Corrupted Outskirts
It used to be a bustling and lively village, but Magnus' tyranny and ensuing uprisings forced the inhabitants to flee. The ones who stayed behind with lingering affection hoped for a miracle to save their home.
But as the stench of death filled the air, the Undeads attacked the remaining inhabitants, and the glimmer of hope was quickly eclipsed by darkness. The once thriving farming community now echoes with the screams of the Undeads, hungry for the flesh and blood of the living.
Plagued Dark Forest
The Dark Forest was rich in timber and medicinal herbs. As people began to settle in the forest, the silent forest slowly came to life.
However, rumors about the Maneater began to spread from nearby villages, and dead bodies with bite marks on them were found at the origin of the rumors. At first, the entire forest was gripped with anxiety… But now, people don't take those rumors seriously anymore. After all, finding torn bodies has become common in the area.
Abyssal Cavern of Cultists
The Abyssal Cavern has always been known as a place where people hide from persecution. The cavern has provided safety for those seeking protection. People accused of heresy have found refuge there, while those fleeing the kingdom's soldiers often lurk in the shadows of the cavern.
But the peace did not last as an evil aura overtook them after the Day of the Tragedy. The Undeads took on a twisted manifestation of their beliefs, sacrificing the living things around them.
Lightning Valley Where Sacrifices Pass Through
The Lightning Canyon is said to be guarded by a hero who stood with Magnus. Marthel Ironside and his loyal soldiers guarded the road to Gigantfall. They endured the striking thunderbolts to keep their oaths.
It has been some time since they lost their senses, leaving their longings unknown. Perhaps those who stand guard with vacant eyes carry untold stories and have a home to return to. But these spirits will never leave this place, and will forever guard the Lightning Canyon.
Cursed Holy City
Beneath the Gigantfall Castle lies an old town, with many stories from the past. Since Magnus claimed the throne, its underground dungeons have become darker and more crowded. Otherworldly creatures roam in the shadowy darkness, and the guilty cower between the bars.
People living near the bottomless pit share similar lives to wrongdoers, even though they haven't sinned. Their lives have always been wretched, and now, with the Undeads roaming freely, not much has improved.
Corrupted Cathedral
Beyond the beautiful vistas of the manicured new city and the royal castle overlooking it, people often uttered fearful tales.
Archbishop Heinrich preached the teachings of the Goddess in the cathedral, and the people listened with respect and fear in their eyes.
But as the Day of the Tragedy passed, and the cries from the cathedral finally became unmistakable... it was no longer a temple of divine teaching.
Gigantfall, Tyrant’s Fortress
Magnus, who led the Liberation Army, was a good king of the divine Kingdom of Neejarem. But suddenly, he was transformed into a tyrant of terror, a man who spreads despair. Those who have met Magnus say that his eyes are vacant yet filled with unknown, hungry desires.
The clear, luminous form of the good king disappeared into an endless darkness. Since that Day of the Tragedy, there has been no king, no servants to serve him, no knights or soldiers to defend the fortress in Gigantfall... They were no more.
