Long ago, a god was summoned to this continent. She—the god of the moon, and the younger sister to the sun deity— answered the call of the king, her purpose to slay the snake who would swallow the sun. For this deed she demanded a threefold price: fine wine, music, and the touch of a human to warm her. As long as humanity provided her with these three sacred offerings, her existence, inherited through blood, would remain in the world of man. She would love them, and live among them. The name of the town in which she resides is Irede—the oldest pleasure town on the continent. Even now, it is a town of myth, proudly steeped in the vestiges of its ancient history. A map is a thing easily redrawn. Time and again, this has been proven over the course of human history. Nations and people fight one another due to their interests, their beliefs, or simply for the sake of their own survival. Borders are changed, the names of countries are changed, and so, too, are the lives of those weaving their meandering course through time. If there were ever a person or group who sought to bend this change to their own will, then they would surely be committing a grave sin. For how dare they presume themselves to be a god? “Honestly,” the young king of Torlonia grumbled. He sat upon the throne, resting his chin in his hands. “Even the real gods have no wish to meddle in human affairs so much.” Having experienced a number of major disturbances recently, the continent was in the greatest period of unrest it had seen in the past several decades.
