Once defeated by its neighbors, the Fayard administration still reeling from the previous war, retreat in the mountains and was in terrible need of sustainable ressources. Feeding its population was a technical nightmare in the rocky lands available. Thousands of loyalist departed from occupied lands, to join the mountains in the ensuing years, faced with a bleak existence rife with illness, starvation and hardship.



Over time, their population grew more resilient to privations at the cost of many lives. Stifled under the strict conditions imposed by past victors, the singular and remarkable figure of an heir of the foundator rose to prominence.



Lukas Fayard, a master orator, was the first to give voice to what later became the principal keystone of the Fayard philosophy : that the people of Fayard have been strenghten by their environnement and transformed into a superior human race. The Fayard.

Transforming them from symbols of weakness to those of pride, evidence to having overcome extreme struggles and hardships.



This is how was born the Fayard Empire, as the Demon Empire start its invasion. Protecting its image as a loser, the Empire hid its program of rearming and consolidating its army. Isolating from the world to better rebuild in secret and achieved a stunning level of success...
