If asked to name the greatest nation in Soleil, anybody would cite the Grantzian Empire. If asked to name the second, however, answers would be more varied. Some would cite Faerzen, the now-ruined champion of the west. Others would reply with the relatively young Grand Duchy of Draal. The álfar-ruled Vanir Triumvirate with its illustrious history. The Republic of Steissen and its technological prowess. Or, last but not least, Six Kingdoms, a nation born from a maelstrom of strife.

Six Kingdoms was, as its name implied, made up of six smaller nations that differed vastly in culture, values, and schools of thought. Some were diligent, like the álfar. Some were carefree, like the beastfolk. Some, like humans, coveted honor and glory. These differences had often led to squabbles. Whenever strife broke out, however, the High King of Greif had always been there to intercede and salve the belligerents’ outrage.

The High King’s words carried weight for good reason. Greif was the first and oldest of the kingdoms. Yet those words concealed a long and complex history. Six Kingdoms had emerged from the third emperor’s racial purges when his brother had fled west after a failed rebellion. In time, that brother had founded Greif and granted the descendents of the Black Hand kingdoms of their own, rewarding their loyalty for accompanying him in exile and ensuring their legacy would be preserved. That was the root of the High King’s authority and the reason the people of the other nations obeyed his will.

The capital of Greif was Fierte. With a wide ocean to the west, the port city had grown rich on maritime industry and trade. It had historically made a point of welcoming other cultures and other peoples, creating a citizenry that was free and open-minded, even if some accused them of lacking individuality.

Atop a hill a short distance from the city proper stood the High King’s palace. A sturdy wall stood at the foot of the hill to repel would-be invaders, garrisoned by troops from all six kingdoms. Farther up the road was a second wall, the last bastion of defense before the palace itself. This was manned exclusively by soldiers of Greif, and to become a member of this “palace guard” was one of the highest honors members of its military could hold. Every new recruit dreamed of one day standing atop that hill.

Now, however, that last bastion was wreathed in flame. Black smoke rose skyward, causing uproar among the troops watching from below.

Two people faced one another in the courtyard. A black-haired boy with golden eyes stood with a sword in each hand. His stance was relaxed, but his presence alone, while somehow faint, left no doubt as to the threat he posed. His name was Hiro Oguro. A thousand years ago, he had challenged the world at the first emperor’s side, winning himself the name of Mars in the process. Now, he was the second king of the nation of Baum, said to be small in breadth but large in stature, and he called himself Surtr.
