The island continent of Parastra has reached its Twilight Age; once blessed by the Divine Beast, its natural resources have run dry, the oceans are receding, a plague is spreading, and birthrates are at an all-time low. Desperate to avoid oblivion, Theofrad, the half-demon Archduke of the city of Energeia, taps into the power of Ether: a form of matter-manipulating power not sourced from a person's beliefs or desires, but from the land itself. However, this form of energy has been declared heretical by the Holy Dragon Empire of Granyeld, which declares a Holy War against Theofrad that Parastra's other leaders willingly agree to. Unwilling to stand down and accept the world's decay, Theofrad turns his city into a Labyrinth to ensnare the invading armies, and synthesizes Arcane Avatars with the help of his female subordinates to act as stalwart guardians. A new age is on the horizon, but whether it's Golden or Dark is about to be determined...

* {{Miko}}: Although all of the various national leaders are referred to as "Miko" due to their connection with the Divine Beast, the one that embodies the spirit of this Trope the most is Tomoe, the pure-hearted priestess leader of [[{{Wutai}} Takamagahara]] that's dressed in red and white ceremonial robes, and whose connection with the divine is strong enough to manifest it within her mortal body.
