Doors of Destiny

Opening Narration
The intense battle over control of the capitol sent most of the powerful lords to their grave. Only Lord Alvis' plan went without a hitch as he successfully gained full control of the kingdom.

After overthrowing the two opposing kingdoms, Silesia and Lenster, Lord Alvis unified the continent. And with the overwhelming support of the people, he became the first emperor of the Grandbell Empire.

...Seventeen years since the Battle of Barhara. The people who once enthusiastically welcomed Emperor Alvis were now experiencing extreme hardship under his oppresive rule. And in the surrounding nations which fell under the empire's rule, the people were forced to live in slavery like conditions.

Isaac was no exception. The extreme conditions had taken its toll on the people.

King Dannan of Isaac was a merciless ruler, taking much after his father, Duke Langobalt. He dropped the social standing of the Isaacian people to that of slaves, while he himself indulged in the pleasures of the royal palace at Rivough. Dannan's second oldest son, Johan, presided over Isaac Castle while his youngest, Johalva, presided over Sophara. Dannan's confidant General Harold administered the remote Ganeishire Castle. He as well relied heavily on oppressive governing tactics to control the citizens.

Fortunately, the people of Isaac were not without hope. Prince Shanan had organised a liberation army based in the northern isolated village of Tilnanogue. Their strength increased day by day... Among the army of young soldiers was one who the Isaacian citizens referred to as 'the Bringer of Light'. He was also revered as the Imperial Prince of Grandbell. ''He was the young leader of the liberation army. His name was... Celice.''
