5000 years ago, the three great factions Shoumei, Reike and Republic signed the Treaty of the Great Factions to drive the Titans from their lands and win their freedom after years of domination. But five millennia later, human greed was on the rise. Peace was undermined by the emergence of ever-increasing power struggles. Everyone wanted to take advantage of this peace in order to establish their domination. Nations had to deal with internal rebellions, even as conflicts between the powers grew. The Titans, then considered myths and legends, gradually became dreams, and the Shoumei religion began to split into three entities: the Divinists, fervent believers in the Titans; the Cultists, advocates of the deities known as ‘The Guardians’, who watch over the world of the dead; and the atheists, who saw in Shoumei the right moment to remove absolute power from the High Priest. One day, the sovereign of the Reike, Ayshara Ryssen, was struck by an attack. An arrow pierced her and her life was in danger. Seagan - then monarch of Shoumei - was emotionally unstable and acted without thinking, leaving his obligations and betraying the famous ‘Treaty of the Great Factions’, which prevented any faction leader from leaving his territory. There, he managed to save the Queen at the risk of his own powers, and was subsequently arrested by King Tensai Ryssen himself, honouring his commitments to the ‘Treaty of the Great Factions’.
