Five hundred years ago, Enkidiev, a continent populated by humans, elves, and fairies, is being attacked by Amecareth, emperor of Irianeth and the insect empire. The threat of a new invasion looms over Enkidiev. The only hope for them to survive is to recreate the order of the Knights of Emerald by the King Emerald 1st. These magic warriors are to protect the continent until the prophesied Light holder can destroy the threat. It starts off with the land of Enkidiev, where multiple Kingdoms are situated. The Kingdom that is focused most upon is the Emerald Kingdom, seeing as the Emerald Knights are trained and will live there for the majority of their lives.
The Emerald Knights.
The Emerald Knights are an elite group of warriors and magicians that are trained in the Emerald Kingdom. Children who show off magical capabilities are brought to the castle to be evaluated by a magician, and then deemed either capable or incapable of becoming a knight. From infancy to their teens, children will study under the magician and previous knights as well as warriors. They then will be employed as Squires to the Emerald Knights, helping them and providing for them on their adventures as well as gaining some practical knowledge. After spending a few years as a Squire, they will then be able to gain the title of "Emerald Knight".
