PLOT
A GENERAL SYNOPSIS ON THE CURRENT STORYLINE
Welcome to Fiore, home to Earth Land's greatest guilds and the central point of this story.
For ages there has been healthy competition between the guilds of Fiore for the number one spot, but these competitions never spanned into excessive violence, and thus peace remained. However, an influx of supernatural happenings have been reported in Fiore. Countless unexplained deaths and disappearances have plagued the Earth Land nation. The Magic Council have their suspicions on the cause of this.
Recently, a large amount if Magic has been flowing into a portal like device. Any of those who ventured into this flow has neve returned, and thus blocked off from the general public. The Council has begun its investigation of the phenomenon and have been testing it's peculiar nature. They have dubbed this flow of magic power as the River of Styx. A popular theory is that this flow of magic only leads to death.
Because of the mysterious nature of this flow of magic, Dark Guilds have no doubt been on the move to harness this great power for themselves. Though, they may find themselves underestimating its full capabilities. And so, a conflict is surely on the horizon.
Meanwhile, in Eternus...
On the other ends of the River of Styx lies Eternus. The world of the dead. Most believe Death is ultimate peace for those who have lived their lives without wickedness, though they would be wrong. Eternus is not only the home of the dead, but also the world of Limbo; the container for those who cling to life, but their soul has become disconnected. If a mortal is by chance pulled into Eternus in their physical body they will reside in Limbo until either they succumb to the fate of death, or find a means to escape. However, escaping is not an easy feat.
Two guilds reside in Eternus and fight for dominance. Erebus Chain is a guild found within Limbo that protects the Gates to Erebus' imprisonment within Tarturus, and, seek to free trapped souls within Limbo by contesting against their rival guild for control over the Styx Portal. However, their rivals, Soul Harbinger, continuously use the portal to pull in mages with strong magical power from Earth Land. Their goal is to steal their victims magic until they have enough to open the Gate to Erebus and free their ancient deity from his imprisonment, which would lead to destruction of Eternus and Earth Land as a whole.
Not to mention, Soul Harbinger is set on regaining their lives and freedom from Eternus. They aim to use dark magic to create immortal vessels that are powerful enough to contain their souls and be able to physically enter Earth Land once again.
Erebus Chain knows it is slowly losing its grip on the situation. They have implemented the same tactics as Soul Harbinger- their masters having been able to create two puppets that are able to temporarily allow them access into Earth Land via and small window of magic that has the same properties as the River of Styx portal. They plan to request the help of the Earth Land mages- who can freely enter and exit Eternus on a whim.
The fate of everything. The mortal world and immortal world hangs in the balance.
