From the edges of Isaach and Silesse to the corners of the Thracian Peninsula, the world stands at peace as Emperor Arvis and Empress Deirdre rule peacefully upon the throne of the Grannvale Empire. Built on the back of a massacre of fire and death, the people are content with the tranquility made from the fallen lives of innocent. Yet others knew that this was merely the calm before the storm... One touch of the book turned the kind, eager, wise young prince into a demon incarnate. Prince Julius, ever so eager, did not waste any time in seizing the throne, and Archbishop Manfroy was all the happy to indulge him... As Julius stages a coup on his father almost immediately after receiving the Book of Loptous, and lets the Loptrians invade Belhalla, the Second Holy War begins in a frighteningly quick turn of events. Lives are turned upside down and families are ripped apart, yet sacred bonds form as a few brave people stand together in the darkness. "To inherit a holy weapon does not make one a hero. To carry on the will of the Crusaders is the true measure."
