Summary[]
Pontus, also known as the Shielded City, is an island where humans and arcanics have lived in peace without being dragged into the many wars to plague the continents.
The Abyssal Sea borders it's west. The laboratory of the Shaman Empress lies beneath the city. One of her inventions, the Shield, protects the city from invasion. Her descendants have been able to protect the city in her stead, but her blood runs thinner with each generation.
History[]
Volume 3[]
When Gull invades Pontus and gains access to the mask, she breaks the Gaol above Pontus, unleashing an old god on the city.
Volume 4[]
In the aftermath of the old gods' appearance over Pontus, the once-neighborly humans and arcanics fall into civil war. Arcanics blame the humans for Gull's actions, summoning the old god and turning their kind rabid.
The city is then captured by the Brothers Imura.
Volume 5[]
In the hands of the Brothers Imura, many Pontus citizens flee the city to Salawan abaord Thyrian ships, as Seizi and Kenzi attempt to draw the now-vulnerable population away from the coming war and the devastation of the old gods' breach.
