The Senate was originally formed by the royal family to reconcile many races of Vern.
Today, the Senate is nothing more than an interest group controlling the commerce of South Vern. It's a Human group now.
If what I am suspecting turns out to be true, their next step will make the world bathe in blood.
I already found out their movement through Satra and Haiger. If I fail, the task will be on your shoulders.

The Solar Knights used to be one of the Vern's major orders along with the Lunar Knights led by Avele.
A hundred years ago, when Thar the Knight Commander was killed fighting Necromancer Sigmund, most of the knights perished as well. However, those who survived the incident refused Ealyn's offer and disbanded the order.
Before they are disbanded, they made an oath on the token of their knight commander.

"There will be no more Knights of the Sun after today. However,
if Vern is in danger, we will draw our swords again.
The oath of the Sun written in blood is never forgotten.
Shout on last time, for Vern!"

Nomads of Yudia travel to the desert looking for Solar Salt.
However, occasionally, their searches yield unexpected rewards, one of them being the relics of the fallen Encavian Dynasty.
Ancient patterns of these relics make them very valuable, to the extent that some of them are broken to pieces and sold separately.

"An ancient kingdom? That's all just crap. None of us have the luxury to consider things like historic value.
"Look at this. The gold! A relic means at least two months of stuffed bellies if it fetches the right price.

The flag of the pirate ship the Black Fox is said to have been made by the prisoners who won their freedom by the help of Captain Blackfang. On the flag they painted her two swords, Freedom and Vengeance, over the image of a black fox and presented it to the captain.
Blackfang had never received anything from the people she saved, but she accepted this roughly designed flag and hung it high on her ship.

The little girl stepped onto the land filled the coarse breathing of the injured being. The serene forest filled up with the quiet melody and Albion's wounds from the war began to be healed. The girl's earnest song was inscribed on the surrounding plants and trees and stones.
- I wish... you would get better...

Guardian Rakathus roared an earthshattering war cry and followed Vairgrys's command to set upon the Demons. Suddenly, however, a Demon in pitch-black armor appeared before him. Rakathus brandished his claw to send the haughty Demon back where it belonged, but the Demon's greatsword tore into the Guardian's flesh and spilled his blood across the snow-covered field of Shushire.
Rakathus realized the Demon was too mighty an opponent: Thaemine, the Darkness Legion Commander.
Devastated by the Demon's unpredictable power, Rakathus spread his wings to fly away in defiance of Vairgrys. Then, suddenly, a black spear split the air. Rakathus fell to the ground, letting out a horrible shriek of pain as his body landed with a resounding impact. The spear, forged from pure chaos, pierced the thick ice beneath the Guardian's body, plunging him into the waters beneath.
If ever Rakathus reawakens, he may emerge as something different from the Guardian he once was...

According to an old story, it is said that an ancient race called the Haals used the power of the hourglass to distort the dimension and created their own world. Though the Haals have disappeared, to this day, the hourglasses they used can still be found all over the world. Perhaps the Haals did not disappear, but became their own gods in a new world.

When I opened my eyes, I was standing in front of a giant flower glowing red.
Overwhelmed by its aura, I just wanted to run back to the village. However, I could hear a baby crying somewhere nearby. It was coming from the center of the giant flower.
When I reached out my hand, the flower, strangely enough, started to open up its petals one by one. After the flower was wide open, the baby revealed itself. The baby, maybe a hundred days old, kept crying until its face became red. Picking up the baby, I noticed something even stranger. The dark energy permeating Prisma Valley was diminishing, as if it were intimidated by the baby's crying.
The baby was the one we had been waiting for.
I ran back to my family and shouted to everyone
that I brought the heaven-sent heir to the Yeon Family.

When Archbishop Gustaven, the legend of the Holy Sacrian Empire, was still a priest, he encountered the giant snake Aguilok, the Calamity of Rethramis.
After a battle that lasted the whole night, Aguilok fell, and so did Gustaven, exhausted after striking a mighty blow to the snake's belly with his rod.
When the soldiers came to the scene, however, Aguilok had disappeared.
All that was left was a bloodstained rod protruding from the earth.

Remember this rod! I will be here to face you again when you return!"

There is a story in Yudia that has been passed down for generations.
Somewhere in the vast land of Yudia, there exists something called a Salttree, which guides people who get lost in the desert.
Those who see the tree are safely led by Fairies to a place where they could be helped by other people.
The tree turns into a pile of salt the moment it is seen by the lost, leaving a small fruit behind.
Perhaps the fruit is the heart of the desert, wanting good people to find their way to safety.

A book detailing the lives and achievements of the thirty one knights who contributed to the founding of Luterra.
The witty and insightful style of Theodora, a renowned historian and writer, made the book a continent-wide best seller. The eight knights described in Chapter 1 are some of the most beloved heroes in Luterra history, their images even appearing on the Knight's Path that passes through Luterra Castle.
All eight of them are a guiding star to modern day knights, but among them, Zachs the Ruffian enjoys the greatest popularity. Zachs's statue stares at the palace with his hat pulled down low, while the other knights raise their weapons high.
From his life as a notorious outlaw all the way to his prime in service of King Luterra as his shadow, Zachs was a tough guy, and his fans love him for it. In all the books in Termia Library, the pages that told Zachs's story were always torn and missing. The book is out of print and is very hard to get.

A blood-stained dagger, the same kind that's been commonly found in Luterra recently.
It was repeatedly observed in the hands of the high priests of the Heretics prevailing in East Luterra.
When the devil-worshipping cult first appeared, Luterra sent out the knights and brought in all of its followers. According to the record, most of them had been indoctrinated by something, and they were able to get back to their old selves after some time in the solitary cell.
The Heretics were not found for more than fifty years until they appeared again after the regent started ruling Luterra. As uncertainty and anxiety filled people's hearts, the preaching of the cult that denies living a full life spread like a wildfire under royal connivance.
Engraved on the blade are letters of the Demon language, which is unfamiliar to the races in the mortal world.

"The madness is asleep inside you for eternity."

Once a Delain becomes corrupted, the Chaos Piece within their body begins raging. In no time, their consciousness is erased, and the Chaos Piece rips through their flesh and bones to come outside. Delains who gave in to the power of Demons and became corrupted have thirsted after living creatures, a thirst that can never be quenched. The once-rational creatures are ruled by a hideous instinct.

An old, worn-out bladed weapon provided to the fighters of the Arena.
It is dull and poorly forged, making it hard for its wielder to even scuff a foe's armor.
However, occasionally there were fighters who proved their might regardless of what they had in their hands. Madnick, the leader of the Daybreakers carrying out the Prisoner Emancipation Movement in Shushire, was one example.
Imprisoned after losing his entire family, he was thrown in front of a giant wolf with scores of other prisoners. The wolf, Frost Claw, was a fierce beast that had killed and fed on hundreds of prisoners.
The audience in the arena joyfully watched as the wolf's teeth tore into a prisoner, expecting blood and guts to spill.
However, betraying their sick expectations, an old, chipped blade plunged through the beast's jaw.
As the arena fell to complete silence, Madnick threw the carcass of Frost Claw to the side. That was the day that he became the hero of the arena and the light of hope to other prisoners.

All experiments concerning Y-48 have failed, but we all agree that there is an undeniable need for a machine that could replace Human labor. Thus, we, the scientists of Nebelhorn, decided to take a detour and came up with an alternative, the Heavy Walker. Once we build this Heavy Walker, controllable from both inside and out, it will be able to replace Human labor more efficiently than any other machine we've created. Recently, we successfully downsized the engine used in Blitz, which will be the cornerstone of Heavy Walker production.
 
One thing we are concerned about is the AI control, but it can easily be taken care of by giving all AI-related authorities to Krause the Technologist. We therefore request quick approval by the Parliament regarding this matter.

The ancient sacred beasts wandering around Loghill were supposedly created by the gods, who had great interest in the mortal world. They spent ages designing creatures that looked similar to the ones made by nature, becoming more adept at it every day. This skill greatly contributed to the creation of mankind.

It is believed that most of the sacred beasts were driven to extinction during the Chain War, until a band of grave robbers in Rethramis brought some of them back from the past, using a relic called the Portal Stone. Their plan was to summon beasts like Croclaw or Ludus in order to control them, but unfortunately the Portal Stone ended up summoning Pokan the Tyrant. After this, the stone lost its power and became an ordinary rock.

"An old story that dates back to many moons ago still haunts my longing heart."

Back before the river that runs through Luterra was named Luoden, its water was tainted by the Demon invaders, killing many Puruus who coexisted with the river. In order to bring them back to life, Water Elementals threw themselves into the river to purify the water and perished. After a lapse of time, Azenaporium, Nahun's purification device infused with magical power, gave the nature back to Puruus and Water Elementals. Water Elementals form pure substances called Bubble Nuclei in their habitat, and these permeated the land of Luterra, enriching its soil. This is why Luterra yields a rich harvest of Dyorika, a very rare crop, as well as pumpkins and fruits.

A mark of belonging to the Avesta.

Five hundred years ago, after the Chain War, those who inherited the blood of both Demons and Humans were born. The Holy Sacrian Empire designated them as Demons, and killed them indiscriminately. The earth was filled with the screams and blood of the Delains, but the Delains never unlocked the power of Demons. At the end of the horrible massacre, death was all that remained. The surviving Delains took care of the piles of Chaos Pieces. The leader, Zaika, tore off a piece of his blood-soaked clothes and tied it on his arm. To not forget the sacrifice of his comrades.

A book that contains the teachings of Sceptrum, a god worshipped by the Cykins of Arthetine for ages. Following the creed that encourages the desire to seek knowledge and wisdom, the Cykins started looking for a way to substitute their body parts with mechanical alternatives, gradually evolving into a new species whose blood was blue. As time went by, Cykins took the concept of right and wrong to be nothing but categorized results of analyses on social situations, and their holy book is just the evidential basis for their theory.
Maybe they were thinking they could get closer to their god if they called the collection of their research papers a "Holy Book."

A book written by an ascetic who participated in the sealing of Bleak Edge, hundreds of years ago.
The book thoroughly describes the Demonic Portal and the fiends from hell.
"If it had not been for the leaders of Yeon and Jeok, we most likely would have failed. When every single one of us sank into despair in the face of the Hellspawn's power, they stood up and fought fearlessly. When they managed to rip the eye and heart out of the Demon, my heart was filled with renewed admiration for the wonder and the glory of Anikka's martial arts. I was reassured that, with our combined might, we would be able to defeat any enemy, no matter how powerful it may be. It was as if Sien, the hero who saved this continent, had returned..."

The full collection of Anikka's gourmet dishes!
The most amazing dishes that you won't find in Rethramis, Luterra, or Vern!
Reading this book just once will turn you into an Anikka cook!
"...The traditional wine of Anikka is beyond description, to be frank. Unlike Luterran beer, which is known for its wild flavor and fruity smell, it is quite soft on the throat, with a very delicate aroma that lingers in the mouth... It makes the perfect liquor of choice to drink during a meal. What about the thing called 'dumplings' they have in Changhun? The wonder of vegetable and meat packed into that thin dough skin! You cannot help but scream with joy every time the juice pops out of it as you chew. Anikka, in short, is every food lover's paradise."

And so the city of giants, created by the God of Earth, sunk to the bottom of the ocean during the colossal war that started from the Hollow War and spread to all of Arkesia. The few giants that survived went into a long, deep sleep with their feet on the ocean floor, to preserve their diminishing power.

Unlike those that died with the city, Tortoyk, a giant who inherited the power to create living beings, started to produce new creatures. Eventually, its very own body became the home of its creatures. The newly created island on the sea still placidly sits in the middle of the sea with its origin unknown.

The Book of Light is a must-read for students of theology who seek to become priests.
It depicts the righteous image of Regulus, the God of Light, and praises his divine effort to lead the world to order against Zosma, the God of Chaos.
In Prideholme and many other cities of Rethramis, the study of priesthood usually starts after the disciple finishes reading the Book of Light.

"Seek not to be the Light itself, but be the mirror that guides the Light of Regulus to its righteous place, shedding light to all who are in need."

A note from Samuel, a prophet who failed to have any souls handed down to her.
Though portions of the cover is burnt, the inside is relatively well preserved.
In the preface, Samuel describes a nightly recurring dream.
"A horned Demon will appear and set Xeneela on fire."
She tried to warn people about Xeneela's future, but no one believed her.
On the last page, there was a single line scrawled hysterically over and over again.
"See, I told you so... In the end, you will face catastrophe!"
No one has seen prophet Samuel since the day Xeneela was reduced to ashes.

A love letter written by Valaire, a poet and an old fan of Umar Neria.

- Your lips are like a pair of freshly cooked sausages,
- and your reddish cheeks are like those of a heavy drinker.
- Your body resembles the shape of one of those beer kegs piled up in storages,
- and when you sing, you sound like a running mine car with a broken set of blinkers.
- You are not obtainable, neither by him nor me,
- for no one could claim ownership for a star that struck Yorn.
- And so, all that we could do is scream, "Please smile at us, Neria!"

If you take a whiff, you can tell the smell does not come entirely from foot odor, but also from liquor that was drunk out of it.
Umars take pride in their tradition where they drink liquor out of their boots soaked in sweat after hours of labor,
and anyone who's willing to drink from their boots can easily be their friend.

A woodblock that is said to draw the spirits of the dead. It is given by the Senate to soothe the mournful people who lost their beloved. Many people in South Vern who are regretful for not saying what they had in mind to the deceased use this woodblock as they believe that it would allow them to communicate with them. However, they don't know whether the spirit they summon with the woodblock is that of the beloved or a Demon. Users are advised to keep these rules to avoid being eaten alive by spirits.

1. Do not perform the ritual alone.
2. Do not perform the ritual more than 15 minutes.
3. Do not ask about the future to the spirit.
4. Do not end the ritual without the consent of the spirit. If the spirit doesn't want to end the ritual, persuade it until they give you the consent. Never end the ritual on your own accord.

Luterra's scholars studied the salt of Yudia from various aspects, but they couldn't come to a definite conclusion.
The one thing they know for sure is that there is a special kind of salt in Yudia that has a magical power.
Ever since Vern and various other countries started using Solar Salt in their magick studies and experiments, foreign visitors have been pouring into Yudia.

"I can't be sure, but this salt seems like it was infused with power from outside this world.
"Do I sound crazy? Solar Salt must be related to the spells of the ancient shamans in Yudia.
"The salt desert that emerged out of the blue five hundred years ago... as well as the legend of the lost kingdom.
"Doesn't it excite you, the idea of an unknown world somewhere out there?"

A countless number of enthusiastic minds came to lay a firm foundation of Luterra since it was founded, but there was an unparalleled genius with capabilities that surpassed those of all his predecessors combined.
Nahun was a commoner who didn't even have a family name, but he stood out as an inventor and became a nobleman at the age of 14.
He was an exceptional architect, inventor and an adept mage after he became good friends with the Sylvains in his midlife. After the kingdom was stabilized, Nahun designed seven edifices each named after a Sidereal, and among them were Azenaporium, a shocking realization of balance between physics and magick, and Sien Inn, a frequently visited gathering place.
During the construction of Kadan Cathedral, King Luterra passed away. For that, unfortunately, the architecture with the name Luterra became a tomb. Nahun devoted himself to hiding the tomb so that nobody could desecrate it. When a rumor spread that Nahun had in his safe a clue to find the way to the King's Tomb, he made numerous fake keys and scattered them all over Luterra.

A ring engraved with the image of an eagle, the symbol of the Luterra monarchy.
The king of Luterra bestows the ring to a knight on his conferment of knighthood.
The ring originated from the one worn by the first king Sidereal Luterra. The original, however, has not been passed down in the royal family. According to the legend, the king gave it to his beloved whom he protected with his life.
The story has affected the knights of later generations, and it became their custom to present the ring to their beloved partner. However, as often as the ring has been offered to a worthy lady by a knight in love on one knee, many have been taken as trophies by the enemies that threaten the peace of Luterra as proof of their victory against Luterra's finest knights.

"Sir Cadogan called me a has-been. He is right. However... The voice that fills my heart has not aged at all. It is what people call justice."

A diary of Amalone, the ever-wandering legendary cook.
-Crap. I've failed again. What was the problem this time?
The way they grow so incensed over the food, you'd think those damn aristocrats believe that eating anything new was dangerous for them or something. How does a cook make good food without failing a couple of times and putting out weird-tasting food every once in a while? Might as well write down the grilled fish recipe for the record, though.
[Rohendel-Style Butter-grilled Fish]
-2 slabs of filleted fish (salted and peppered)
-Half a stick of butter
-Half an onion (or a whole one depending on your preference. This damn nobleman says he doesn't fancy onions.)
-2 bay leaves
-1 cup of Zagoras mineral water
-Some white wine (I'll finish the bottle, anyway.)
-3 petals of Magick Flower from Rohendel
-It was Rohendel, I think. Maybe it was a mistake putting in the mashed Magick Flower petals. It tasted pretty sweet when I tried it raw, so I figured I'd use it instead of sugar... How was I supposed to know that's what they use to make Polymorph Potions?
-Everyone got furious when the nobleman turned into a frog all of a sudden. It was a hassle, getting away from those overdressed soldiers of his. Little did they know, I even managed to escape Rohendel! The secret exit I dug out beforehand came in handy. It's too bad that my robe got all dirty, though.

A mask worn by the Moguro who live by the Starsand Beach. The Moguros call it Moguroguroguro. It looks cute, but wearing it will bring about the rotten fish smell. In Punika, there's a saying about this.

- "A horse wearing a Moguro mask can go a long distance." (Meaning, horses that faint from the smell can go a long distance)
- "Pay your debt with the smell of Moguros." (Meaning, a bad situation could turn out to be good)
- "It's Moguro day." (Meaning, a situation turned out to be unexpectedly the worst.)
- "As if looking at a Moguro across the river." (Meaning, being indifferent to a situation)
- "Fields have eyes, Moguros have ears." (Meaning, watch your mouth)

As prison brokering became rampant in Shushire, corruption began to grow from the inside. The government lost its reigning power to rich prison brokers, and the starving people started to sell themselves for breadcrumbs.
In this time of desperation, Madnick, the hero of the Arena, stepped up to represent the people of Shushire and led the Prisoner Emancipation Movement. His followers called themselves Daybreakers, and devoted themselves to bringing daylight to the fierce winter of Shushire.
"We are all equal. We all have the freedom to raise our voices and to live on as free men and women. The Daybreakers have risen for the sake of the persecuted in Shushire. Do not turn away from life. Wherever you are, we will bring you a new dawn."

The Chain War had ended, but there was new chaos growing in the lands of Anikka. Sien followed the chaotic energy to Prisma Valley and discovered that Guardian Luen was the core cause of the events. Sien and his eight followers sealed the valley tight to subdue Guardian Luen and started to cleanse his soul. Guardian Luen, upon coming back to his senses, told Sien to kill him, saying the disaster was caused by the demonic power that spread to his body through his wound. Sien, however, insisted that he would save Luen, just as Guardians had saved him and his loved ones in the past.
After a long silence, Guardian Luen disappeared into the clouds.

A Plague Spore is so toxic that the slightest touch on the skin can infect a person.
If left untreated, the ecosystem around Loghill could take an irrevocable damage.
This is a odd thing, indeed. We have never seen a poison of this sort, so the cure for it is hard to produce.
Continued research only confirms that this is a new type of poison that has never been seen before.

Renowned stonemasons gathered in Loghill, a proud town famous for its heritage of masonry. They accepted the challenge to build a statue of Regulus, the one that would embody all the glory and the splendor of the God of Light.
Emet, a legendary mason, read through all the theological books in Rethramis and designed a statue that resembled the god as closely as possible. A few days before the grand project's completion, Emet was invited to the cathedral, where he couldn't resist his curiosity and stepped into the library of forbidden books.
The next day, he was dragged out from the cathedral screaming, and was cast out to Loghill. When everyone fell asleep, he smashed the nearly-finished statue of Regulus into pieces.

"The god is not coming. We need to be ready."

Emet was arrested by the guardian knights of the Holy Sacrian Empire, and is still behind the steel bars of the cathedral prison.
