Ok, so the titans have been warring with the Old Ones for Millennia, and even after the creation of the gods the war raged even through the rise and fall of the Demon Lords, the cycle a backdrop created by the Original Chief God to keep the denizens of the MGE universe safe from the never-ending feud of their greaters, for you see the Chaos Demons knew that should man or monster rise and side with their gods, they would be extinguished, and so they supported the Cycle.

Even though the war was unending that did not mean their weren't casualties on both sides, and for every generation born after the first, each side grew weaker, and in the case of the Old Ones, their greatest would sacrifice themselves to the mantle of Demon Lord ever be left free.

In the end, Mneumonia was the last of the First, the First Daughter. During the Age of the Former Demon Lord, before her kind were locked away, she was tempted by a certain succubus to fall for a particularly ignorant human man. The man's sheer ignorance made him immune to the madness her very presence caused.

She loved this man dearly, and they laid together. This union gave birth to the first of the Munin, the first half man, half monster race of note. These girls, gifted with power from their mother's blood, aged rapidly until maturity, and from there could breed with any race, producing more Munin. The Munin had one particular ability in addition to their unsurprising immunity to Chaos and impressive skill in most fields. They produced a calming effect from themselves, making peace between monster and men a real possibility.

An empire was built, the ignorant man, now empowered by his daughters and other descendants, was made a mighty god-king of a grand empire that spanned across the known world. Mneumonia herself watched happily over her children as a goddess.

This is when a problem was realized. The Munin were not simply women, they were monsters as well. Unlike the gods and their hero's, the Munin could take the mantle of Demon Lord if they chose. If this were to happen, the Chaos Demon's risked extinction.

For this, they saw no other choice, they plotted to seal away their Elder and erase the Munin from existence. Still, Mneumonia was far too powerful for her younger kin. To accomplish their goal, they enlisted the help of the Dark Lord Vivictus.

And so Mneumonia was sealed away, and her children destroyed.

However, their actions lead to two consiquenses. The first was that the Titans used this chance, enlisting the help of a Beast to seal their motal foes. The second, is that the succubus that tempted Mneumonia used the Chaos created from the death of the Munin to seize control and become the Maou.

The Titan, however, did not get a chance to enjoy their victory. Their disruption of their own cycle drew the wrath of Vivictus now onto them, and so they were themselves sealed away.

From here it's basically Mneumonia's lore of her growing stronger in her isolation to the point that she is reborn as pure energy, and now her body lies dead (though for an Old One death in this way means little, and it is still affecting the world and doing other things that will be surprises later) until the Maou's power reaches the point that the corpse is turned into an undead Old One Mamono.

Then you have Arden, a man moving about, exploing the ruins of the once great Munin empire, collecting artifacts so that he may obtain the raw power of Mneumonia...or is he?
