Today, we will be covering the lore of significant heroes in the Heroic Legend of Eagarlnia, whose charming characters compose a symphony of sword and magic in the world they reside in. Due to the overwhelming number of heroes in the game, we will only choose a few major characters to cover. If you want to know the backstory of somebody or faction next time, please leave a comment below~
Eslotian Empire
The Eslotian Empire was founded by Knight King Belial Abhoth, the same king who overthrew the corrupt Atlas bloodline, saved the world from disaster by the Umbral Legion, and achieved victory during the Second Liberation War. Since Belial was a devout follower of the goddess Ella, Ellaism had been made the state religion since the establishment of his new Empire. During his reign, the king advocated for freedom, resulting in the freedom of all the slaves in his territory. At the same time, he divided the entire Land of Laud into 23 distinct territories, where his sons and the Thirteen Knights who followed him became its new lords. With an advanced political system and the support of wise ministers, the empire flourished under Belial’s rule, who would later be acknowledged as Holy King of the Empire.
Lenna Abhoth
Age: 24
Faction: Reclamation Army
Command: Soldier and Spearman Troops
While Lenna is recognized for her stellar performance as the heir apparent of the Eslotian Empire, she's not in the least ladylike. Expressing no interest in neither the fine nor performing arts — let alone literature — she instead became quite proficient with bladed weapons and firearms, and even sought to join the Order of the Assur Knights. She was officially inducted into their holy order during her coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 18. For as long as she could remember, King Harrison always worried about the state of his empire. This motivated her to do everything she could in order to become stronger, and thus, share his burden of the crown. Following the Empire's collapse, Lenna resolved to uphold her late father's responsibilities and realize his ideal vision of what the country should be. By eliminating the root of the Empire's corruption, she seeks to bring an end to all wars and return peace and prosperity to the people.
Falerens, home to the Order of the Assur Knights, was originally the holy city of the Eslotian Empire and the main headquarters of the Church of Ayla. Upon hearing of Percival's fall, heir apparent Princess Lenna Abhoth swiftly rallied the troops of the Eslotian Empire to gather within the city of Falerens, where she had been serving as a knight. Loyalists such as Theodore Royce, the Cardinal Mastermind, and Revati Bernt, the Grand Marshal of the Empire, were the few among many that responded to the call to arms, thereby establishing the Reclamation Army. Given her outstanding abilities, simple living habits, and integrous character, many similarities were drawn between the crown princess and the esteemed "Holy King'' Belial, enabling her to earn the overwhelming support of the Eslotian people. With great conviction, they believe that only Lenna can bring an end to the war and deliver peace and prosperity back to the nation.
Currently, the Reclamation Army not only needs to defend themselves against the invading armies of Nubidia, but to also be wary of a surprise attack from the Imperial Guard, a new faction assembled by none other than Lenna's own unscrupulous brother Prince Eno, that lie in wait within the city of Mecaslin. They must tread carefully in this precarious situation if they wish to restore peace and reclaim the fractured territories of the Eslotian Empire.
Eno Abhoth
Age: 20
Faction: Royal Guard
Command: Spearman Troops
Much like his older sister Lenna, Prince Eno took an interest in the arts of weaponry and firearms in his youth. However, the difference between them was worlds apart, for the young prince could not match his sister's natural talents and skill in combat. Eno's personal competitions with Lenna always ended miserably on his end, painting him as ungifted and ultimately unworthy to succeed the throne. Unfortunately, his unwillingness to submit and be outdone by his sister would foster a deep and bitter jealousy for her later in his life. As an adult, contentions between the two would rise by the day, further deteriorating their already-fragile familial relationship.
Prior to the Nubidian invasion, Prince Eno Abhoth and a number of noble politicians quietly evacuated from the royal capital city of Percival. Under the protection of the Imperial Guard led by General Schilder Craft, the assembled nobility strategically took refuge in the nearby city of Mecaslin. However, it was not loyalty to the prince that brought them here, but a common interest in exploiting one another for their own personal gain.
Fueled by their own ulterior motives, the corrupt nobility unanimously elected Eno to inherit the now-empty Eslotian throne. Fortunately, the prince cleverly took advantage of their intentions and swore his legitimacy to the throne and oath as future king. Thus, the Imperial Guard established itself as the "true" Imperial Army, with Mecaslin serving as its central base of operations in addition to Veridis Castle. With the backing of the reformed Imperial Guard, Eno formally denounced his older sister's formation of the Reclamation Army as an act of rebellion against the Eslotian Empire. In the eyes of the common people however, it is the prince and his entourage that are the true usurpers of the kingdom. But nonetheless, in a turbulent world where the victor becomes king, anything can change...
Anecia Abhoth
Age:14
Faction: Recovery Army
Command: Mage Troops
Unlike her elder siblings, Anecia is a courteous and graceful individual, and has been a quiet girl ever since she was young. She doesn't desire power, but instead dreams of becoming a mage much like her esteemed mentor, Theodore Royce. With a voice as gentle as the breeze, she possesses an exquisite appearance in the likeness of starlight as well as fair and delicate skin that can be compared to milk. Early in her childhood, Anecia became a follower of Sin, the Dark God of the Moon. By the age of 10, she had been able to resonate with the deity and was capable of using its power to shroud herself from mortal sight. Although the relationship between Eno and Lenna continues to deteriorate, they still deeply love and care about their youngest sister.
Theodore Royce
Age:46
Faction: Recovery Army
Command: Mage Troops
Theodore, a high-ranking archmage of the Mage Guild, is a perfectionist by nature who always enjoys doing things in an unconventional manner. He's also very generous, helping the poor and those in need, as well as delivering justice to those who deserve it. Despite hailing from a wealthy family, Theodore led a thrifty and seclusive lifestyle while often traveling alone. Early on, he enjoyed a peaceful life with his assistant Peter Bruno at a coastal town located in Doz, where their three-story residence overlooked the Glass Sea. He was deeply esteemed by the local residents, who often consulted him for advice regarding law, agriculture, and even the education of their children. As a wandering adventurer, Theodore met Prince Harrison and the knight Revati Bernt, and the three eventually grew to become true friends to one another. Harrison in particular believed there was more to him than what met the eye, and was not in the least disappointed to discover that great aspirations correlating to his own lay underneath the mage's indolent appearance. After Harrison ascended to the throne, Theodore served as a court mage for the new king and acquired membership to The Silver Key. He was eventually promoted to Court Archmage of the Eslotian Empire, a position he continues to hold to this day.
