°• ...for dust you are, and to dust you shall return. —Genesis 3:19— •°

Do not mourn like the rest of Mankind for their prayers were never heard during their living but only on their death bed. So stubborn were they to accept that it is forbidden to disturb the dead that they tampered with the devil. Ironically, the need to consult the dead has brought them death. It came in the form of a disease — the Honkai. Thus was formed the Valkyrie guilds, governed by a great archpriest and Overseer from the Apocalypse family. From these guilds was born the scythe-wielders of the highest order, the Immortal Blades, who had sworn their allegiance to the Schicksal church.

As spirits we travel in groups, soaring the lands of the infected and bringing in the healthy ones as refugees. We have now fought against the Honkai for half a millennium, resisting the curse of the corruption. Our ancestors did so and we shall do so too until the end of times. The flesh is mortal, our souls will remain asleep until the judgement time but our loyalty will never die.
