1. Prologue

A hundred years ago there was a holy war between the followers of Bahamut, the god of justice, and the demon lords of the Abyss. The war was long and bloody, lasting for twenty years, and many people became disenchanted with Bahamut and his followers. They turned instead to demons and devils.

There was a second great Holy War. The followers of Bahamut travelled around the world, killing anyone who was a follower of a demon lord. This war became known as the Great Purge. Now, almost everyone follows the temple of Bahamut.
