The knight squads in Platonis are generally called ‘fighters’. They are composed of
various classes of people from the underprivileged and the nobles. Everyone who
is intelligent and strong is qualified to join the group.
Fighters, all of whom are tall, masculine, and handsome, are trained in battle and
magic. They are not only good at fighting but accumulate enough knowledge about
various fields such as philosophy, politics, history, and magic. Therefore, lots of the
nobles in Platonis are joining the group. They are the key power group controlling
Platonis, whose prestige can’t be damaged even by the king.
The knight squad was first established by Zarkarias Larson in A.C. 593. Originally,
warriors couldn’t use magic, solely relying on physical strength. At that time, they
were involved in the third Tartanos war (the Coellis sect calls it ‘the Militis War’),
during which the Macuapel sect threatened the Coellis sect by mobilizing its strong
warriors. Magicians couldn’t respond to their fast attacks and got killed. Even
Savages couldn’t defeat them. Even their joint attacks were not that successful
because they were not fully trained.

The warrior group of the Larson family could use magic to defeat enemies. Later,
they formally established the Knight Squad in Platonis, becoming the first fighters.
In order to pay tribute to Larson, the first fighter and founder of the Knight Squad,
they carved the initial, ZL into their armors and weapons. Since then, fighters have
become the most powerful group for long, playing a pivotal role in the sect. In
response, the Macuapel sect trained Dark Knights, who haven’t been seen since
the Tartanos war was over. The fighters in Platonis, as reinforcements, recently
defeated the Sidus’ warriors invading Fan, even though knights in Fan also fought
very well. They made joint attacks against the Sidus’ warriors, leading knights in
Fan to fight the enemies more courageously.

Fighters have faith in Coellis, trying their best to avoid unnecessary battle but
risking their lives in order to fulfill their duties. They can handle most weapons but
are especially good at swordsmanship. They have a great attacking power,
maximizing fighting strength by using MP-based skills. Furthermore, fighters have
strong leadership and skills that can affect the whole party, showing their strength
in group battle. However, their training is beyond imagination and they have to
spend much time sharpening their skills to become great fighters. The fighter group
is well organized, having a long history. They belong to various classes, according
to their achievement and capability.

Now, due to the war with Sidus, most fighters are leaving to support other cities
that don’t have enough military power. They are fighting the evil to fulfill their
divine duties for Coellis, taking risks in order to revive the past glory.

The group of Valkyries is a mysterious tribe not known to the outside world. There
are various theories explaining this tribe, not supported by any records. According
to the established theory, they have lived from the ancient times. Their body
structure and capability are known to be different from those of ordinary human
beings. They are said to live in a remote and isolated area by themselves. This
theory is based on the evidence that they were found in coastal cities or castles.
However, no one knows how they came here and where they are from.

Valkyries are working across the continent, not telling anybody about themselves.
They only say, “We exist for power balance, not on anybody’s side.” According to
what travellers say, they often fought for the Coellis sect. At other times, they
worked for the Macuapel sect.
There are various documents dealing with the Tartanos war from D.A 6 to A.C.
1029, none of which mention Valkyries. They often explain a mysterious group
which may be related to Valkyries. However, there is no report that something
related to Valkyries was found.
They have remained in silence even during more than 1000 years of the chaotic
period. However, as Sidus brought on war, they started interfering in CRONOUS.
Across the continent, Valkyries are actively working, which means that they are
trying to tip the power balance of the war. This tells us how serious the current
situation is.
It is also known that some Valkyries recently gave up their duties and started
working for one side. Rumor has it that assassins were dispatched to get rid of
such Valkyries secretly. However, nothing was proved yet.
Valkyries look like women but nobody knows whether they are human or not. Their
killing skills are known to be very deadly. Valkyries having various fighting
techniques, as well as the basic attacking power, are especially strong in close
combat. Like fighters, they rely on both magic and physical attacks. Their magic is
known to be clearly differentiated from the one fighters or magicians use. With
short and light weapons, they attack enemies at an astounding speed, which is so
powerful that enemies can’t avoid them.

EK, the initials of the founder, is the symbol that only magicians can use. Magicians
finished the 14 years of academic curricula at Kanon Magic School, and they are
unrivaled in magic. Various classes of children from different familes are sent to the
school but only a few of them are accepted. At first, they are trained to increase
their basic physical strength and encouraged to have special interest in nature and
art. For 14 years, they should learn all kinds of magic thoroughly through basic and
advanced courses.
Furthermore, they should accumulate the comprehensive and deep knowledge of
the liberal arts, including history, philosophy, astronomy, and art, working very
hard to increase their physical strength. Even the gifted students have a hard time
completing every course for 14 years. Many students drop out or give up in the
middle of their work, so that less than half of them can successfully graduate from
the school.
On the graduation day, a special ceremony is held, where their magic is sealed.
When the magic they learned for 14 years is sealed, magicians feel confused and
even agonized.
This ceremony is held due to the will left by Eninderik Kanon, the great magician,
saying that only the person who can break the seal by himself can become a real
magician who can understand humans and nature. The wise in Kanon overcame
the obstacle, proving every year that Kanon’s will is true.
According to informal information, some magicians were helped to break the seal.
Most of them are known to be related to the evil. The origin of Kanon Magic School
should be also mentioned. The school was established in A.C. 392 by Eninderik
Kanon, the Great Magician. Because the magic had been handed over to the next
generation through a few families, the general public had not been given any
opportunities to learn magic before the school was set up. However, due to the
Tartanos war, some people argued that ordinary people should be taught Magic to
fight against the evil.
However, other magician families opposed the idea because they got the power
thanks to their own magic. The Coellis sect, whose main power was from
magicians, had to experience a big crisis due to this conflict. Under this
circumstance, Eninderik, the great magician of the Kanon family, showed up to end
the conflict, playing a leading role in winning the war. Then, he set up Kanon Magic
School. The place where the school is located is known to be surrounded by
mysterious power from the past.
Magicians can use magic at their disposal thanks to many years of training, which
depends on their ability to break the seal. They are trained to use most weapons
but their favorite is a magic stick. Furthermore, they can use most of the existing
magic, even creating special magic through developed skills.
One year before Sidus attacked Platonis, a big incident occurred in Kanon Magic
School. When many magicians left for the sanctuary for commencement, Balder,
one of Sidus’ men, successfully broke the protection and stole away the crystal
ball. The power of the ball was not known to the outside world but travellers
guess that it has mysterious power.
Kanon Magic School quickly organized a special squad to get it back, which caused
controversies among the wise that lasted for the next one year. The issue was
related to the tradition of sealing the magic of the squad, a tradition which had
been followed by the school for more than 1500 years. Some people argued that
they should send young magicians whose magic was not sealed in order to get the
ball back as soon as possible. Others counterattacked, saying that such a decision
would cause a more serious disaster. While the wise were divided, Sidus attacked
Platonis.
Ultimately, they decided to follow the will, sending a group of magicians to get the
ball back.
However, Kanon lost contact with many of them, so that it keeps sending
graduates to get the job done.

Most savages are more than 2m tall and very masculine, not defeated by any
enemies. Savages are very strong and wild, characterized by a hardened face, a
low tone of voice, and black beard. Their gigantic body and daunting atmosphere
make them differentiated from others.
From childhood, they were trained to overcome the wild environment. Every year,
they should endure the steaming heat and biting cold, strengthening themselves
through training and hunting. Furthermore, they can’t lower their guard to protect
themselves from the attacks of wild animals. Therefore, it is natural that they are
bigger and stronger than other warriors.
Savages learn their own martial arts from ancestors, most of which are offensive
skills, rather than defensive ones. In fact, most savages learn how to use ax,
hammer, sword, and lance, rather than shield.
The ceaseless training characterizing their daily lives makes savages grow to be
regular warriors at a younger age. Furthermore, they should go to a designated
place and survive all perils for one year. If they go through the training process,
they can become much stronger warriors who can compete with several ordinary
ones at the same time.
The origin of savages can be summarized as follows. Efferus Montanus, the
hometown of savages, was once called ‘the mountain that can’t be reached.’
According to some documents, they came down from the mountain for the first time
in A.C. 367 in order to fight for the Coellis sect. However, it is not known how they
came down and why the mountain hadn’t been reached. According to savage’s
prophecy from the ancient times, there is a phrase saying that ‘if the red light
soars to the sky from the west for three days and three nights, the road will be
opened and you will see people waiting for salvation.”
According to the document that mentioned savages for the first time, Berkiel, the
Great Devil, drained the area around Sitis Terra of its life to make it a desert before
savages came down from the mountain. At that time, the red light is known to
have soared to the sky for three days. However, it is not clear whether the area
around Sitis Terra was not originally a desert or what the prophecy passed over to
savages was. There is no detailed information left on this matter. We just believe
that all of these incidents were controlled by Coellis, the Great God. Savages can
use all kinds of weapons at their disposal, but their favorite weapon is a large ax.
Considering that magic is not their source of power, savages focused on
strengthening their physical power by themselves. Even though many savages are
now wielding stronger power by using magic, depending on the situation, their
ranking is basically determined by physical strength. (Savages are forbidden to use
magic to attack their colleagues.) They are very proud of themselves, taking care of
each other and willing to die for friends.
