Towards to end of the last days of the legends unrecorded in history, seven
dynasties arose in the Brakion continent. They all defended their territories
and prospered.
As each kingdom grew, violent conflicts among them began to
take place. Wars among them continued while the Dragons were spectating from the
above. After centuries of warfare, the worn out kingdoms decided to group
themselves into two different allied forces and launch the final attack to each
other. The kingdom of Altheim claimed the winner's crown and ruled Brakion for
one thousand years.
While most people were enjoying the peaceful days that
last for a millennium, a few remembered the bloodshed which took place right
after Altheim claimed victory over the war. The Altheim dynasty mercilessly
liquidated the royalties of the other dynasties and that was the reason for the
peace for one thousand years.
Nevertheless, the hoary peace began to
vanish.

Duke Roshufelt, through an ancient document that had been inherited in his
family, found out that his family was once a royalty. Using the ancient document
as evidence, Roshufelt claimed the right to succeed throne, however, the king of
Altheim ignored his claim. Outraged Roshufelt, with the support of the nobles on
his side, declared a war against the Altheim dynasty.
Many prominent war
heroes arose during the war between Altheim and Roshufelt. Amongst them were
Schwartz Pramme whose heroic achievements were incomparable to anyone. The
Altheim dynasty seemed as if they gave him complete trust and declared him the
son-in-law of the king and future successor of throne. However, the king of
Altheim was afraid of Schwartz Pramme because he knew too many intimate secrets
of the royal family.
One day, an anonymous note was delivered to the king,
troubling the unclear blood lineage of Schwartz's mother's family. The note
revealed that Schwartz's mother's blood lineage is connected to one of the royal
families from the seven kingdom periods. Even though it was unclear whether the
note was truthful or not, the king did not hesitate to order Oswalt, Schwartz'
half brother, to eliminate Schwartz.

Why did Oswalt not validate Schwartz's death? Later in the history many made
a few guesses. Among the guesses were Oswalt, being a half brother to Schwartz,
let him live, but it was also speculated that Oswalt was too overwhelmed by his
victory and did not have a chance to validate his death. However, Oswalt, the
only witness who could tell the truth was soon murdered by Schwartz.
Schwarzt
who miraculously saved his life at Taragon mine was reborn as a completely
different being hearted with the power of ether given to him by the Hellons.
Schwartz launched a sudden raid to the capital of Altheim and the kingdom which
had been weaken by the long-lasting war against Roshufelt fell imminently.
Following the fall of Altheim, Schwartz began to attack both Roshuflet and the
Dragons who had been coldheartedly spectating the human wars. As a result of the
attack known as 'the Dragon Hunt', the Dragons, the Valkyries and the
Resurrection Forces of Altheim were driven to the far eastern corners of the
continent.
After Roshufelt's surrender, Schwartz sanctioned self-government
of the eastern wasteland of the continent for a limited period by concluding
unfavorable treaties against Roshufelt.

It was so fortunate for the remaining forces of Roshuflet that Schwartz
turned his eyes to a different issue other than revenge. While Schwartz was
obsessed with reviving, Alicia, the last princess of Altheim, who used to be his
fiancé, Roshufelt's remaining forces succeeded in acquiring a small
territory.
In the wastelands of the far eastern corners of the Brakion
continent, they executed Roshufelt, the war criminal, and began to forge a new
nation. Such news traveled to the ears of the resurrection forces of Altheim who
were fighting against Schwartz in the west of the continent. The resurrection
forces f Altheim entreated the remaining forces of Roshufelt to allow them to
move to the east of the continent, Roshufelt forces denied such request for
several reasons. Then the Altheim forces carried out an imprudent exodus through
the center of the empire to the east of the continent.
Touched by the heroic
exodus of the Altheim forces, the Roshufelt forces decided to clear the old
grudges. Soon they became one nation, the Republic of Roshuel. The capital of
the republic was established in Etherain where Unified Parliament of Roshuel was
formed.

Five centuries after establishment of the Republic of Roshuel, the initial
ambitions and spirits of the founders diminished. Parliament members were busy
with party strives for protecting personal greed.
Then a news like a bolt
from the blue struck them. As the Ether reserve within the empire became more
and more exhausted, the empire turned its eyes to Roshuel where fluent Ether
reserves still remained. The emperor placed an order to each and everyone in
Roshuel to move to other places and even before the migration was complete,
numerous Ether plants were established in Roshuel. In order to oppress people of
Roshuel more and more armies were deployed to Roshuel. The empire's armies
terrorized the people of Roshuel. It was when the Roshuel Parliament was
discussing when to complete the migration, a mysterious women appeared in a
border village. She roused up passion for freedom and confidence that has gone
long sleep in Roshuel people's minds filled with defeatism and servitude. Under
her leadership, large numbers of resurrection forces, Valkyries, Dragon Knights,
Berserkers and Elementalists gathered to Revolution against the empire.
