LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

Lore & Flavor

Laconic Lore:

To make monster, one must make a monster of thier own. Garelux is an oceanic anomaly, the only one capable enough to stand against Maelrawn and its awesome power, wreaking havoc towards the surface. With the instruction of the 7 old kingdoms, the massive titan slayer Exidia was commissioned to the keens culminating in a duel that ended in a seeming draw. Now rumor has it that both survived came to an agreement, still harboring hatred towards another, they made a pact to cleanse the world before ending each other once and for all.
