The world was built upon two powers.
The Authority of Heaven.
And the Authority of Man.
For nearly a thousand years, these twin pillars had preserved civilization against every threat that sought its destruction.
Because humanity had learned long ago that neither could stand alone.
In the earliest ages, before kingdoms existed and before history found its voice, the world belonged to monsters.
Ancient beasts ruled the mountains.
Sea-born horrors swallowed entire fleets.
And from the Abyss emerged demons whose existence threatened the very survival of mankind.
Those centuries would later become known as the Age of Ruin.
A time when nations rose only to be consumed.
A time when humanity survived not through strength, but through desperation.
Many believed extinction inevitable.
Yet mankind endured.
It endured because Heaven answered.
And because humanity refused to surrender.
From that struggle arose Astralis.
The City Above the Clouds.
The Eternal Citadel.
The heart of human civilization.
Built high above the world and protected by powers beyond mortal understanding, Astralis became humanity's final refuge during the darkest years of the Age of Ruin.
Eventually it became far more than that.
It became the center of the world.
The birthplace of law.
The keeper of history.
The seat of civilization itself.
Yet Astralis was not governed by kings.
Nor by emperors.
Instead, the world was entrusted to two great authorities.
The first was Heaven.
Its will manifested through the Celestial Legion.
The Twelve Heavenly Divine Generals.
Unlike nobles, they inherited nothing.
Unlike rulers, they possessed no birthright.
Each General was chosen directly by Heaven itself.
The process remained a mystery even after centuries.
Some were born commoners.
Some came from noble families.
Others emerged from complete obscurity.
Only one truth remained constant.
Heaven chose the worthy.
When a Heavenly Divine General fell, Heaven eventually selected another.
Not a descendant.
Not an heir.
A successor.
Thus, the titles endured even as the individuals changed.
The Golden Lion.
The Saint of Radiance.
The Titan King.
