At the dawn of the 4th Era, the entire Western Continent was in a constant state of warfare and turmoil. There were numerous kingdoms in the continent that were forever waging wars against their neighbors and vying for supremacy.
The period of unchanging warfare lasted for over a century and was known as the Age of Blood. Countless kingdoms fell and many more were founded. The mortality rate at the time for men was no more than thirty years old.
That was a time period when the moment someone was born, they would be trained to become warriors and fight for their respective kingdoms. Over the span of a century, billions of people died in battle.
This was a time of blood, death, and conflict. It was during such a time of bloodshed that the continent gave birth to a sovereign. The lands were in chaos for a long time and now longed for peace. And thus, in an unassuming part of the continent, a child with great destiny was born.
