1. Intro
Only two cities remain, the rest lie in ruin or hidden deep beneath the rubble of what once was. The pounding of armor and screams of agony echo across the vast wastelands as another young warrior marches toward the battlefield. His chance has finally come to prove his worthiness in the ultimate test of bravery in the face of combat. Welcome travelers, to the realm of Helbreath.

2. Story Line
In the time before time, deep within the world of HELBREATH, there existed the two supreme gods, Eldiniel and Aresien. These gods contacted humankind through the Erisnommire Temple, located in the western region of HELBREATH at Mt. Asgarde. In addition to being involved in the human world, these two absolute beings ruled over the world of the twelve primary gods.

In an event known as the Descent of the Gods, the gods joined humanity in their earthly realm, and dwelled there in peace. . While there, the gods made the land produce bountiful harvests of life-giving crops. As a result, Divine Power was released among humankind by the gods.

However, at some point in the year 2192, the Prime Event occurred. Due to a conflict between Eldiniel and Aresien, the entirety of HELBREATH fell into confusion and disorder. Hence, the connection between the gods and humankind was sorrowfully severed.

As time passed, and like all seemingly fantastic events do, the Descent of the Gods? Faded and become a legend. Unlike the rest of the world, Equilibrium, the center of HELBREATH, remained a peaceful land with the protection and blessing of the gods.

After the departure of the Divine Power, the very nature of HELBREATH came to despise humankind. The once peaceful animals turned into vicious beasts that attacked indiscriminately. The once fertile land became desolate and barren, refusing to yield anything that would satiate humanity's hunger.

Alone, and in such a harsh environment, humankind could no longer support itself. So, humanity, at last, came to desire the aid of the two supreme beings once more. In response, Equilibrium branched out in two denominations: one for those who worshipped Eldiniel, and one for those who worshipped Aresien. As the two denominations were formed, the regions of Elvine and Aresden were created separate from one another.

All the while, in the eastern region of HELBREATH, an area forsaken by the gods, the absolute evil, Abaddon, had begun recuperating its lost power. This evil power continually grew, and as it did so the horrific creatures that hide in the darkest bowels of the earth gained within them a new courage. Armed with this fearlessness, they began attacking the villages of HELBREATH. Amongst the villagers, there grew a surprisingly accurate rumor that the true source of these beasts was Abaddon, the land of destruction. This rumor was most likely spurred on by the numerous cases of knights and mages who ventured to Abaddon, but were never seen again. Naturally, Abaddon became a place feared by most of the populace. There is much speculation about Abaddon, but no one really knows the true nature of its evil. Even as the STRength of the absolute evil increases daily, humankind remains primarily concerned with conflict over human power and, therefore, completely blind to the coming darkness. This will be the greatest challenge humanity has faced, and the greatest challenge demands the greatest heroes. Heroes that can unite a divided people and confine the force of evil?Can you muster the STRength and valor to be one of these heroes?

3. The Crusade
Abaddon that was revived in the form of soul got into the victim who has evil mind during waiting for the absolutely perfect revival. Then Abaddon got into Aresden archbishop and raise the War between Elvine and Aresden called Crusade. By this massive War, both countries have got damaged terribly and astonished by what they had done. At that time, Aresden archbishop got himself together and felt guilty, so he took his own life sorrowfully. The sages who looking for the solution to put Abaddon under seal added a Knight who is Aresden elder's grandson to the expeditionary force. He said solution of all the cause of disorder will be existed in another world, so their expeditionary force started to find new world...

4. The Apocalypse
The expeditionary force for Abaddon to be sealed finally found there is somewhere which is new world called 'The land of destruction'. That's the place where Abaddon is waiting for the revival. Evils put up the wall of time to keep people away from getting into the land, and the expeditionary force arrived at the entrance of that world. But even wall of time couldn't stop them. And the force found a little piece of ancient slate. To find rest pieces of ancient slate, they were looking for everywhere in Helbreath. On their way to find pieces, they fount that slate is the slab of stone that was written about a prediction of ancient gods. And they found the gist of the slate is how to seal Abaddon. - There is written about how to destroy Abaddon in ancient slate, and now the slate is divided into four pieces by the evils. - Who could put Abaddon to eternal sleep? You, traveler from the real world... welcome to Helbreath World. I couldn't say you're the one who save the world or not. But, one thing is very clear. Since you entered the Helbreath World, you should take all these things as your fate. Even that's whether the return to the old peaceful world by reconstruction or the destruction of the whole world by Abaddon...

5. War Units and Buildings During Times of Total War
When total war begins, a fierce battle between Elvine and Aresden breaks out. Only during the time of total war, the summoned units and buildings must be utilized effectively to come out victorious. Now, let's learn about the summoned units and buildings during total war.

5-1. Buildings
Mana Collector
Built around the Mana stone appearing in Middleland. The role of the Mana Collector is to collect the Mana energy spilling from the Mana stone and send the collected Mana to the Grand Magic Generator in the city. The Mana Collector's special function is that all mages close to the collector do not lose Mana when casting spells.
Detector
Reveals all invisible characters and sets off an alarm. Renders all characters unable to use and cast invisibility.
Cannon Guard Tower
Guards a certain area by shooting powerful cannonballs with a great affect. However, the cannons can also hit friendly characters as well as enemies. Standing outside the range of the cannons is the best way to avoid getting hit by them.
Arrow Guard Tower
Guard tower that shoots quick, constant arrows. Compared to the Cannon Tower, the arrow tower is weaker and has a smaller attack circumference, but hits only enemy units. So, in killing enemies, this tower is better.
Energy Shield Generator
Appearing in front of the city hall, shop, warehouse in the city, this creates an energy shield to protect the building from enemy attacks. During the time of total war, this generator appears automatically, and keeping this generator safe is an important part for victory.
Grand Magic Generator
When the Mana Collector overflows with Mana, the Grand Magic Generator turns on. The role of the Grand Magic Generator is to constantly blast the enemy city with Meteor STRike, deSTRoying its buildings.
5-2. Summon Units
1) Aresden Summon Units
Temple Knight
Devout follower of Aresien and was made to protect the objects of Aresien. During war time, is thrown INTo the enemy city and kills all the enemies without mercy.
Battle Golem
Since enemy attacks started to grow too numerous, this robot was made to defend the city. Scientists built the robot and the highest mages gave it life and power, making it the STRongest unit in Aresden.
2) Elvine Summon Units
God's Hand Knight
Devout follower of Eldiniel made to protect the beliefs of Eldiniel. Rival of Aresden's Temple Knight. During war time, is thrown into the enemy city and kills all the enemies mercilessly.
God's Hand Knight Calvary
When Aresden's Battle Golem appeared, Elvine also needed a weapon to guard against it, that is why the God's Hand Knight was created. Riding upon a battle steed, the God's Hand Knight's powerful attack and the speed of the battle steed combined with great magic power, the God's Hand Knight Calvary is the strongest unit in Elvine.
3) Elvine and Aresden Common Units
Mercenaries
Their location is unknown, but they have powerful battle skills. From looking at their fighting style, the people believe that these were the knights that protected Aresden and Elvine in the past. During the intense time of battle, the mercenaries appear suddenly and greatly damage the enemy.
Light War Beetle
As the war drags on, how can so many enemies be killed? The solution to this was the Light War Beetle. This is giant beetle with a rider on its back controlling its movement and killing enemies with stone arrows. As wars raged on, the attack and defense skills of the people rose, making the power of the Light War Beetle go down. However, this warrior's first appearance was all that was needed to strike fear in the people.
Catapult
When the guard towers were equipped with cannon and arrows, too many people were killed. The militaries needed a way to attack the towers outside of their range. So, the catapult was made to destroy the guard tower without any casualties. Therefore, the enemies were left powerless.

6. All about Total War
The greatest transformation in Helbreath Crusade is the total war mode. Once a week on a certain day, total war breaks out. The game can be played regularly except during total war time. There are a few different factors between total war mode and regular game play.

1. While total war is going on, players cannot chat with enemy players and cannot see their names. The cursor only recognizes an enemy as a target to be attacked. In regular game play, the name of an enemy can be seen and estimate his level, so you can decide whether to fight or run away. However, during wartime, none of these things can be seen. So, you fight the enemy players without knowing who or what level they are. Also, since players cannot communicate with each other or see their names, players won't be able to hold bad feelings or grudges with other players.

2. During total war, you can tell who an enemy or friendly unit is without placing your cursor over them. This helps you to know the battle situations.

3. If you die twice in less than 10 minutes, you will not be able to leave your country for 3 minutes. During these 3 minutes, you should defend your country from the enemy. Except in this situation, you can go into any map without restriction.

4. You can teleport to the back area of the enemy city and have guerilla warfare. In total war, if you talk to the city officer, he will give a certain duty or job. If you agree, you will teleport to enemy battle ground in the back of the city. This is not a quest, but to do this job, you need special qualifications.

5. When you kill an enemy, not only do you gain experience, but also contribution points. If your city is victorious in the war, in proportion to the war contribution points, you will gain bonus experience and reward money. However, if your city loses the war, the war contribution points are reduced back to what you started with. In other words, the victorious players receive many awards, and the losing players receive a feeling of disappointment.

6. Soldier activity is important for the commander to summon war units. Whenever a soldier from your city kills an enemy, the summon points go up. To summon higher leveled units, the more summon points you need.

7. When the war starts, an Energy Shield Generator is automatically created in the main buildings.

8. When the Grand Magic Generator is operated, the magic attacks on the enemy country damages all players in the country as well. It is safe in buildings, but when it is destroyed by the magic raids, the building becomes abnormal and does not function properly.

9. During the total war, the experience from hunting monsters is greatly reduced.

7. The Roles during War
When the war begins, you should choose one role among the soldier, builder, or commander. If you are a guildmaster, you are enabled to be a commander. If you are a guild member, you are enabled to be a soldier or builder. Players that do not belong to a guild are able to become soldiers.
7-1. The soldier is the main character that fights on the front lines. If you take the role of soldier, the physical attacking power is 1.5 times stronger and magic attacking power is 1.3 times stronger. Soldiers can be teleported to a certain place in Middleland that the commander (guildmaster) has arranged for battle. However, to teleport, the current location should not be in Middleland. Soldiers gain experience or contribution points by killing enemy units or destroying enemy building. Soldiers that are a member of a guild take orders from their commander. Soldiers not belonging to a guild take orders from a computer.
7-2. Builders can make buildings for battle. Builders make the building at the site arranged by the commander. This is the way to gain experience and contribution points. This is an important factor to win in total warfare. So, there must be rigorous cooperation between commander and builder in order to win the battles. One guild can build up to 7 buildings. The buildings are built in the arranged location. The most important duty of the builder is building a Mana Collector next to the Mana stone in Middleland. The Mana Collector is needed in order to operate the Grand Magic Generator.
7-3. The commander must grasp the war situation and take the role in commanding the soldiers. The commander can tell the location of all buildings, enemy and friendly, in Middleland. The commander can teleport the soldiers to a certain place at the same time, and inform the builders of the building locations. He can also summon strong war units to support the army. The commander plays a major role in war. Therefore, the commander arranges the teleport location and commands the war. When the soldiers are in the midst of battle, he sends his soldier or builders to support the allies and decides the location to build the Mana Collector to take the Mana stone. Another more important role is summoning war units. Commanders can obtain summon points when a soldier under his command slays an enemy. As the summon points accumulate, you can summon war units to help in battle. Casting Berserk and magic defending spells on war units doubles their effects.
