The year 842 would mark the beginning of the end.

In an act of unprovoked aggression, the Militesi Empireinvaded the Dominion of Rubrum. Imperial dreadnoughtsswarmed the skies, assailing the unsuspecting nation inthe name of the White Tiger. From amidst the flamesof the besieged dominion, the Vermilion Bird rose indefiance, her Crystal granting magic and mighty Eidolonsthat her disciples might cast out their technologicallyadvanced aggressors.

Just when it seemed as though the day might be won,however, all would soon be lost. Thrust into the tumult of

war, the fate of the world and its four Crystals now restson the shoulders of fourteen brave young warriors.

Unto the world, the Crystals shall bestowa savior— Agito.
