-THIS MANGA IS READ LIKE A TRADITIONAL MANGA, FROM RIGHT TO LEFT-
So in the last few pages, I used this space to talk about the elves and their lives. I'm now gonna go a bit into the Zatei, and more specifically why they have the realm called Nandoleh.
It happened after the elves left, but before the war ended. Arcadia, leader of the Light Gods, was on the losing side of the war, thanks to a new weapon Thanatos had been using known as "vampires." However, he still had ideas. He could see what made the vampires deadly, and he knew if he could use the right energy, he could simply overpower them. His attention was then drawn to the first battle of the Eternal War, where four elves had been killed...
The magical energies of these elves remained on the site, and Arcadia was quick to collect it before Thanatos could notice it. He then imbued these energies into a race he created, known as the Zatei. They were powerful elemental humanoids that could overpower the vampire army before it became more powerful.
The Zatei did their job well, then they fled. On the command of their chosen leader, Drakosa, the Zatei fled the fighting. The angels sent to ensure they followed orders could not give chase, for the people of Orona, the city where the battle of the Zatei and the vampires occurred, were fighting against them. By the time the angels could chase, the Zatei were long gone.
Now came the issue of what the Zatei were to do. Drakosa led them half way across Apollos, to the site that would eventually become Taloz. Here, he called upon Excalibur to help them. Though normally Excalibur could have ignored it, Arcadia's choice to use the magical energies of the elves indirectly tied Excalibur to them. He was essentially forced to help them. In the end, he created the realm of Nandoleh for them as he created Abrana for the elves.
And they would remain there, isolated and unknown to the world, until the day a group of elves came to them.
