[edit] Story

Taken from the Drakengard website

"It is an ancient time, and dragons still roam upon the earth. Two great powers, the Union and the Empire, wage fierce war for the control of a goddess who protects the harmony of the world. Hidden in three sacred places scattered throughout the world are the great seals. A fourth seal, which unites and protects the others, is embodied in the life of a single woman. This woman is called the goddess.

The legends say that should these seals be broken, the gods themselves will sow upon the earth the Seeds of Resurrection. Some claim that these seeds will bring forth the salvation of all mankind."
