Cutscene 1
Haseo: Whoa this is cool.
IYOTEN: Hey! Hey you. You, the Adept Rogue! Yeah, you! I'm talking to you. So I take it this is your first time playing this game.
Haseo: Yeah, I just finished installing it to my PC.
Asta: Well, if you wish, we will be honoured to show you around.
Haseo: Huh?
Asta: I am sure you would like to become acquainted as soon as possible.
IYOTEN: Just say yes and come along with us. I promise you don't regret it!
Haseo: ...
Asta: All right, it is decided then. Here. I'll hand you my member address.
IYOTEN: Member addresses are... short e-mail addresses that... you can only use in "The World." Short mail allows you... to instantly send and receive messages... from any player online in "The World."
Asta: You can only invite people... that you have member addresses for to join into your party.
IYOTEN: All right! So, let's open the menu. Press the Triangle button to open it.
 
Cutscene 2
IYOTEN: So we've all been transported to a field.
Asta: Open your map to take a look at the layout.
IYOTEN: Go ahead and press the Select button on the controller. 
 
Cuscene 3
IYOTEN: Yeah! Awesome job! All right, let's finish off by heading for the Beast Temple.
Asta: Okay, now use the map to check your position just like we taught you.
 
Cutscene 4
IYOTEN: This is a statue of Folset, the God of Law. We just call it the Beast Statue, but I think in the game's story, it's supposed to be an important god or something. You see that treasure box? That's the offering to the Beast Statue. There's a rare item inside of that, that you can only get in this area.
Asta:  Go ahead and open it, Haseo.
Haseo: You sure?
IYOTEN: Go ahead! You're still a noob, you need all the help you can get!
Haseo: Thanks. Huh? What the—
IYOTEN: The items in the treasure chest are your rewards.
Asta: Yes, and our reward is you.
IYOTEN: I love taking out these pathetic noobs. It's really quite fun. Face it. An idiot like you isn't qualified to play this game.
Asta: Hey, hold on. I thought you said I could kill this one, don't you remember? After all... This is my reward! Nice try, dear.
IYOTEN: How pathetic!
Asta: Well what do you expect from a noob who's just logged in for the first time?
IYOTEN: Come on, say something already.
Asta: Hello.
IYOTEN: I swear, just pretend to be their friend and they fall all over themselves to let you "PK" them. Hey, you're still around aren't you? Huh? What's the—
Ovan: Weclome to The World.

Cutscene 5
Bordeaux: What an idiot.
Negimaru: The Terror of Death!
???: It's Haseo! The PKK!
Bordeuax: What?! I'm surprised—I didn't think you'd be that strong. I guess this means that the rumour about you killing one hundred PKers wasn't a lie after all. Hey, come on don't look at me like that. Here, let me apologize. Or just take it easy, calm down and... die!
Haseo: Do you know "Tri-Edge?"
Bordeaux: What did you say?
Haseo: He's a legendary PK, shrouded in blue fire. They say players that get killed by him never come back to the game.
Bordeaux: Oh come on now! Don't tell me you actually believe that crap! Those old forum fairytales. So, you think you can go against me, the great Bordeaux, and just walk away like nothing happened—
Haseo: Yeah, I think I can.

Cutscene 6
Sakaki: So it's you. You, the character that stinks of death. "The Terror of Death." You're the PKK Haseo. Players who kill other players are disgraceful. And I agree it's terrible how PKs can just strut around "The World" so easily these days. But is it right that you PKKs have chosen to use brute force to stop them?
Haseo: I don't have time for this. Not now.
Sakaki: You have no authority and it earns you nothing, so why? I am the leader of Moon Tree's Unit 2. My friends call me Sakaki. And I'm afraid I cannot overlook your actions.
Haseo: Did you say "Moon Tree?" What's that? The name of a guild? Sorry, Sakaki, but I've already got enough friends, thanks.
Atoli: Do you always interrupt people like that? You know, Sakaki wasn't finished talking to you yet.
Haseo: Shino!
Atoli: Huh?
Sakaki: Atoli, do you know this person?
Atoli: No.
Haseo: Atoli?
Sakaki: It's not unusual to meet players with similar characters in an online game like this. Just a case of mistaken identity.
Haseo: Hey you, why don't you just—huh? A text message? Δ Hidden Forbidden Waterfall. Waiting at Arche Koeln. But who sent it? Ovan?!
Sakaki: Just hold on a moment. Why don't you stop acting like a complete fool. Remember what you PKKs are trying to do. If you succeed, you'll be no different from the PKs themselves!

Cutscene 7
Haseo: Ovan!
Ovan: It's been a long tme, Haseo. Or maybe I should call you "The Terror of Death?" You've gotten quite strong. A lot stronger than you were back then. Well I was forced to become stronger thanks to you. You. Where have you been?
Ovan: Haseo. Always the reliable one. I knew I could count on you.
Haseo: When the Twilight Brigade broke up, why didn't you come then? What have you been doing the last six months!?
Ovan: I was busy. It was such a small seed. I needed to find out what was growing inside. And there was only one way to find out. That's why I decided to raise it.
Haseo: You raised it? What are you talking about Ovan?
Ovan: I'm speaking figuratively.
Haseo: When you suddenly disappeared, we all just... Why did you disappear like that?! After that, Shino...
Ovan: Haseo, do  you want to know about "Tri-Edge?"
Haseo: Wait, you know Tri-Edge?!
Ovan: Six months now, and Shino hasn't come back to "The World" since "Tri-Edge" killed her. Meanwhile, the real-life Shino is lying in a coma. And no one seems to know the reason why. Tri-Edge. He is not a normal PK.
Haseo: So you knew, about Shino.
Ovan: Yes, but that's all that I know. But if you were able to find "Tri-Edge," you might learn something about Shino's coma. You may also learn more about what really happened that day. And if you were somehow able to defeat "Tri-Edge."
Haseo: Then maybe Shino will come out of the coma.
Ovan: If my information is correct, he will be back today at the scene of the crime.
Haseo: The scene of the crime? You mean—
Ovan: Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground. The place where Shino was killed.
Haseo: The Hulle Granz Cathedral. Yes, finally. I'll get my chance! I swear I'll bring Shino back! I'll do it Ovan!
Ovan: Yes. You and I. We're the only ones who could possibly bring her back.
Haseo: We're the only ones. Ovan?
Ovan: I'll meet you at the Holy Ground. There's something I must do.

Cutscene 8
Ovan: He will be back today... at the scene of the crime.
Haseo: Tri-Edge is coming here!
Shino: They say there used to be a statue of a girl here.
Haseo: A girl?
Shino: That's right. She was called "Aura."
Haseo: I wonder, why'd she disappear?
Shino: Who knows? Maybe she just lost her interest. Lost hope for this world.
Haseo: What's that sound? Is that "Tri-Edge?" You bastard! Damn! What the hell... what the hell are you? This guy killed Shino! It's not over yet!

Cutscene 9

Haseo: Huh? What the—I was fighting Tri-Edge, but then... Damn it, I can't remember. Huh? I don't remember doing that. Reformatted?! What's going on? What about my e-mails? Huh?! What the hell?! I would never delete these! They're all gone? Even the e-mails I got from Shino? Everything's been reformatted? What the hell is going on?! An e-mail? Fine, let's take a look. Ovan?! Trial and Truth. Whether or not I should quit "The World?" You should know better, Ovan! I'm going back to "The World!" And then... I'm going to get Shino back! No matter what!

Cutscene 10
Haseo: Uh! What's going on? Why is my equipment different? What the—I'm back at level 1?! What about my items?! My Member List?! M-my equipment?! Gone. It's all gone. My whole character has been completely reformatted.
???: Hey, did you see that guy just now?
???: With the really weird arm?
???: Totally!
Haseo: Arm? Ovan?! He would know something about this.

Cutscene 11
???: Hey do you know what that guy's job was? I don't think I've seen a design like that.
???: I didn't look that closely.
???: I saw him heard towards the Harbour. Maybe I'll go get a closer look.

Cutscene 12
???: Oh my god! That player looked really hot!
???: Really? I thought he looked kinda creepy. So, you like guys that look like that?
???: Where'd he go?
???: I think we went down that alley.

Cutscene 13
Haseo: Damn! It's those player killers!
Bordeaux: It's not much of a challenge when they're so pathetically weak.
Negimaru: Yeah, I know what you mean! Fighting those noobs is making us all rusty.
Bordeaux: That Rogue that we fought the last time, he really wasn't that bad!
Negimaru: Um, you mean we're going after him next?
Bordeaux: Hell yeah! There is no way in hell... I can back down after what happened last time!
Negimaru: Y-yes ma'am.
Haseo: Wait. What the hell am I hiding for? Why do I have to hide from bastards like them? It's pathetic.

Cutscene 14

Haseo: You're kidding! What the hell's going on?!
Silabus: Gaspard! Are you okay?
Gaspard: What happened?
Silabus: Are you okay?
Haseo: Uh, yeah.
Silabus: Hey, are you a new player?
Gaspard: You're a noob? Oh, hey. I'm sorry. I guess I must have scared you, huh?
Haseo: Hell no! I'm not a noob! I'm the Terror of Death.
Gaspard: Terror of what?
Silabus: What? Wait, are you talking about the famous PKK, Haseo?
Gaspard: Oh, you're a player-killer killer! I knew I'd heard about him somewhere before. But, I'm pretty sure the player's name was Haseyo.
Silabus: Are you sure?
Gaspard: Definitely, yup!
Haseo: Hey, look, it's me. I am the real PKK Haseo!
Silabus: I'm sorry, but you'll have to gain more levels before you can say anything like that.
Haseo: W-what! Hey!
Silabus: If you're a noob we'll be happy to each you the basics of this game.
Gaspard: Actually Silabus and I are part of the noob support guild called Canard!
Haseo: Noob-support guild?
Silabus: It's a guild that teaches noobs all they need to know to become top players.
Gaspard: We're actually pretty famous you know!
Silabus: Oh yeah! I need to give you our member addresses first. Here!
Gaspard: Member addresses are an address system...
Haseo: Oh man, it's just my luck to get mixed up with a bunch of weirdos. I even lost sight of Ovan. Anyway, right now I've gotta level back up to become the Terror of Death. Well, I guess I'll just hang out with them for a little while longer.
Gaspard: Look, it doesn't mean that they'll join because you invite them to. Um, were you listening to me? :)
Haseo: Yeah, I was listening.
Gaspard: You were? Really?
Haseo: Yes, really. Anyway, come on, you're gonna teach me the basics, right? So hurry up and let's move on to the next lesson.
Silabus: Okay, then let's go to an area!
Gaspard: Now invite us into your party, and we'll go find the Chaos Gate!

Cutscene 15
Gaspard: Attention! Bringing one noob to the dungeon! Repeat, bringing one noob to the dungeon!
Haseo: I told you that I'm not a noob!
Silabus: I know, I know, you're really the Terror of Death, right?
Gaspard: I can understand you wanting to role-play something like that, but I'm not really sure if you should do Terror of Death, you know? Player killers are going to come after you and it'll definitely be rough for you.
Haseo: Hey! Just shut up and listen!
Silabus: So you're saying you're really the PKK Haseo, the Terror of Death. And when you logged in, your level went down from 133 to 1?
Gaspard: No way. I've never heard of a bug quite like that. Wow.
Haseo: I'm not lying!
Gaspard: Okay, but, still...
Silabus: Gaspard, that's what he's role-playing.
Gaspard: Oh, now I get it. That's some really complicated character background.
Haseo: It's not role-playing!
Silabus: Don't be embarrassing, we'll accept your character concept.
Gaspard: Just relax and come with us!
Haseo: Will you please listen to me already?!

Cutscene 16
Gaspard: The enemy has been spotted!
Silabus: Okay, maybe we should start by telling you about the Skill Trigger.
Haseo: I already know about that!
Gaspard: But how could you know? You're just a noob.
Haseo: No. I'm. Not.
Silabus: Uh... Why don't we give it a shot?
Gaspard: Okay! Come on Haseo! Let's go fight the monsters.
Silabus: Don't forget to use the Skill Trigger, okay?

Cutscene 17
Gaspard: There's another enemy!
Silabus: Well, now that you know how to use the Skill Trigger, let's learn about Rengeki.
Haseo: I already know about—
Gaspard: Okay, then let's go and fight them!
Silabus: I'll tell you the timing to execute it, so make sure you use it.
Haseo: Listen to me, dammit!
Gaspard: Don't worry, we're listening all right.
Haseo: Yeah, right.

Cutscene 18
Silabus: Do you know about Awakening?
Haseo: No, I don't.
Gaspard: See, I knew you were a noob!
Haseo: Hey!
Silabus: Now, now, Haseo! We'll tell you all about them, so don't scowl! k?
Haseo: Yeah. So, what is this Awakening thing you were talking about?
Silabus: Well, it's a special attack that you can do together with your party members. Do you wanna give it a shot? It's a lot easier to understand it if you're in battle.
Gaspard: Yeah, that sounds good. Let's do it! I'm going to do my best!
Haseo: Hey, I haven't agreed—
Silabus: All right then! Let's go encounter some enemies!

Cutscene 19
Haseo: Hey, do you guys know anything about Tri-Edge?
Gaspard: Tri-Edge? No. What's that? Some kind of event monster or something?
Haseo: It's the screen name of a PK.
Silabus: Never heard of him.
Gaspard: Me neither. :(

Cutscene 20
Silabus: This is a statue of Folset, the God of Law in "The World's" backstory. But we just call it the Beast Statue.
Gaspard: And there is the treasure offering. See? Go on and open it, Haseo!

Cutscene 21

Bordeaux: Hey, little Haseo. Been a while, huh?
Silabus: They're-they're from Kestrel!
Gaspard: Huh? What? Hey. Who are these guys?
Silabus: Famous player killers!
Haseo: What the, not now.
Bordeaux: Well, well. Look's like you haven't been keeping up since the last time we met. It took me a while to recognize that you were really the Terror of Death
Silabus: What?! He's real?
Gaspard: You're really, really the Terror of Death?
Bordeaux: How amazing. I mean, what a coincidence running into you here! I tell you, it has to be destiny!
Haseo: What the hell are you talking about?
Bordeaux: Yeah, right, moron! Gimme a break. Someone sent me an anonymous e-mail! So I decided to come and have some fun. Now, what should we play? Well for starters, how 'bout I "love" you to death!
Gaspard: I don't really know what's going on, but please no violen—
Silabus: Gaspard!
Bordeaux: He got in my way.
Haseo: Ah hell, what is this?! Just what the hell is going on here?! What's happening?
Silabus: Ha-Haseo, run!
Bordeaux: Are you scared? Man, I just love that expression. You know what I mean? God there is nothing like PK.
Haseo: Wait a minute, what the—something is, something is starting to... It's-it's growing?!
Pi: Hold it! You guys look like you're having fun.
Bordeaux: Who the hell are you? You wanna be killed too?!
Pi: Are you sure you want to do that?
Bordeaux: ?
Pi: The guild that you PKers hate the most... might be heading this way as we speak.
Bordeaux: Moon Tree?! I can't believe it. You tipped them off you bitch!
Pi: Maybe I did.
Negimaru: Hey, w-what are we going to do?
Bordeaux: Fighting them now is only gonna bring more problems. You! I won't forget this!
Pi: What a silly girl. Don't you realize that I just saved you?
Silabus: Um, yeah. Thanks a lot for saving us.
Pi: You're Haseo?
Haseo: I don't recall telling anyone like you my name.
Pi: You're an unruly child, just like I heard you were.
Haseo: What are you, a groupie?
Pi: Nice try, but I'm not interested in brats.
Haseo: Well I'm glad. Because I don't have any interest in old hags.
Pi: What? Old hag?!
Haseo: Only an old person like you would use such an out dated phrase like "unruly child."
Pi: Damn brat! I'll have you know that I'm—
Haseo: You're?
Pi: I'll come back another time.
Haseo: As you wish.
Pi: Let me just give you one warning. Haseo, your character hides something. There is a dangerous power inside you.
Haseo: Dangerous power?
Pi: Have you ever had the feeling like there was something strange growing inside your character? As if it is trying to get out. Well anyway... I'll see you again.
Gaspard: Oh man that was pretty scary.

Cutscene 22
Silabus: Wow. Okay. So, I didn't really get all of that, but basically, your character has some really messed up data, right?
Gaspard: What?! Really?! Well, then-then you should go and tell CC Corporation all about it and have them recreate your character for you!
Silabus: It's not normal to go fromo level 133 to level 1 so suddenly.
Haseo: Yeah, I know. You're right. It's definitely "not normal," but... I guess you could say my enemy's not normal either.
Silabus: Enemy?
Haseo: If that "dangerous power" or whatever she was talking about can help, then... then I've got no choice, but to keep using this character!
Silabus: That sounds pretty serious to me. Oh well. Anywaym, good luck!
Gaspard: You know that? Come to think of it didn't that lady say that she had already called the Moon Tree guild?
Haseo: That was just a bluff.
Gaspard: She lied?
Haseo: No, not a lie exactly. That old hag just never said she had actually called them.
Silabus: A bluff, huh? She's quite the strategist.
Gaspard: Oh!
Silabus: What's wrong?
Gaspard: What are we doing wasting our time? I mean what if those player killers come back here?!
Silabus: Y-yeah, good point. Let's hurry back to town!

Cutscene 23
Silabus: Hey.
Haseo: ?
Silabus: Why don't you have Moon Tree protect you?
Gaspard: Hey, yeah! That's right! You've got those really strong looking PKers after you!
Silabus: Moon Tree is a guild that supports the abolishment of PKs.
Gaspard: And part of their mandate includes helping PK victims out.
Haseo: Moon Tree, huh? Oh them. You want me to beg those hard-headed dorks to protect me? Forget about it! I'd rather be PKed than be protected by all those lecturing loudmouths. Seriously, who amkes a charity group in a game—
Silabus: Haseo?
Gaspard: What's wrong?
Haseo: How long have you been standing there?! What? You got a problem?
Atoli: Look Haseo! You don't understand anything about Moon Tree, okay?! We;re jsut trying to make "The World" a more enjoyable place. We just want to reach an understanding with everyone! I mean doesn't everyone feel like being nice to someone sometimes? We want to protect those feelings! We want to be able to protect those feelings! But everyone likes to make fun of us saying we're just some charity group or some cult. We just want to improve, together with everyone else! We are not here to lecture anyone! Do you get it! Do you understand?! Do you Haseo?!
Haseo: Uh, you...
Atoli: Please take this!
Haseo: Huh?
Atoli: I am going dl everything within my power to explain Moon Tree to you! I want you to better understand who we really are!
Haseo: Wait. Don't I get a say in this? Hey.
Atoli: Yes?
Haseo: So, how did you even recognize me anyway? I mean I don't look anything like I used to before.
Atoli: Well, I guess it's because you're still you!
Haseo: ?!
Atoli: It's true that I didn't recognize you at first, but soon after that I realized it was you! Oh. Sakaki's calling me, so I have to get going now! But I'll tell you a lot more about Moon Tree next time!
Silabus: Was she a member of Moon Tree? That's great! If you're friends with a Moon Tree member, the PKers are bound to leave you alone!
Haseo: Man... even though she's got the same gace and everything, she's definitely not Shino.
Gaspard: What's wrong?
Haseo: Oh, nothing.
Silabus: Well, that was all really interesting. Okay, we're gonna head for another area. How about you, Haseo?
Haseo: No, I—
Silabus: Okay, got it. Well, if you need anything, just call us. :)
Gaspard: We'll help you out! ;)
Silabus: See ya! :D
Gaspard: Yeah, later!
Haseo: God, I'm so beat. What was that about? And what about that woman... and the "dangerous power" she talked about. I'll log out and check my e-mail or something.

about ceasing service
Antenora
 
It's been a long time since they went out of 
service. Do version upgrades and server
expansions usually take this much time?
 
I don't know much about computers, so i really 
don't know. Can somebody tell us the answer?
 
Re: About ceasing service.
Mitan

Well I'm not exactly an expert, but it sure feels like it's taking too long.
 
According to rumours, the stoppage was caused
by a virus. They say the whole story about an 
upgrade is just a lie.
 
Wait
Killer Whale
 
>According to rumours, the stoppage 
>was caused by a virus
So it's not reliable info, right? Don't you think you
should stop spreading rumours?
 
Re: Wait
Mitan
 
>So it's not reliable info, right?
This info is apparently true.
 
Remember there were some graphical bugs
just before the service was suspended? Those
black spots that were popping up. I heard that
was caused by a virus.
 
It's been confirmed by an analyst on the Rumour
board, so I think it's rather reliable.
 
Re2: Wait
Masaki
 
> It's been confirmed by an analyst on
>the Rumour board, so I think it's rather reliable.
I too think it's reliable information.
 
I asked a programmer friend of mine to take a 
look, and he found a virus right away.
 
>I asked a programmer friend of mine to take 
>a look, and he found a virus right away.
This friend of yours sounds suspicious. Are you
sure it's really true?
 
Re4: Wait
Tenjin
 
>Do version upgrades and server expansions
>usually take this much time?
I totally agree. It's unthinkable that a version or a 
server upgrade could take this long (maybe 
a couple of years ago, but not now).
 
>According to rumours, the stoppage was
>caused by a virus.
I heard that rumour too. I personally think that this 
rumour is believable. Even though, like Killer
Whale said, it's not for certain,
in CC Corp.'s case, it seems likely.
 
Uhhh?
Antenora

So it is safe to say that we are all on the same page, that this has taken too much time?
 
>in CC Corps.'s case, it seems likely.

Expected result 1
Kyoragi
 
Complaining this won't speed up the
process, so why don't we  have a constructive
discussion on what we can expect for the next
version? (A CC Corp. employee may read it and
pick up on some of our ideas.)
 
[Subject]
This is how "Crimson VS" will change in its next 
release.
 
Okay, write down all your best thoughts!
 
This may sound selfish
Judecca
 
There will be more hot girls!
 
Huh? You don't like that? Personally, I would
really love to see it! LOL
 
The opposite
Antenora
 
I wish they'd come out with sexy guy cards!
 
I like guys with toned biceps and abs! I get hot
just imagining them!
 
Re: opposite
Kagari
 
>I wish they'd come out with sexy guy cards!
For a moment I agreed with you, but you go for
guys with muscles? LOL
 
Sorry for being realistic.
Mitan: 
 
I wish they would increase the number of cards 
in your deck stock. I hate having to have the deck 
in front of you and making *otes all the time.
 
Sorry for the boring opinion.
 
Dear Beasty
Tanu
 
Monster cards! Ton's of 'em! Pile 'em on! Can't get enough!
 
Whew, I'm already in "The World" mode. Well, in 
the next version, I want to see twice as many, no,
four times as many monster cards!
 
That's what I want!
 
Re: Dear Beasty
Fukijin Tsuke
 
I thought they might do that. By the way, Tanu,
are you "that" Tanu? Kestrel's Beast-lover, right?
 
I know this is out of the blue, but I love how you 
run around Mac Anu screaming "Beasty!" LOL
 
Re2: Dear Beasty
Nogmung
 
In the next version, I want to see them make my 
portrait even more beautiful
 
...Hmph. I'm sure they'll do that.

Re3: Dear Beasty
Tanu
 
Yikes! My cover is blown! And on top of that, uh
are you hitting on me? Wow...
 
Re4: Dear Beasty
Tenjin
 
Things are heating up in here! LOL
 
I want them to use famous cartoon artists and
illustrators for the artwork! The artwork now isn't 
bad, but if it were by some of these artists, it
would be out of this world.
 
I want to see cards by Mr. So-and-so. Don't you
think?
 
I want the art collection
AppleStar
 
Nogmung's post has been beautifully ignored.
 
This has nothing to do with the next version, but I 
wish they'd put out an art collection. If possible, in
hardcover.
One picture per page would be perfect!
 
Or maybe not. That would be too many pages.

Re: I want the art collection
Fei
 
Oh, an art collection would be great! I'd want
them to put sketches in there too.
 
>Or maybe not. That would be too many pages.
The cost would be even worse!
 
>I want to see cards by Mr. So-and-so.
How about different artists drawing the same 
subject?
What do you think? Sounds interesting, huh. 
 
What the!?
Nogmung
 
You don't appreciate my beauty? You guys are
all blind!
 
 
 
 
...Well I just want to try saying that. Don't get
mad, okay?
 
Re: What the?
Mitan
 
Nogmung, you made me laugh!
 
The art collection is a great idea! But it can't be 
too expensive.
 
Advance!

This thread is getting too long, so I'm starting a

Humans and Beasts

Humans and Beasts
 
At first, humans and beasts
were friendly with each
other.
 
But while the beasts 
revered nature and old
ways, the humans
were too innovative.
 
It was the beasts who first discovered the
creatures called Chim Chims. When the beasts saw
the light of the gods in the Chim Chims they
decided to revere them as a legacy of the gods.
But the humans captured the Chim Chims to research
them and after discovering a way to extract energy
from them, used them to invent seam machines.
The beasts protested this treatment,
but the humans would not listen.
 
As the humans' use of steam technology
advanced, they abandoned magic as
old and obsolete. The beasts 
continued to revere magic culture
and rejected steam technology.
Humans scoffed at the beasts for
being stubborn and small-minded,
and beasts came to despise the humans' foolishness.
 
Eventually the beasts decided they could not leave
the God's Rebirth to the fools and proclaimed that
they too will participate in the God's Rebirth.
Folset granted their participation. Humans were
outraged. They believed that the God's Rebirth
was their right.
 
The two sides' antagonism toward each other began
to deepen and finally war broke out.
 
Humans gathered their armies
and steam weapons, but found
their weapon production was
lagging behind. Desperate,
they build the great factory
of Breg Epona, but still
they were unable to create
the necessary weapons.
 
Beasts were might in the 
ways of magic, but were small
in numbers.
They were unable to marshal a large enough army.
 
Humans were weaker, but more numerous.
Beasts were stronger, but fewer in number.
 
And the war continued to rage on.

Three Dogmas

Three Dogmas
 
Both humans and beasts
grew tired of the long
years of war. However,
neither side was able to
strike a decisive blow and 
none knew a way to stop the
cycle of wars and bring the
entire gruesome conflict to an end.
 
In this never-ending cycle, a new faction was
born. Composed of both humans and beasts, the new
faction concentrated on pure pursuit of power and
incorporated the crest technology loathed by beasts.
 
Both humans and beasts were afraid that this new 
faction would enter the wars, but they sent
emissaries to both humans and beasts and called
for a cease fire. At first, both races were
hesitant, but they both were forced to accept
from the sheer toll brought on by the war.
 
And so the war between the two races
ended but the conflict continued.
Beasts continued to insist on 
participating in the God's Rebirth
and the new faction proclaimed
their participation as well.
 
Humans chanted for "steam technology
and innovation." Beasts were for "crest
technology and tradition." And the new faction
for "the pure pursuit of power."
 
They began a quiet war without a show of force.
No winner was decided in this war since no gods
were born from any of these forces. The three-way
war continued, and in time the factions came to be
called the following:
 
Arvakv the Innovators
Ogmios the Conservatives
Teutates the Pursuers
 
To this day, the three-way war knows no end, and
it quietly drives the world ever closer to its
doom.

World without Gods
 
The world fell into stagnation without the gods.
 
With none to command them, the sun stood in place
and the tides ceased to ebb and flow. The looms
gave forth no thread and the ovens no warmth.
Mankind now had to perform all of these functions
themselves.
 
Despite these hardships, humans did not cease
their wars with each other. Soon they invented
different types of magical tools to improve
their lives.
 
Ten years after the Great War with the gods, a
researcher visited the ruins of Fort Ouph. Many
have avoided the ruins of Fort Ouph, Lia Fail, 
Carmina Gadelica, and Dun Loireag after the Great
War in fear and hatred that they were haunted
by the spirits of the dead gods and goddesses.
 
This belief was further enhanced
by the fact that most who set out
to explore the ruins never came back.
 
However this particular researcher did return and
he brought along with him a creature of a body 
of a human and a head and tail of an animal.
 
The creature was a Beast.

God's Rebirth

God's Rebirth
 
All the gods
in heaven
disappeared.
 
But a single god 
who remained
on earth lived.
 
This was the God of Law, Folset, who guarded
the gate that blocked the Heavenly Path.
 
Winning the war against the gods, the humans
wanted the wisdom and power of the gods and
stormed Morrigu Barrow and demanded Folset to
invite them into the realm of the gods. But
Folset refused to grant them entry.
 
At first, the humans pointed 
their weapons at Folset and
demanded he open the gate.
But Folset answered thus:
"Do whatever you wish.
There is no way any of your
weapons can harm me."
 
 The humans followed his 
words and tried to attack Folset
in any way they could, but they
were unable to harm even a single hair on his head.
 
Once they learned that force was to no avail,
they tried to convince him to open the gates 
by seducing him with gifts.
 
After seeing the gifts, Folset said: "Build a
mountain of gifts for me if you wish. I'll
make a mountain twice that size in an instant."
Before Folset was even finished completing his
sentence, a mountain of gifts more lavish than the
gifts of the humans sprang up before their eyes.
 
After learning that both force and flattery were
of no avail, the humans got on their knees and
begged pathetically.
 
"If a power that is greater than the Shadow
emerges, we would fall into ruin. But if we could
regain the wisdom and power
that lies beyond this gate, 
we would be able to protect 
ourselves and not fight one 
another. So please open the 
gate." Folset laughed and
answered them: "Was it
not you who took up a sword 
and shield and slew
the gods? You should
suffer for your sins."
 
Protesting, the humans replied,
"So are you saying that we should have simply
allowed the gods to drive us all to extinction?"
 
Folset shook his head and answered:
"Recall first the sins that you committed.
Is it not just the sinners receive judgment?"
 
To this the humans could make no reply.
 
Folset continued to speak:
"But all beings have the right to atone for
their sins. Human! Child of sin! If you want
this gate opened, then bring back the lost gods.
The gods will rise again, born from the dogma of
the believers. If they are true gods, then I will
open this gate. Bring back what has been lost and
only then can you be pardoned.
 
And so the humans argued over Gods' Rebirth and
once again made war against each other.

Battle Against the Gods
 
When the gods learned that
a goddess had been 
imprisoned, their fury
knew no bounds and
they vowed to destroy
mankind.
 
But the humans had no
intention of meekly
succumbing to extinction
and used their magic powers to devise a weapon
that they could use to fight against the gods.
So began the war between the gods and the humans.
 
The humans were no match for the power of the gods.
The Aerial City of Fort Ouph fell from the sky and
the Highland City of Dun Loireag was crushed 
underneath it. The Cultural City of Carmina
Gadelica was destroyed by the god of lightning
and many lives were lost.
 
As a last resort, the humans took all of Aurora's
power, transformed it into magic power and fired
it at the heavens.
 
Heaven was engulfed in flame and the gods fled
or fell burning to die upon the earth.
 
The humans sacrificed much as well. The Relic City, 
Lia Fail, from where the goddess' power was fired,
was reduced to ashes and many excellent magicians
died along with it.
 
And so ended the age of the gods.

Goddess Aurora

Goddess Aurora
 
The savior of
mankind was a
young apprentice 
magician.
 
He confined himself in the temple of Arche Koeln
and prayed to the gods. In exchange of his life,
he was able to call upon the six great spirits
and two goddesses.
 
The eight gods that were summoned were:
Vulcan the Fire Spirit,
Merrows the Water Spirit,
Krake the Wood Spirit,
Yarthkins the Earth Spirit,
Lanceor the Lightning Spirit,
Anu the Star Goddess, and
Aurora the Goddess of Light.
 
The light of the gods shined once more on the 
blessed earth and the Shadow was contained.
 
Thanks to the newfound peace, humans once again
prospered, but it did not last long. Once the
threat of the Shadow was gone, the humans began 
to fight with each other.
 
After sealing the shadow,
the eight gods and goddesses
remained on earth, but some
were angered by the
foolishness of humans and 
others grieved their 
wretchedness and left until
finally, only Aurora remained.
 
Fearing that the light of heaven would again
depart the earth, humans placed eight curses on
Aurora and sealed her inside the Hulle Granz
Cathedral.
 

Path of Evil

Path of Evil
 
The gods fell into despair over the human's deed.
 
They created a great gateway called Morrigu Barrow 
and blocked off earthly access to the Heavenly 
Path so that none could enter heaven.
 
Along with the sealing of the Heavenly Path,
the light of the gods was also blocked from earth.
 
Without the protection of the 
gods, the earth gradually
became wilder and began to be
corrupted by a dark power called
the Shadow. Corrupted by the
Shadow, the earth overflowed with
monsters and demons.
 
These demons roamed the world and killed
everything in their path. Many creatures were lost
as a result of their brutality.
 
Humans also came under attack by the 
monsters. They formed barriers in the
major cities and closed themselves
off. They fought against monsters,
but lost the battle after battle.
One by one, the cities were cut off 
from each other, and the barriers
protecting the cities were destroyed
one after another. Finally only
five cities remained standing.
