In the year of XIII, the world has changed since then..   The world has been destroyed. The remaining civilization is trying to start over..   The noble families have kept their power. But this is causing conflict..   Due to the greed of the noble families, they have warred with one another..   To fight on their behalf, "knights" were hired..   Knights fight for different reasons, whether or not they fight for the noble families.    To fight for fame, wealth, or honor. A knight will always fight with sword and shield.
