Far far away in a galaxy, resides a planet similar to our planet, Jagatra, a planet with 9 island continents. Though unlike our world this world had to face the wars with a super-civilization that had doorway that linked this world to theirs. The people of Jagatra called them daemions. They invaded the 9 continents with 9 gates. But the 9 heroes who wielded the power of majestic animal spirits stood in the way of invasion and drove them back to their world. Their gates were sealed and the technology and the knowledge they brought was sealed within it. They sealed doors were called 'vault'. Each heroes were appointed to guard these vault's as 'guardian's and fulfill this duty through their generations to come. But after two centuries of the invasion the dragon guardian sought the power of the demons and broke seal of his vault and acquired tremendous powers and immortality. Still unsatisfied he went after the other 8 vaults. But the guardians stood in his way to protect the humanity. Thus the 'Vault War' began. In the end the Dragon guardian lost and his soul sealed within his vault. But the prize of victory was heavy. 5 guardians and there bloodlines completely perished in the war. The only survivor's were the Lion guardian clan, Eagle guardian clan, Dragon guardian clan and Wolf guardian clan. The members of the dragon clan fled from their land to escape the execution by authorities. The three remaining guardians traveled around the world to hide the vaults from human eye and returned their homeland. With ages passed their family mixed in normal human society but they still actively protect their vaults from possible threats or from discovering.
More time passed by, now in modern era the stories of 'Vault Wars' and vaults are disputed as whether it is legend or true history, as no documents or record of vault's ever found after the war. So there was no threat or war for the vaults, or so it seemed...

The Jagatra calendar starts after the 'Vault War'. The following event starts at 1835, when Evasu's two neighboring countries (Evasu has five countries, Arujini in the west, Krakota in the east, Holen to Arujini's the north, Sidesh in the south of Arujini and Sidret in the west of Sidesh) Arujini and Krakota went on a war over the dominance of Arujini's mineral rich Sarisandh mountain range and it's foot hill military and transport city Ariandh. Krakota is the largest country of Evasu as well as of the Jagatra. This country holds second largest place in economy and military. While Ariandh is known for it's rich natural resources and soil in both northern and southern part in the country and holds very good diplomatic relationships to the other countries except for Krakota. Ariandh is situated in a very risky and vital position of the country. As this city connects the whole country to Sarisandh mountain range and also situated nearly the border. If this city falls to the Krakotan army then Arujini will lose it's natural resources. Not to mention this city also is rumored to be the location of one of the last 3 unsealed vaults.
Power Systems and Weaponries of Modern Jagatra
The Jagatra's continents are divided in countries which are ruled by the 'king's who are elected by people through vote and recruited as the head of the country for 2 years. Democracy is worldwide in Jagatra. The country in divided into states ruled by 'duke's elected by people for 2 years. The states are divided into districts which ruled by 'count's elected by people for 2 years. Districts have many cities or towns which are ruled by 'mayor's and villages ruled by 'landlord's. They are also elected by people for 2 years. Every person who has become ruling authority for two years cannot be elected for same or lower ranks again but can be elected for higher authority. This power system made their ruling stable but not corruptionless.
The leader of the countries around the world had diplomatic organization the JDS (Jagatra Diplomatic Society) where they would discuss about world peace, economy, health and hunger related matters.
In terms of military, the kings have only authority to order them followed by generals. From ancient time people of Jagatra have possessed an elemental affinity of nine types. Those are lightning, fire, water, earth, wind, poison, wisdom/psychic, light and dark. Although a regular person posses one type of element and in very slight amount which can't hurt people but some people have a stronger elemental powers or even more than one elemental power. Chances to find such person is one in a million, though. Since ancient time people have used amplifier in weapons such as swords, bows, spears to use their elemental powers as weapons. In modern days amplifier is used in guns to use the elements as ballistics. Along with amplifier new devices like focus drive and rapid circles are used in guns to increase accuracy and fire rate respectively.
Science is pretty developed in Jagatra. Scientific weapons like drones, RC jets are used in military. Atom bomb was also developed but it was soon banned all over Jagatra, the research about it destroyed and the scientists and other people who knew about it was assassinated so that the it is never made again and no one dares to build it again.
