Culture
Folklore, myths and legends
Main article: Vilerian Folklore, Vilerian Myths and Legends, The Mythical Swordswoman
The Vilerian Folklore is built on the Vilerianist belief, being a branch of christianity. It is different from other branches of Christianity due to its strong connection with the "Only People" as some call it. The principle is simple, the Empress is thought to be the reincarnation of the daughter of God, named Eishat, she is responsible for all the peace and prosperity that the Vilerian Empire has been going through in the last 3000 years. It is said that she knows the future of any individual human and creature and that she is able to create devastating storms. But she always vowed to never use her powers to destroy, but only to create and protect her nation, she wants to protect her nation and only hers, the territories outside don't matter much for her, hence why after the War of Unification she decided to concentrate on making Vileria an impenetrable fortress by creating dense hills and mountains at the west, wet marshlands at the east and headburning steppes at the south. All this making Vileria a very patriotic nation, vowing to protect the Empress at all costs.
One day however catastrophe struck as troops of unknown origins, even to this day, entered the country by the south, marching through the sandstorm not being deterred. The Vilerian Army at the time was strong, but not enough to push back the invading army which pushed up to the city of Rhodes before being pushed back by a man and a woman, respectively an ancient Arcanist and a legendary Swordswoman.
