Baran The Rise Of Azrael

> "To fight without understanding the truth is to travel without a compass."

— Excerpt from Virion's notebook

🌍 Continent: Eldara

The world Baran lives in consists of a vast continent known as Eldara. In ancient times, Eldara was ruled by a single great civilization. But after a blood pact was forged with the Demon King, these lands fractured, decayed, and were reshaped by dark forces. Each region now follows its own fate — some became bastions of resistance, others dens of betrayal
