Story[edit | edit source]
Before Grandshelt was formed as a kingdom, the continent was inhabited by a tribe of natives. However, this tribe was displaced and their lands stolen by invaders who where able to manipulate crystals. The kingdom was later formed and and participated in a war for the crystals. After the war, the kingdom, and the isles entered a time of peace.
The Grandshelt Isles housed the Earth Crystal until it was shattered by Veritas of the Dark of the Sworn Six of Paladia, resulting in increased monster activity throughout the region. Following this, Dark and the rest of the Sworn Six laid siege to Grandshelt Castle until they were stopped by Fina, who had just been released from her crystal sealed deep beneath the castle. Fina as a result lost her memories and began following Rain and Lasswell, two Knights of Grandshelt whom she had previously granted the power of Visions to, who had headed off in pursuit of the Sworn Six in order to prevent them from achieving their goal and shattering the rest of the Crystals.
