of the gods again out of longing for her hometown, received a blessing box as a gift from a goddess who was jealous of her there and returned to Shaiya. However, when Etain opened the box, instead of a blessing, seven plagues spread out and permeated all over Shaiya. As a result, the Duminas distrusted the goddess Etain and refused to rule the Teleiosis, causing a war. Due to the war, Etain got sick of her heart and turned into an ugly figure. Seeing her terrible appearance, the Minas denied her their goddess and brandished her sword at her. Etein's body died, but her soul split into two and disappeared somewhere along the way, and the world she created also quickly fell into ruin.
