Gantry's rise to prominence is not due to his spiritual convictions but rather his skill in exploiting the beliefs and emotions of others.

Once, in a distant land cradled by mountains and veiled in mist, there lay the Echoing Valley, a place of profound silence and beauty. In this valley, a gentle giant named Eirwyn slumbered for centuries, his heart beating in rhythm with the earth, his dreams a canopy of peace over the land. In the kingdom bordering Echoing Valley, there lived a cunning warlord, Lord Kazuo. He, having heard legends of the giant's immense power, coveted it for his own conquests. One fateful night, guided by greed and ambition, Kazuo led his army into the valley, determined to harness Eirwyn's power.
