5 | A historic fantasy set in a pseudo-[[JidaiGeki Feudal Japan]], ''Divinity'' tells a story that -- quite literally -- spans centuries and entire lifetimes. On the surface, it is a story of war told on a personal level: the conflict between the [[{{Samurai}} elite forces]] of the conquerors and the conquered, the Country of the Sun's Eikou and the Land of the Moon's Wardens. Beside them are a mix-and-match group of {{Youkai}} who [[FantasticRacism may or may not be able to stand each other]]. Each individual's dedication and reason for fighting are entirely their own, be it moral or not. But that's only the tip of the iceberg -- some of the {{Samurai}} aren't human at all. They're the living reincarnations of [[PhysicalGod gods]], reborn after a brutal fight with their greatest enemy who just so happens, unfortunately, to also have been reborn. |
