A Tale of Two Berges...

The Gods’ Remorse spread across the peaceful world like a wildfire. An epic battle between Delgaia, the God of Destruction and the Divinities of Creation ensued, over the fate of mortal life.

Eventually, Delgaia was defeated and sealed into the world, but the Divinities of Creation also fell, and the world of Berge was separated in two by a giant miasma-filled crevasse – the Black Precipice.

One side of Berge was bathed in constant light, and is known as Lustrous Berge. The other half is cloaked in constant darkness, and is known as Dark Berge. The Black Precipice has been in place for so long that most residents of the world don’t know that the other half exists...

And now, events loom that threaten both halves of the world. Fate has chosen a champion from each half. The stage has been set. Will it be the best of times, or the worst of times?

Force

This world’s equivalent of energy, it all flows from the Holy Vessel. It is divided into Creative Force and Destructive Force. All things contain elements of both types of Force.

Berge

Berge is the world the story occurs in. It is separated into two parts due to the Black Precipice formed during the Gods’ Remorse, Lustrous Berge to the west, which lost its darkness, and the Dark Berge to the east, which lost its light.

Hexyz

After a harsh battle, the Divinities that stood against the God of Destruction died, but their Force was carried on to the people. The people that inherit the Force of the Divnities and their Ragnafacts are known as Hexyz. As the God of Destruction stirs, so do the Hexyz.

The Black Precipice

A great crevasse filled with miasma that appeared during the big disaster known as the Gods’ Remorse. The miasma warps all life that enters, which effectively bars travel through the area. The violent aberrations that appear from the Precipice are a threat to the lives of local inhabitants.
