Hey guys, I know a lot of you are excited for Set 12 so I decided to post some of the translated flavor text and quotes (official, but not final) that I have sitting right in front of me. Enjoy!

He is the very being who Abel, founder of the True God Church, was seeking. As the culimination of the True God Church's cardinals' Living God Project, he uses his overwhelming power to return Elgandi to another world.

Solar General / Zagar

'The fighting is over…but will we really be at peace in the future?'

The Solar Kingdom's high general. He was victorious against the Abyssal Forces, and the marriage of Verlaat and Eskatia signified the end of the War of the Sun and Moon.

The young man who defeated the Goddess of Darkness, Noze. His efforts changed the course of the battle for the fate of the world. If Noze managed to reach Elgandi, the outcome of the battle would have been different. After the fight he disappears from the stage of history, but in the legends he's known as the Crimson Hero.

Noze, having absorbed Galdirea, had become the goddess of darkness. She had use her own power to make servants to defeat the hero Dilate, but they were all beaten and she was forced into a corner. Then, before she could reach her master Elgandi, she was stopped by the Crimson Hero and his companions. She was to be used by Elgandi as a device to manipulate causality. It appears history would have taken a very different turn had she managed to arrive at the final showdown.

Multisphere

New God of Evil / Elgandi

'Game over for me, huh…? …Well, looks like I'm not going to die, I'll have extra lives in the next world.'

Elgandi is banished by the power of a being of light who suddenly appears. Unable to return to his original world, what kinds of evil deeds will he commit in this world he's been banished to? His final words are 'Even with me gone, this world won't be at peace. In fact, you'd probably have been happier if I'd become your god. Not that you know what I mean... yet.' The meaning of this becomes clear twenty years later.

Guide of Causality / Fellana

'This is the gate that takes you to the gods of the world. …Just one more step forward, and you can become a god.'

Fellana was abducted and taken to Elgandi when the Wizard Kingdom collapsed. Together with Sumer, she opened the gate of causality for Elgandi. Why she did this for him is unknown, but it seems something Sumer said to her had some influence.

Keeper of Causality / Sumer

'Eeh-hehe, this is a crossroad of destinies. Now, the rest is a race against time.'

Sumer was researching the laws of cause and effect under Elgandi. As Fellana cooperates with her in this, they succeed in opening the door to causuality. However, the Sumer who was helping Elgandi turned out to be a fake, a body double made by the real her. She said to Fellana 'I'm waiting in the arms of fate', and then she vanished.

Alright that's it, I hope you enjoyed reading up on the stories and background of our newest set's character cards!

[Peralisc9001]

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

So have you thought of some skills that resemble drunk lapiere?
Also from the story and pictures, Elgandi reminds me of Aizen from bleach. Am i the only one who feels this way?

[Romdeau]

Regarding Elgandi, that's a pretty spot on comparison. Story wise and his art, he seems to be quite similar. And as for Lapierre's drunkness and her skills...well we really don't pay too much attention to that sort of thing. She is quite strong though, rest assured.

[DeeGee]

So I suppose the story picks up 20 years later with evil Verlaat?

[Khiruki]

So Violet was working for the Church. Traitor dolly still cute though.

.....IBERT DIES? D:

[DeeGee]

So Violet was working for the Church. Traitor dolly still cute though.

.....IBERT DIES? D:

I'd consider working for a sect of the church not named Gilensa a lot less evil than working for the abyssal forces. Seems Ibert's one of the people that gets X_x'd by evil Verlaat.

[Peralisc9001]

A church can and does offer misguiding teachings. You are supposed to follow like a sheep and not ask too many questions that undermine their already flawed logic.

Why doesn't any religion / religious person ever tell you do some research and form your own opinion. Imo best representative for evil is the church.


Also if you check the flavor text you should notice this bit:

The Envoy of Chaos did make a good 'villain', though.

And if you read the history of religions you'll find upsetting facts. See what i found most interesting is how pagan elements were introduced into christianity to gain more believers. @_@

[InfernityFan]

The hell, what's up with those lots of "20 years later...". I hate cliffhanger ;_; Still, thanks for sharing Rom!

[Callonia]

does that means the text where characters talk to each other in mid battle is coming back? cuz we've been missing them for few sets now.

[DeeGee]

The hell, what's up with those lots of "20 years later...". I hate cliffhanger ;_; Still, thanks for sharing Rom!

You know...timeskips? It seems this is the end of the threadbare story we've had A1, which was war between sun and moon->battle for holy realm->fall of WK->battle Elgandi.
