Description:

Zemuria, also known as Zemlya in Falcom's romanisation in Trails of Cold Steel, is the continent on which the Kiseki series takes place. It is the only known continent in the series. It is further expanded by The Legend of Heroes: Kai no Kiseki.

Pre-history

The creation of the world is recorded in the Book of Genesis, one of the Testaments of the Septian Church.

The Book of Genesis describes how mankind was gifted with the ability to freely cast magic known as arts. Over time, however, humanity lost its ability to cast arts on their own. Much later, it was discovered that arts could still be cast with the aid of technological devices called orbments. While the usage of these orbments became inherent to the ability to cast arts (orbal arts), a clan described as witches retained the ability to cast arts without orbments. Witches are still present in modern-day Zemuria, but live isolated in a secluded society.

Over time, Zemurian civilisation developed into animist tribes. They gathered around places where septium veins gathered most efficient, such as the Stone Circles in Liberl and Nord Highlands or off the coast of Lake Ebel in Erebonia (now Legram).

Before Septian Calendar

It is believed that at one point in history, the celestial being Aidios bestowed seven treasures upon mankind, known as the Sept-Terrion. Humanity split in seven factions, each gathering around one of these treasures. Each Sept-Terrion provided their group total governance over one of the seven elements. For example, the Aureole, the Sept-Terrion of Space, had absolute governance over space. With their new-found treasures, the ancient Zemurian civilisation flourished.

The golden age of these civilisations ended with the Great Collapse, a catastrophic event affecting the whole of Zemuria. The Collapse led to the destruction of the ancient Zemurian civilisation and plunged survivors into a Dark Age of ruin. The event marks the end of the Pre-Septian Calendar and the start of the Septian Calendar.
