There was an ancient folk legend, a legend of a place called "The Valley of the Promised". And in this valley, there was something there called "The Element of Prosperity". It was said that The Element of Prosperity was granted to the first person to ever locate it, and the person who got the Element recieved the power of the ancient warriors who roamed the planet long before the 200 Years of War. Legend states that the man who found the Element of Prosperity would not be immortal, that he could still die by the hands of another warrior. And if the "Warrior of Prosperity" was to die the Element of Prosperity could either flow into the body of the man who killed the Warrior of Prosperity, or return to the Valley of the Promised and wait for the next person to discover it.
The only trick was that if the Element of Prosperity returned to the Valley of the Promised, the Valley would actually seal itself off and actually relocate itself to another place on the world. After the relocation, the Valley would remain sealed never to be discovered for another century.
It was rumored that at some point during the 200 years of war, one man managed to find the Valley of the Promised and was blessed with the Element of Prosperity. And folklore says that the Warrior of Prosperity led his army on a campaign to destroy the newly formed Senate. But the Warrior of Prosperity, in a grusome battle, was killed by a young head warrior of the Senate known only as "The Apprentace". The Apprentace knew the Element of Prosperity could enter him and grant him the power, but The Apprentace had a tainted soul within him.. and it reacted unusually to him and the Element returned to the Valley and was sealed away for another century.
The Apprentace was furious and vowed to live until he could find the Element again. A hundred years to the day have passed, and The Apprentace lived to be a very eldery man who could still give up a very good fight. Now it is said that The Apprentace is actually one of the head rulers in the Senate, known only as "The Senator".
Rumors recently have said that a small group of Senate infantry discovered some unusual mountains that werent recorded in any geographical maps. The location or even continent was never given, because shortly thereafter a group of drifters attacked the Senate platoon and both sides were killed in a bloody exchange. It is believed that now The Senate is searching for what they believe is The Valley of the Promised.
