Story

One thousand years ago, a comet possessing special energies crashed into this world. The planet's axis was thrown out of balance and many countries suffered great floods. The impact of the collision threw dust clouds into the air and blocked off all sunlight from the planet's surface, plunging the world into an artificial winter that lasted for decades.

Survivors raced to build floating cities in an effort to reach the warmth and light of the sun. It was during this time when a new source of energy called Lens was developed from the core material of the deadly comet.

The discovery of Lens and further research fueled rapid advances in technology, and Dycroft, an Aeropolis (a city in the sky) was completed within the short span of a year. However, only a select few were chosen to live in the Aeropolis, leaving the general population to remain on the cold, desolate, glacier-covered surface of the planet.

As time passed, those who lived on the Aeropolis came to call themselves the Aethereans and began their rule over the E'rthers, or the unfortunate outcast masses who lived on the surface. The Aethereans eventually developed the Belcrant, a powerful and lethal weapon of mass destruction designed to punish the E'rthers who resisted their rule.

In time, E'rthers rebelled against the despotic rule of the Aethereans, thus beginning a full-scale war called the Aeth'er Wars. Although the Aethereans had an overwhelming advantage over the E'rthers at first, a group of Aetherean scientists who developed the deadly Belcrant defected to the surface out of their hatred for the despotic, elitist Aetherean regime. This was a pivotal moment in history that turned the tide against the Aetherians.

These scientists brought their knowledge of the latest Lens technologies and applied it to the development of the ultimate weapon, the Swordian- a sword weapon imbued with sentience. These weapons finally enabled the E'rthers to resist the Aeropolis.

Thanks to the valiant efforts of warriors known as the Swordian Masters and their Swordians, scores of Aeropolis were destroyed and sunk to rest in the depths of the deepest seas. In the end, the E'rthers claimed victory over the Aetherians.

Some several hundred years after the Aeth'er Wars ended, people forgot about this terrible war and the Aethereans. In the meantime, the Swordians entered into stasis sleep since they were no longer required to fight the Aetherians. The Swordians would remain in their self-imposed sleep until they were called upon to battle evil once again...
