Stage 1

Prologue

A Zeluth, with a history of 10,000 years based upon alchemy and magic. It is a huge floating continent that still floats in the interstices of the dimension. It's history is marked by the emergence of deformed beings from deep, smooth holes called "Dusks" The history of this land has been a history of struggle between people and the strange things that come from the hole in the ground called "Dusk"

History tell us. From small communities of people working together, countless nations have sprung up to become what they are today. But, as if to make a mockery of the prosperity of the people, the strange things have continued to increase rapidly.

In the third month of the year 10093, the year of Megistus, it fell upon a people who had lost all effective means of dealing with the strange things. The arm of a great machine that had fallen from another world. Later people would call it the [Arm of God].

The landing point of the [Arm of God] was the holy kingdom of Vartzpheem. In the holy kingdom Vartzpheem, analysis of the arm was done as urgently as possible with the help of the metallurgical society of A Zeluth. From the technology discovered, means of dealing with the strange beings were developed. This discovery lead to the creation of the [Masouki] which could confront the strange beings.

Today, the people who ride the Masouki are called [Demon Knights]. The reason why they are called [Demon Knights] is because they carry on the spirit of their predecessors who fought against the strange things since ancient times.
