The Story of Grandia II

The Legend of the "Battle of Good and Evil"
When the world was still young and yawned at every dawns waking. Granas, the God of Light, came. All was bathed in the holy light of Heaven. Thus, those were the days of marvels.

Yet, there were those sought the power to resist Granas, they found power in Valmar, the God of Darkness. Power to release the energy bound up in life. Power to unmake the world.

Thus in those days, they made war.

The fighting continued endlessly, until the Sword of Granas pierced the infinite darkness of Vamlar. The mighty blow from Granas not only smashed Valmar to pieces, but also carved several ugly scars in the very surface of the planet.

These are the Granacliffs that survive even to the present; scars in the land.

The reason why we call this earth the "Cursed Land."
