It is said that there was a time when the sky had only one moon to shine. But the stories began from there, tells the tales of how the beings from a land called Earth ended up in an unknown land called Necrogan.

  When it happened, nobody knew what actually occurred. All but confused and perplexed, humans were left on the land—alone and cold, standing in the middle of a huge landscape overgrown with thick forest. Everyone stood under the night sky, illuminated by the shine of three moons.

  However, humans soon learned the dangers of this new land and adapted. The first thing they created was a stronghold. They cut down surrounding trees, marking the first act of artificial destruction in the land, and built a wall surrounding themselves from the outside dangers. Then, slowly, they built their society from the ground up, creating the place today known as Albion.

  Land of Kings, Heroes, and Villains

  With the birth of Albion, humans created a place to call home and a refuge to keep them safe. From there, they began to gather knowledge about this new land. Men with bravery in their hearts ventured out alone or in groups to explore and understand the world around them.

  Humans called these brave men the "Pathfinders."

  Soon, throughout Albion, the stories of the Pathfinders' discoveries spread like wildfire. A man named Alexander Won, great figure among the first batch of Pathfinders, recorded his experiences in the outside world in his journal.

  "We are in the middle of a deserted land, an empty land surrounded by a forest. It took us three whole weeks to get closer to the layer of trees we saw from afar. By the time we arrived, we had already run out of our supplies. With only one can of beans and a little water left on our side, we decided the correct choice was to head back home."

  It was the first knowledge humans gathered after the birth of Albion, teaching them to be better prepared before venturing out.

  Sir Alexander Won’s story could have continued—if only he had returned from his second journey. Even after countless Pathfinders followed the first one's trail, they never managed to discover what actually happened to the first Pathfinders.

  With the passing of years, Pathfinders ventured deeper into the world—and deeper into the forest, where they discovered a land called Featherland.

  The first to discover this land of feathers was the lone adventurer Rodrik Veymar. His notebook, which had passed through many hands, recorded his experience:

  "At first, I thought it was a land of clouds—or perhaps heaven itself. Some places were pink, some were gold, and others were pure white, like the feathers of a swan. Although curious, I did not rush to dive in. First, I observed my surroundings. The more I searched, the more I realized that this place was a vast and unimaginably massive feather from some kind of being. After a moment of astonishment, what overcame me was fear. The feather alone was larger than our home, Albion. And I couldn't fathom how much larger the beast to which this feather belonged must be."

  Sir Rodrik Veymar’s tale would also come to an end with his last note:

  "We are not alone."

  His notebook was found years later by the Pathfinders who followed after him. The group that became the first to witness another intelligent life form beyond Albion.

  When humans first arrived in this land, the dangers they faced came from the environment and mindless beasts. The poisonous air, the deep-sinking mud puddles, and the forests with knife-like branches. Tiny bugs that carried unknown diseases and wolf-like, flesh-hungry creatures forced them to come together and build Albion.

  But only when the next batch of explorers followed Sir Rodrik’s path did humans discover another being like themselves.

  "They came from within the feather and seemed to live inside it. If there's one thing I noticed when I saw them, it was their unbelievable beauty. It was hard to recognize which one was male or female, and I even wondered if these beings had different genders at all. But after observation, we saw that they showed affection to each other in a way similar to how we show our love."

  After this report reached Albion, it was revealed that the world as they knew it had changed. Since there was now another intelligent species, Albion decided to send an envoy to these unknown beings.

  At the same time, Albion named them "Plumaris."

  The envoy sent to the Land of Feathers did not go as planned. Though they appeared outwardly pure and beautiful, the Plumaris reacted with violence when they saw humans. With great difficulty, a report was sent back to Albion, stating that the Plumaris ate human flesh as a delicacy.

  Knowing the danger of the Plumaris, humans soon took action. The Pathfinders' journeys temporarily ceased, and an army was formed, filled with brave men and women. It was proven and widely believed that the first Pathfinders must have encountered the Plumaris and met an unfortunate fate. Rodrik, the one who discovered Featherland, likely suffered the same end.

  Encountering their first true enemy in this new land, humans waged war against the flesh-eating monsters.

  From then on began the Age of War and Heroes. Clearing the land, humans marched toward the Land of Feathers, where the Plumaris lived, starting a war that would last an entire twenty-six years.

  During this battle, humans realized that the Plumaris used unusual methods of fighting. Some had the ability to change into different shapes, similar to giant bears or wolves. Humans called these Plumaris "Shapeshifters." There were also those who could speak with trees and dance with the wind, slaughtering humans by stealing the air from their lungs and cutting them down with the razor-sharp veins of trees.

  Named Thryssian, these were among the most formidable opponents to face in battle. Other than them, there were Mawborns, who could silence the space around them; Throne Walkers, who could grow sharp, thorn-like limbs from their bodies; Hollowkin, who could create decoys of themselves; Palawhisps, who were invisible to the human eye; and Latticids, who could slip through anything.

  These were the same beings that humans named "The Unusual Ones." Along with their danger, these new beings also brought the knowledge of the supernatural to humanity. And, as it was a time of war, humans became more focused on wining the ongoing battle while pursuit of knowledge about the supernatural.

  In these Times. Sir Garrick Throne and Selene Throne, a lovely pair who also happened to be scientists from Earth, became the leading figures of studying the aspect known as the supernatural.

  As time passed, the tough times created strong humans. Sir Garrick and his partner, unfortunately, didn’t succeed as they had hoped. However, as a result of their experiment, the first great figure among the humans was born. Named Arthur Pendragon, the man became a symbol of the future of humankind. He had strong willpower, which, along with his courageous words, boosted the morale of every human on the battlefield. With him, they moved forward, crafting the first batch of human knights.

  Soon, more and more great figures were born: Sir Lancelot, who became the second-in-command to Arthur; Sir Azrial, who had exceptional skill in sword wielding; Sir Gabriel, Sir Uther, Sir Abraham the Third, Sir Jonathan, and Sir Vlad, who became known for his heroic deeds after the Battle of Bloodvalley.

  Strong men create easier times in war, and after twenty-six years of conflict, humans and Plumaris came to a standstill. Throughout the war, humans continued to push back the Plumaris who emerged from the forest, but afterward, the advance ceased, and the war continued between the two for ages.

  The forest is the home of the Plumaris, and their powers were greater within their domain. When humans tried to enter, the trees acted as the best defenders. When the Plumaris tried to enter, the spears and arrows of humans served as their best defense.

  Seeing the inability to advance, human leaders and Plumaris leaders ended the pointless war and came to a treaty. As long as humans never bothered the Plumaris, and wouldn't invade there territory, they wouldn't bother humans either, and neither would they eat the flesh of humans. That was the first and most important rule of the treaty.

  What followed was an age of silence and peace.

  Humans began to develop the land outside the forest, strengthening Albion and expanding its area. The Plumaris continued to live in the forest and never bothered humans afterward.

  As years passed, knowledge of the Plumaris and their extraordinary abilities became tales shared only by the fireplace out of boredom or to increase the curiosity of humans.

  However, the upper tiers of Albion continued to stay in contact with the rulers of the Plumaris, the Crown God of Feathers. After agreeing to another treaty, the Crown God of Feathers and human ruler Arthur Pendragon started the journey of the Pathfinders again, with the assistance of supernatural beings, to explore the land beyond the Great Forest of Feathers.
