Meteo Chronicles R

Story

Long ago, there stood a great kingdom, a kingdom like no other. It was called Arcadia, a place where no man toiled and all the races lived in peace. However, all good things must to come an end. A blood red meteor, some say a comet, descended upon the land, bringing great destruction and spreading horrific beasts called terrors everywhere. Thus, Arcadia was reduced to ruin, her technology lost, and from her ashes rose two great empires. Ferngulf, who worshiped the 12 seraphim of old, and Morda Vael, who worshiped science and the ancient technology left behind, giving rise of magitek. Throughout the years these two kingdoms waged many a battle, and through this civil unrest superstition and suspicion grew in the hearts of man. A prophet then appeared from the mists of time, their vision dire. "The crimson calamity shall return" they said, and all who heard it were consumed with dread. This prophet gained much power and influence in the empire. Their power unrivaled, they built a massive superweapon that stretched into the sky. They called it "The Tower of Babel." Many people across the world began to fear the weapon, one such being a man known as Baron Ozma. He sought to raise an army to take over the entire world, to create a new order where the strong rule over the weak. However, there is a child who will bring justice to the land. A child bearing the firebrand, mark of Valfa's chosen. A child who will defeat the baron and prevent the coming calamity. And his name is...

...Koros.
