Goethe Greyskies, nephew of the prominent Grand Prior of the Holy Kingdom of Granheim, renowned battle prodigy, armed and protected with the most expensive battle equipment of the king's second army, stood on the border between the "domain of the savannah" and the recently formed “Estado Mar-Mortem”.

During the fall of the Mar-Mortem Domain, the necromancers, mages, and warriors of the domain succeeded in inflicting casualties upon the soldiers of God. It was merely a display of Mother Death's power resting upon the conquerors. Some of our troops were dark-skinned elves with brilliant violet eyes, such as Cranium D'Gard the "Necromancer".

As for Grigor Mar-Mortem, "Priest of the Ancient Gods and Protector of the Moonstone", we witnessed his ability to extract power from the sacred stone.

The Potentates also carried sacred stones, though of a different kind. Five objects they carried on that occasion; five shafts of light illuminated the five objects, and five beings of light emerged like flames, descending from the sky to illuminate their surroundings. These beings were known as angels.

We have been erroneously called pagans, but the sacred verses of the sun and moon temples speak of us as the children of the earth. Our origins blend with the nature of those who arrived first on the great southern island.

The Potentates call elves and orcs "non-humans", but the truth is they are our brethren. In many northern realms you will find that we all coexist in peace and harmony with nature—our ultimate goal. I myself, Lucius Bolt, am half-elven and half-human.

The faith of the children of the earth has many currents leading us to the same end... just as fingers are part of the same hand. For instance, Cranium D'Gard the "Necromancer" could concentrate the remnant energy of those who had just died. Those bodies, still warm, emanated the energy the necromancer would use. Unlike the Potentates, the warriors and priests who are children of the earth use objects blessed by their gods, according to the ancient verses.

These sacred jewels have been passed down from generation to generation to concentrate vital energy, called by some Vitriol. Some say the blood of the gods has fallen upon these sacred objects, sealing immense power within them. Consequently, many sacred jewels could exist for each god.

Tale has it that when the Mother Goddess became pregnant by the sun, she gave birth to a daughter who was like volcanic lava. The blood of Mother Earth fell upon prized objects brought to rejoice her. These pieces shone with intense light like precious jewels, and the goddess left them as keepsakes for her devotees. Ever since, they have been known as the sacred jewels.

The legend of the gods of Granheim states that the jewels grant magnificent powers to their bearer, but if the sacred jewel in question is borne by one chosen by the gods, it will unleash unimaginable powers—though, of course, the latter has not happened in a thousand years.

It turns out that when the Eternal Mother ascended to the heavens, she never stopped watching over the earth; two tears of blood rolled down her cheeks and fell to the ground in the form of diamonds. When the twin moons shine high in the sky, their energy combines with the sacred jewels of the night eyes' tears. These jewels are a reminder that the gods still watch us from high in the heavens and grant us their power to live.

The sacred jewels are imbued with these powers and passed down through generations as relics for the free peoples. Even at their peak power, the vitriol of these relics can slay angels. And it was D'Gard and Grigor Mar-Mortem who were the first in the history of Granheim to slay angels with their gifts.

Regrettably, the sacred jewels were not enough to withstand the onslaught of the Holy Kingdom of Granheim's forces, and the rebels were left with only three endings: to be slain, to flee, or to face trial before Holyfort's regent, Karym Storm.
