Chapter 2-1 Guide

Overview

The Eternal Sun
I desire the sun only. If they decline my request, destroy them all, and if they are willing to relinquish it, you shall decide their fate.

Two thousand years before the World Calendar, the scene opens with a conversation between the Japheth Empire's royals: Emperor Thurinus, Prince Rubicon, General Sarvis, and High Priest Merari. The outstanding general, praised for his military prowess, was promoted to Senator and awarded the charming city of Bellefontaine.

Recalling all the feats and accolades he had received as the leader of the Japheth Empire, the emperor set his sights on the Arsacid Empire and ordered the three to seize the mysterious sun god by any means necessary.

Upon reaching the Arsacid Empire's capital, Obed, the three marveled at the majestic Babel Tower. With the empire brought to its knees, they marched toward the mysterious tower to reclaim The Library and the sun god.

Overview

Arsacid Empire
Throughout its long history, Obed was sometimes the center of a powerful empire, while at other times it became the vassal of an even more powerful empire, the fifth emperor of the Arscacid Empire, was an instance of the latter.
