The Conquest of Terrastria - The Revelation's Saga

During sunset, a fierce battle took place between one of the battalions of the Order of Academic Knights and the rebels of the Student Union. Initially, Sarah of Alvanista, one of the order’s leaders, tried to negotiate with the unionist rebels, but they, at the peak of their arrogance, rejected any proposal made by her, thus proceeding to attack. Sarah and her battalion bravely defended the Rectory, resisting until the rest of the academic troops could defeat the main body of the Unionist army.

It is after the end of the battle and the withdrawal of the Unionist troops that we meet the central figure of our story: the tifferine Friedrich of Merôndia. He was the commander of the order, chosen by Rectoress Lucia Hellene of Dalânia herself to take care of the protection of the institution and the well-being of the students.

At the time, the appearance of a tifferine in the public sphere was seen as a prelude to disgrace, as they are known for their nonconformity with social norms, demanding change and freedom at all costs. It was visible that, with the choice of Friedrich to command one of the most important cavalry orders in the country, Lucia Hellene sought to bring real changes to academic society.

Like his past, Friedrich’s personality was a mystery. Publicly, he always showed himself to be cold and distant, even with Sarah, his girlfriend at the time. His expression was always serious and his words were harsh and cruel. He did not seem to care about the feelings of those around him, assembling his plans and strategies always skeptically and pragmatically. His intelligence was remarkable, rivaled only by that of his closest friends, who seemed to instigate joy in Friedrich, no matter how much he tried to hide it when seen by eyes that shouldn’t.

For their efforts in battle, Friedrich and Sarah were decorated by Lucia Hellene with Medals of Honor. A ceremony filled with tension and silence, seen as unfair by the public, who blamed Friedrich for the attack. Before he could take action, as he always did, news that “the lifeless bodies of Maristelle and Edmund, Sarah’s parents, were found in the basement of the Rectory” was brought to the public, who immediately demanded the arrest of the order’s commander.

When they arrived at the basement of the Rectory, which until then was sealed and hidden, Friedrich and Sarah had a vision of the scene: a closed room with an open sarcophagus, whose lid is covered in blood. In addition, the bodies of Sarah’s parents were knocked down and full of combat marks. There was no idea of what had happened, nor who was guilty of such an attack. Academic society clamored for Friedrich to be punished for these crimes, but the rectoress did not listen, giving more traction to the media and the unionists, who spread the latest events throughout the world, further destabilizing Terrástria.

The fuse was prepared, it only lacked a spark, a spark that would offer the terrastrian nations another chance to wage war...
