This was a promise made millennia ago.

The one to unify the world will bring upon an age of prosperity unlike any other. Their reign will continue until eternity itself ends. The kingdom to achieve this unity will be forever remembered as the eternal symbol of the world. The one who fulfills this covenant shall be granted the right to bring the world into this new golden era.

Because of this promise, the kingdoms of the land are preparing for war. Each and every one of them wish to be the fulfiller of the Promise of Ancient. The chance to go down in history eternally is not a chance many would easily pass up. But is conquest truly the route to bringing about this supposed gilded era? Or was this prophecy merely a myth spun together by the bards and storytellers of the age? All one knows is that it was found in an ancient ruin, buried underneath the turbulent seas. Engraved on the stone tablet were the words of the Promise.

Unify the land, and thou shall rule.

Bring forth peace, and prosperity will last.

Embrace all that the world has to offer, and achieve greatness.

Rest in eternity, engraved within the world itself.

The entire world will hail you as king.

This era will be eternal, never-ending.

Bring forth the second paradise of Eden.

Certainly, this was an intriguing myth. An eternal empire and the chance to rule it for all eternity. What kingdom could possibly pass up such a tantalizing future? Like moths drawn to a bright flame, each and every world ruler loomed over the stone tablet as it was brought forth from the abyssal depths of the sea. Just who was this king of promise, destined to lead the world?

Nobody knows, for the tablet never specified any name or individual. The only hint was that it would be the unifier of the world. And every empire and kingdom had a chance at that opportunity.

The world is plunged into war for the chance of glory, preserved in the amber of history until time itself ended.

But there is one question. What if there is no chosen king of promise, or eternal era destined for Elrios? Is this all a fabrication by the words of man, or is it the supreme law of a higher deity? And if this vow is a lie, who shall be held accountable for the destruction that is to follow because of it?

Is it because the greed of mankind drove the world, or is it the desire for dominance? Perhaps it is the luring chance of glorious splendor, or the endless riches that might follow?

But if the world falls into ruin because of this promise,
Who shall be accountable?
As ties are forged and bonds are broken,
The angels above and demons below spectate this grand war.
Who is the king of promise?
And what else lies within the temple of the sea?
What shall the kingdoms give for this chance of eternity?
Who shall be the one to weigh the punishment?
And who shall carry it out?

This is the story of Kings and Queens.
