"Jin-Ryu Seneki", the battle between man and dragons has lasted for thousands of years, and now the battle between men continues on the Continent of Ereb...

The Night before the Conflict
>> Before the invasion of Bern, the continent was in peace. Although there were regular riots and fights within the country, they were all of small scale and very common. Therefore, many of the people were not aware of the battle that they were going to be dragged into. However, men knew that death is coming soon. Fires and battles were seen just across the border, and they were continuously expanding across the land. This was the beginning of the conflict in Bern.

Bern's Swift Tactics
>> The origin of the war was the big empire in the eastern part of the continent of Ereb - Bern. Under the command of their king, Zefhyr, the skilled dragonknights of Bern started off across the border. Invasion started. With their fast flying speed, the dragonknights began to attack the two countries that were most threatening to them, and to have those as their main headquarters. In a short while, Sacae and Ilia were both defeated.

The Battle in Araphen
>> After Sacae and Ilia were down, Bern began its invasion to Lycia. However, Lycia was not tactless. As the Bern army started to conquer the lands near the border, the Pherae army succeeded in defeating them. As well, the lord of Ostia came to help with his army. The Ostia army had a battle with the Bern army under Zefhyr, and they lost. The Ostia lord was then killed.

Lycia in danger
>> The head of the Lycia Union was lost. The Bern army formed a Crusader in Ostia because of the death of its lord. It was led by General Legans of Ostia, but was defeated by the son of the Lycia lord - Roy. After this, the army of Ostia surrounded the Bern army.

Etruria joined
>> Etruria could not watched silently as Bern attack their lands, so in response to Lycia's call for help, Etruria sent its reinforcements to Ostia. The Etruria army had a direct battle with the Bern army, till the Bern army retreated. After Lycia was fred from danger, in place of the leader of Lycia Union, the lord of Pherae signed a treaty with Etruria, that they would protect Etruria.

Ongoing
>> After Bern retreated from Lycia, they remained silent for a while and stopped their invasion. This is the end of the conflict in Bern.

The Collapse of Etruria
>> To the west of Etruria were the three small islands of Fibernia, Caledonia and Thia. Together they were known as the Three Western Islands. These islands were under the rule of Etruria, but Etruria left them in the care of a president. The president of these islands, Algard took a lot of wealth from the citizens, and getting far from the purpose of the kingdom. Knowing that Etruria had collapsed during the war, these three islands begain their own independence acts. The mourning of the citizens reached Etruria, and together with Lycia, armies were appointed to defeat the thieves and pirates. Lycia had its army resigned in the Three Western Islands, tracking down the president. It was discovered that the president had connections with Bern, and he fled. After the Three Western Islands were calmed down, the capital of Etruria, Aquleia had its own crusader formed.

The Crusader Acts
>> After the Etruria army left, Algard went secretly back to the Three Western Islands. He was bribed by Bern's minister, Rowan, and led the Bern army into the islands. The General of Magic, Cecilia rose as a counter-crusader army, as well as the Great Commander, General Perceval. However they were defeated, and Nabata, the southern part of the continent were conquered. The Crusader got help from the Bern army and went after Cecilia, who joined forces with the Lycia Union and escaped.

Formation of the New Etruria Army
>> The Lycia army joined forces with the Etruria army, and together they headed north to Nabata desert. With the help from the religious organization The Order of Erimine, they succeeded in taking back Aquleia. After the counter-crusader, Lycia and Etruria became a joined army. Roy was appointed as the commander of this new army. He addressed the army as the Etruria Army and started off towards Bern.
