Once upon a time, the world was divided in two according to the mandate of heaven, but was restored to its former self by the Chosen of Regeneration. In place of the Giant Kharlan Tree that had been destroyed in ancient times, a new World Tree was born.
With the reunited new world came the birth of new chaos. Before the world was restored, the world of Tethe'alla was prosperous, while the world of Sylvarant was in decline. This gap in civilization only brought division among the people as time went on.
... a massive massacre known as the Blood Purge occurred in retaliation to the activities of the Vanguard, a resistance group called the Sylvarant Liberation Front. The town where this tragedy occurred, Palmacosta, was consumed in flames, and many innocent lives were lost. The man who carried out this tragic deed was Lloyd and was sanctioned by the Church of Martel.
Two years after the world's rebirth, in a corner of the now-united world ruled by chaos, the actions of the resistance group called the Sylvarant Liberation Front, The Vanguard, caused a massive retaliation known as "The Blood Purge." The town where this tragedy occurred, Palmacosta, was consumed in flames, and many innocent lives were lost. The man who carried out this tragic deed was Lloyd, of the Church of Martel.
The Blood Purge left one boy with an incurable wound on his heart. His name is Emil. Having lost both his parents and his hometown, all he has left is his hatred for Lloyd.
