The World of Reia

Volume 1: Nocturne

Azure Sins tells the story of society in the infamous yet prosperous country of Reia. Unknowingly to most within the free world, an event known in the nation's history as the "Azure Night". During a night of showering, shooting stars burned azure and illuminated the night sky 200 years before our story. This night marked the day significant changes in the world of mankind began. In truth, monstrous beings devised a way to manifest in the human realm by unknown means, beginning their hunt for the angels. Those who came to the mortal realm to benefit the newest born species, humans. Demons toyed with humanity, leading to the First Great Holy War.

Due to many continuing to lose their lives to demonic tricks and tactics, spanning over the last hundreds of years, a Holy order came to the aid of the people during what seemed to be its worst time. Their members worked alongside rulers of cities and capitals to bring back human law and order. Soon, they were able to begin their new order. Building a public and political presence over time. Using the Temple's influence of faith and belief through the people of the world allowed these cities to flourish behind the protection of a barrier. Five major capital cities nationwide. Massive, walled civilizations were ruled by the wealthiest nobles in each region, politically and socially. Their combined wealth brought a common order and law to the nation. The Temple's place in society has remained ever-growing throughout the ages, representing peace, faith, and hope. Over time, the organization became an influential social and political force in most places under the protection and control of nobles.

Their wealth helped build new and sustain old towns under their names. With most towns directly run by the townsfolk and funded by the nobles over long distances, those residents gave the nobles their expansive lands outside of the capitals through representatives to ensure everything remained functional.
