The Katrian Sisters

"We bring forth nothing. We bless nothing. We save nothing. In the end, we just erase! All you who challenge us will vanish with the sands of time! Death awaits the intrepid!"

- Zaku, the witch of time and doom

Many myths and tales on Katria tell of the origins of the Katrian Sisters, but all have started from rumors and speculations that hold little truth behind them. Some legends portray them as exiled gods from another dimension, arriving to claim their bloody dominion over all of Ea. Others behold them as messengers of Aluz, having come to rain the wrath and disapproval of the goddess upon the Katrian peoples for their violence.

However, all of these are just myths, heard as myths and considered myths by the Katrians, not to be taken seriously. The sisters have a past far from those tales. Politically, they are seen as a wild card, uncontrollable and playing for nobody's hand. Socially, they are a danger to all. They had first appeared on Ea along with the Tower of Pain, after the beginning of the warring age. Ever since, the sisters have disrupted the conflicts between Utonia and the NFK. In fact, one can argue that they had brought balance to Katria, making sure that neither nation claims victory over the other in the prolonged war.

The Tower of Pain remains a mystery, said to be sisters' base of operations. Its massive height dominates the mountains, looking like a rusted needle jutting out from the earth, made from enormous metallic tubes coiled together. It can be seen from nearly any place on Katria, making architects wonder how such a thing is able to stand so tall.

One thing is certain to the Katrians though, even the sister Zaku having proclaimed so herself. Each sister is bound by a will, and all embody an essence that conveys their individual power. Though each is given an unique essence, all share the likeness of destruction, and the return of everything into nothing.
