MAIN THEME: MARCH OF THE CRESCENT ALLIANCE​

SYNOPSIS

Apocryphal Fantasia takes place in a large chaotic world called Apocryium, divided by three authoritative empires who are consistently at war against one another. Before the beginning of what would later become the Fourth Divine Conflict, enmity was the only source of tension between the triumvirate nations — until another massive war was fated to occur.

  WORLD OF APOCRYIUM
  
  [INSERT MAP HERE]
  
  

  The World of Apocryium boasts three large landmasses along with a high island located in the middle, surrounded by the three major empires of Apocryium. Each of these lands are resourceful and culturally constructed, with Exultius known for possessing the most hegemonic power over the three nations, along with fierce military power that has been difficult to rival since ancient times. The main storyline takes place on the Sovereignty of Exultius.
  
  CULTURE & HISTORY
  As a result of the limitless wars the world was abused with, the exact age of the sentient world is unknown. However, the Sovereignty of Exultia, the Holy Arctheus Empire, and the Astaroth Imperium share one of the same calendar — known as the Apocryium Calendar, with the world currently following through with its 16th century, year 1530.
  
  The Sovereignty of Exultia is an imperialistic empire that holds onto the values of militant aggression and world domination through force. Comprised of the dragon hierarchy, the highest authoritative seat belongs to the Dragon God Zeroticus, an ancient primordial dragon who influenced the draconic philosophies to his people, ultimately forming a nation of courage and fierce combat prowess. As a theocratic/stratocratic empire, the color crimson and red is painted everywhere around the nation.
  
  Outside of Exultius, stands two kingdoms with their own fair share of xenophobic culture. The Holy Arctheus Empire is the human alliance that boasts the largest population amongst Apocryium, including their extraordinary weapons technology that compensates for their weak physical bodies. Its alliance was ultimately formed after their own countless civil wars against one another, later forming a unity that was founded after being the victims of a larger threat, the demons, and the dragons who ravaged their fields with flames and cursed magic.
  
  Per contra, the Astaroth Imperium is mildly different compared to its rivals. They are an aristocratic empire with the greatest magical capabilities in the world, with impressive strength and military power that reigned supreme during the 6th century until their downfall from the superpower status after the First Divine Conflict. Since then, the Astaroth Imperium practices chauvinism to the highest degree, radiating an intense amount of fascism across the world of Apocryium with their hatred towards the dragon for the most part, for stealing their magic.

[Notyour_Sonic]

Just stumbled upon this, looks pretty cool! The idea that war has been so frequent and devastating that the world’s true age is unknown is a great thing. It gives the idea that Apocryium is in a perpetual cycle of fight, making peace seem like an impossibility. Like Warhammer!
