The Branded Female Fencer

○ History

It has been about 1500 years since human history remained a historical fact. Even before that, humans existed, but there was little habit of setting their own records, and the area of survival was very limited, only along the east and west coasts and part of the Middle Plains on a continent where the protagonists were currently present. It should be noted that there are three large continents currently being found, with culturally different human races being discovered on the eastern continent, but we can hardly see the basis on which human races lived on the southern continent.

1500 years ago, mainly the demon kings held the dispatch of the continent, and their struggle for hegemony between them was the dominant one. It should be noted that the demon kings that existed in those days were indeed called hundreds. Incidentally, a demon king is broadly considered a demon that unites demons across races, but narrowly, he was also considered a demon king, such as one who could follow a multitude of demons, and one who alone but deviantly possessed mighty power.

Humans, elves, fairies and some giants who were in the minority in those days worked together, and it is assumed that paper making methods and recording techniques were passed on to humans at that time. It is also assumed that the human race was superior to other races, that they were very greedy to survive and learn, and that they took in the strengths of other races one after the other. It includes sorcery and language from the elves, pharmacology and nature from the fairies, iron making and construction from the dwarves, and martial arts and combat from the giants. Moreover, humans had great individual differences, and because they had various attributes and characteristics depending on the person they were born with, they were very diverse and resistant to changes in the environment was also a great advantage. Spirits with attributes of water, for example, were quickly extinct if they were chased through water fields, but humans dug wells and pulled water to survive.

And the humans were supposedly the first to turn back roughly 1,200 years ago. A young man named Dayadarn, who was close to the Titans, succeeded in conquering the Demon King for the first time. This fact was contacted throughout the continent as soon as possible through a fairy information network, which made the Demon King recognize that he was not immortal or anything else, but a being that humans could defeat. Since the Demon Kings still underestimated the humans at this stage, and because none of the Demon Kings were themselves aware that they would cooperate with each other, looking back in history, the Demon Kings turned to the rear.

Another 1000 years or so ago, some of the humans founded the concept of a state, and began to form a nation that would fight alongside the Demon King in captivity. The demon kings noticed the first of things here, but about half of them tried to take measures and engaged in hegemonic strife between demon kings. The humans took this gap and crusaded with the help of Sigmund, who was king of the Elves, and Fard, who was king of the Titans, as a priority from the demon king who seemed to be aware of the threat of the humans. It is also a time of continuous appearance of the heroic kings Graham, Titania the Sword Emperor and Zebaia the Brave, also spoken of in legend.

And about 700 years ago, humans have expanded their life prints considerably, leading to domination of about half the continent. Organizations such as the Arnelian Church and the Sorcery Society also appeared that spanned the nation, and actions were seen to actively mediate between nations. Here the number of demon kings had been reduced to roughly 100 or so, but those who remained were many strong, especially the six powerful demon kings, called the "Great Demon Kings" and the "War Period" for roughly 300 years from 650 years before the history of fighting them.

This battle ends with the total victory of the humans who wiped out the Great Demon Kings, but on the contrary the spirits and giants will be exhausted in successive battles and will gradually disappear from the tabular stage of history. It should be noted that many of the demon kings that survived have become hidden and inhabited so that they cannot be found by humans, and here the power map of humans and demons and demons has been completely reversed. However, the only difference between the demon kings and the humans is that they do not know to cooperate even if they can follow other races, so war becomes a construct of nature and "ourselves versus everything else," and it is no longer possible to reverse our position.

But the last Great Demon King crusade to show that the war period was over, this time a dispute arose between human states. In this era, the cooperative relationship between the state and the group will also falter, and the Arnelian Church and the Magic Church will remain neutral. In this, the Church of Olimpus was established in the West, which will deepen the conflict with the Church of Arnelia in the east. In addition, the Magic Church has been founded by various factions, which have become poorly supervised.

In this era, disturbed groups of hundreds of small States were united and called "dawn" until they fit into dozens of states today. The end of the dawn period was said to be about 20 years old, and very recently. The end of the dawn period was triggered by the emergence of a Great Demon King-like presence in humans and the outbreak of wars involving multiple nations. The battle of King Bramsell, the forbidden war of Herhard the Mage, the chaos of the great bandit Yapu, the rebellion of slave gladiator Zathermund, etc. comes to this. It is also at this time that the beasts began to claim their nation. Anyway, after all these wars and so on, the nations were exhausted and the feeling of abhorrence increased. There the Church of Arnelia and the Church of Sorcery mediate to the point where the nations reach a peace agreement.

After these streams, this is now the time to call it the "Taping Period", when countries are represented and have peace conferences once a year. But no one knows how long this era will last, and many point out that it is as brittle as walking on thin ice. The historians are also at the end of evaluating the last 20 years as "too quiet".
