Odin Sphere

The nation of Valentin was once a great kingdom with powerful magic. Using the power of a magical relic known as the Cauldron, King Valentine subjugated neighboring nations and brought them under his control. His kingdom experienced a long period of prosperity... but a sudden disaster destroyed it overnight. A war broke out between the fairy kingdom of Ringford and the warrior nation of Ragnanival over possession of the abandoned Cauldron and control of the wasteland that once belonged to Valentin. The battle grows fiercer by the day and the Demon Lord Odin, King of Ragnanival, devises a plan to conquer Ringford and claim the Cauldron once and for all. Meanwhile, in the neutral realm of Titania, King Edmund has become a puppet king to his court sorcerer Urzur, who plans to follow a forgotten prophecy and bring about Armageddon; a prophecy that says the world will be destroyed in five great cataclysms, but the survivors will become kings. As nations struggle for control, the world unknowingly slides toward its doom, and the prophecies become clear....
