A statue of a god praised by the inhabitants of this region back when it existed on the surface. Humanity's memory is short, however, and the inhabitants of Aincrad have long since forgotten its divine provenance—presuming it to be an effigy of a demon or some kind of monster.

Aincrad is a land without war. It is an isolated island, detached from the overworld to contain a great war that took place many eons ago, and then divided into multiple layers, inaccessible to each other to prevent nations from waging needless territorial skirmishes. The vacant folly of war can be glimpsed in the weathered ruins of ancient forts which mar the landscape like old battle scars.

Approximately one thousand years ago, the Alliance of the Nine Kingdoms, a human nation that existed on the overworld, was engulfed in a war that consumed the entire world. The belligerents of the war were the dark elves of the Lyusula kingdom and the forest elves of the Kales'Oh kingdom. The Nine Kingdoms allied themselves with the dark elves and the dwarves with Kales'Oh, pitting the denizens of the world against each other. Even with Aincrad banished to the sky, the scars of this ancient conflict remain on the land, haunting it.

Ceremonial gear inherited from the overworld, imbued with an ancient enchantment that shields the wearer from harm. Though originally intended as ritual attire, it's durable enough for combat.

When Aincrad was still part of the overworld, each human tribe believed in their own native gods. However, these old religions were forgotten in the Great Separation, and now many worship the high elves—the ancient beings who supposedly created Aincrad.
