The Revered Ancient mainland was a vast place. The Holytide Region, which was located in the south, was only a small corner of the larger continent. And it was far from the central region. Before the catastrophe of the broken face, it was relatively famous. It was connected in the north to the Spiritsky Region, in the west to the Moonhope Region, in the northwest to the Firedark Region by means of an ancient desert road. It bordered the Sea of Endlessness both in the south and the east, and thus, was very wealthy because of shipping and products that came from the sea. In its heyday, it was one of the top ten regions controlled by humans.13

However, after the broken face of the god came, everything changed. The never-ending Forbidden Sea didn’t bring abundant wealth to the Holytide Region anymore, but instead, nonstop mutagen and other dangers. And that was just the beginning. The brilliant light of the Holytide Region faded into darkness. The human species declined, and as the human emperors came and went, they ultimately became weak.1

The Moonhope Region became the Moonrite Region. Spiritsky Region became the home of the Nightshades, and came to be called the Nightspirit Region.0

Eventually... the Sovereign Kingdom of Violet and Cyan rose up, and what had come to be a region of darkness and gloom again shone with dazzling light, striking fear into the hearts of the countless other species in Revered Ancient. But that glory was short-lived. After the ignominious death of the Crown Prince of Violet and Cyan, human splendor drifted away like smoke in the wind.8

Eventually, Seventh Prince came, and as humans and Nightshades warred, Dawning Suns were unleashed. The Nightshades were defeated, and the reigning Grand Duke Holytide chose to return...1
