On the continent of LOSLORIEN, there are four portals that grants an access way between that world and the real world - our home, the planet Earth. The two worlds function on par with another - when one waxes, the other wanes. While Earth began in a chain of catastrophic events that eventually found life on its soil - Loslorien once began as a very powerful civilization with advanced magic and technology. When the Earth began to flourish, Loslorien declined. Men drunk on power killed one another in conquest for control over the entire domain. Eventually there became three three warring Kingdoms all in contest to expand their territory, but as of it as now, they remain at a stale standstill - not one budging from defeat or victory for a very long time.
As Loslorien began to crumble away, a wandering God out of kindness created four doorways and cast them into four directions of the world - which is aforementioned as the Four Gates. The doorways brought in things from the other world - Earth. Different plants, animals, and humans themselves wandered into Loslorien. Delighted by the presents that walked through the Gates, Loslorien welcomed their earthly guests and war was soon forgotten in place of the curiosity and overall desire to understand the other worlds. But after as time passed, the Gates were forgotten. Humans from the real world had forgotten about the Losloriens and as a result, had stopped coming. With nothing coming or going, the God closed the Gates and Loslorien was completely lost from the real world.
Over time, a religion was founded upon the God - they call him the Creator, and many ascetics dedicated their lives writing holy scriptures about the traveling humans from the 'Other World' and the times of peace they brought upon the kingdom. There was one monk - a young disciple by the name of Shai - who was particularly keen of the religion, and was raised into priesthood due to his 'dirtied birth'. Shai grew up to be a marvelous monk - but there was also something missing that was in front of his eyes. Seeking out that void, he learned of the temple's secret and stole their heirloom - a sword with the spirit of the Creator sealed inside its blade. Extracting the soul of a God and implanting it into his left eye, he was granted a powerful ability to foretell the future amongst other things - which included the power to unlock the Gates.
He opened the third Gate of Formation - and allowed the multitude of demons to flow back into the world of Loslorien. Killing the Prince of Hell, he ate the demonic flesh and gained immortality and a compendium of demonic powers, along with many demonic followers to obey his every command.
Shai then proceeded to open the second Gate of Creation - and set loose a furious army of angels which set forth to punish mankind and demons alike for their sins.
Lastly, he opened the Gate of Action - and unlocked the passage way between the human realm and the kingdom of Loslorien. Angels and demons alike leaked into the human realm, and their war caused many deaths and casualties that affected outside of the world of Loslorien.
A powerful mage with unknown origins managed to reverse the catastrophe, by standing up against Shai. He had a weapon fashioned out of the Creator's bones, and with that weapon felled the war, sealed the Gates, and managed to send Shai to a slumber that was to last a millennium. The mage, hailed as a Saviour, was asked to rule over Loslorien as its sole King. And he did, for a great many a time, before he too passed away. As if repeating the cycle, Loslorien fell into ruin when the mage failed to produce a suitable heir to the throne. And once again, the three Kingdoms each split apart from their unity.
They have long forgotten the reason why they are fighting other than their past hatred for one another, and the warning the dying King left them with. In a thousand years' time, the "Impure God" will awaken - and without fail, will unleash calamity upon Loslorien again.
... And the plot begins exactly 1,000 years after the day Shai was sealed - with the first human after so long falling through a dimensional pothole that she mysteriously encountered when diving off the south coasts of Japan... but is it really a mistake that the human girl enters Loslorien? Rumors have surfaced that six other humans have found their way to the continent on the same day as the awakening of the Impure God, but such has been disregarded by many of the Kingdoms as nothing but a old folklore tale. |
