"Pushed to your mental and physical limits, this is the time when everyone reveals their true self. All your masks and pretensions are torn from your psyche and what is left is only the real you.
Sometimes you can be selfless and noble, but often you are just weak and selfish like almost every other person is when pushed to the breaking point - it all depends on how far you can be pushed before you start to break..."

In this place, you'll learn the truth...
How some people can be so uncaring, unloving... and so ruthless...
How some people can continuously and repeatedly hurt the people they fight alongside with...
How can they feel absolutely no remorse and guilt for doing things that hurt their own friends.
How can they just stand around, doing nothing while watching their comrades fight a losing battle against evil.
...
Simply the sight of this place brings much grief and despair.
The people lament the happiness that they've lot.
They cry for the ones living and suffering, and they mourn the unrestful spirits of the dead....
Now, the people come together to witness the end of a dynasty, the fall of a great kingdom...
The fall of the Kay Kingdom.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 3 Pillars (三大支柱) - The original upholders of law and order during the early tribal days of the Kay Knights. They were removed from power and reincarnated during the " 7 Eclipse", which indirectly lead to the beginning of the Circle internal strife.
The Warden (守望者) - Inherited most of the power after the collapsing of the 3 pillars. The mastermind behind a majority of changes in the Kay Kingdom at the start of the Great War...
Black & White Trio (黑白无常) - Some of the oldest masters of the Kay Kingdom. They are the last 2 persons to be reincarnated in the 7th Eclipse.
Blade Dancer (舞将) - Practises a powerful swordplay art derived from a folk dance.
13 Chariots (十三军骑) - The last group of knights inducted during the village days. They went through a lot of hardship and can be considered to be the ones to lay the foundation for the New Circle in the Imperial City after the move. On the other hand, they were also the root of most troubles..
10 Crusaders (十烈士) - The first group of knights to be inducted into the New Circle. Without them, the Kay Kingdom wouldn't have last for this long...
6 Dragoons (六旗兵) - The 6 dragoons arrived just before the start of the Great War and went through the exchange of leadership...
4 Swordsman (四剑客) - The last group of knights before the 8th Eclipse.
5 Gardeners (五园丁) - First knights of the "New Order".
9 Fighters (九战士) - The main group of knights to replace those of the "Old Order"... The future fate of the Kay Knights will depend on them...

After Chief Kingfisher left the Kingdom, the power and unity of the circle declined rapidly. One of the Kay Generals, possessed by evil spirit, seized the chance to usurp power during the exchange of leadership. He rose to the position of the Kay Minister within months and brought about great sufferings to its people. Higher taxes, more violence and slavery. Countless homes were destroyed and thousands of lives were lost.
This was the tumultuous Warring States Period (春秋战国). The Kingdom split into 4 States from this division of power and the people of the circle were separated into each of them. Not only did they have to defend themselves against the external evil force, they had to deal with their own people as well...
The greatest Illusionist of that time was banished into the depths of the Great Dungeon after his plot was revealed. More and more of the knights fell as the enemies continued their relentless assault. It spells the ultimate downfall of the kingdom.
During the 8th Eclipse, a powerful wizard managed to purge the evil spirit from the dark minister body, or so the legend says. What exactly happened is unclear; Some said the Evil Spirit was eradicated. Others said it possessed another being... The scariest theory was that the Spirit had transformed itself into another human being... and continues to wreck havoc within the Kay Kingdom...

...
To this date, no one can confirm whether the Kay Kingdom actually exists or not. It sounds totally like a fantasy tale, but records do show signs of its existence. Unfortunately, no one can verify in which era or which part of the human timeline it actually occurs. Some experts speculate that the civilization may actually have been formed in another world, or more specifically - another dimension.
They refer to this world as the "Nether" or the "Stygian" dimension. (Translated as "Dark Hell")...
...
It appears that when a person meets a certain set of criteria, he will be "teleported" to this Dimension. Upon reaching this dimension, his soul will be drained from his body, and he will stay in this world until he completed his "mission".
When the moment arrives, the person will walk through the "Portal Of Reincarnation", and returned to the real world...

The Final Letter
"Today, I fought my final battle, and breath my last. I can no longer fight alongside my comrades anymore.
My mission is over, and soon, my time in this world. But the fight against evil will continue on...
The Kay Kingdom will continue its epic & relentless battle against evil.
...
My story has ended.
My legend has ended.
But the story of the Kay Kingdom will continue on...
The Legend of Kay Kingdom will live on...
Till eternity..."
