In a time when deities tread beside mortals, the realm of Eos slips into shadow. Disaster strikes humanity as wicked beings called "daemons" ravage the land and annihilate armies with seemingly inexorable might. During these bleak moments, the aristocracy of House Caelum ascends to prominence, offering a glimmer of hope amid despair. Their gifts enable them to cleanse the pestilence unleashed by the monsters, earning the populace"s confidence and devotion.
Lacking a sovereign to govern the first human realm and guide its people, the void threatens to plunge the fledgling kingdom into chaos. The gods urgently seek a replacement—a Caelum scion appears most fitting. The realist Somnus Lucis Caelum, whose vision blends cunning with faith, faces his brother Ardyn Lucis Caelum in a bid for the crown. As rivalry intensifies and expectations mount, the stakes rise beyond mere power; the destiny of the world hinges on which brother secures a decisive triumph.
