Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Please ensure proper usage. Favored by the gods since ancient times, this world is one of miracles and magic. It is a world teaming with life, not only human, but elven and all manner of beasts and monsters of legend. Many a nation has ruled over the rich, fertile land of the central plains, only to fall to ruin and vanish from the world. It seemed the cycle of peace and chaos might never end. Then one day, the Lord of the Night appeared. The great nations fell one after the other to the mighty force led by Lord of the Night. His path of destruction was like a massive wave that swept across the land. In a mere three months, the entire central plains was reduced to smoldering ruins. Only then did the Lord of the Night set his sights upon his final destination: the holy land to the north. Ninety-two days had passed since the Lord of the Night first appeared. The Army of Night had nearly surrounded the holy land of Orphea, when suddenly, a great flash of light and a might roar tore a fraction of that great host asunder. From amid the great explosion emerged a mighty knight. This great hero is now single-handedly routing the Army of Night, as he makes his way to Orphea Castle across the desolate plains.

INTRODUCTION .A Goblin assassin of who is a master in his deadly trade. He has traveled to the land of the final battle according to Emperor Mura’s dying wish to help the forces of Orphea regain the Orb of Darkness. A noble knight who served a once great kingdom. He is the ultimate warrior, possessing all the traits of a leader, including excellent swordsmanship, command skills, judgment, and decisiveness. Guardian of the Dark Elves and descendent of another clan of Elves. Her tribe was the first people to take notice of the Lord of the Night’s appearance and swiftly moved to counter his threat, only to be defeated.

GALEN ZAZI LEVVFormer leader of large band of thieves. Mows down his enemies with a strong arm and his body covered in steely muscles. He had been imprisoned, but he joins the final battle after the Queen agrees to set him free in exchange for his help. Elven queen who rules the holy land of Orphea and wields the power of wind. She courageously responds until the very end to the unprecedented crisis that her kingdom faces under the onslaught of the Forces of Night.
