Prologue
Ninety-eight years before the great Clensing War, Kalisandroes was known as the City of God. The City was one of the few massive cities in the known world, covering as much land as the island and a small country. It lay in a country of the same name and was traveled to often by many in doctrine and scriptures of the temple. People who believed would - at least once in a lifetime - come to pray in the City of God and before the High Priest. One traveler in particular, Osornius the Centurion, was known to all who held the scriptures in their heads. His coming was awaited by many, as they believed he was the one who God would follow.
His arrival to Kalisandroes was hailed as a great festive time to celebrate the prophecy that he carried in his long life. Things were not as they seemed, though, in the City of God. A dark plot had unfolded, leading to the mysterious death of the old King of Kalisandroes. His younger son was held accountable and imprisoned by his eldest who launched a civil war between those who were loyal to the scriptures and those loyal to the new king and the memory of his father. When tens of thousands of deaths lay in the wake, the king abolished the idea of God within Kalisandroes.
