The black beam of energy that had erupted from Undead City an hour earlier, marking the World's Heart's recognition of the newly established Undead Empire, went unnoticed by most.
But in the heart of the Eldoria continent, where a colossal golden beam of light pierced the heavens, bathing the land in its perpetual glow, a change was felt.
High above the clouds, nestled atop the golden beam, stood a magnificent city, radiating an aura of divine power.
This was one of the three main cities of the Angel race on planet Astralon: the Central Holy City.
Its inhabitants weren't all true angels. Angel beasts, templar knights, and other creatures loyal to the Angel race also called this city home.
Even among the Angel race, there were commoners, born without the inherent strength and battle prowess of their winged brethren. They were, in many ways, indistinguishable from humans.
