Setting

“ Time doesn't always flow in a single direction.
— Accord, Drakengard 3
 ”

The history of the Drakengard world, which eventually came to be known as Midgard, was effectively created when, in AD 856 on the Iberian Peninsula, a great city appeared from the sky, along with mysterious beings known as dragons and Watchers. This event produced what is called the Multiple-World Divergence Phenomenon: when a group of "singularities" (most commonly special sentient beings) come together, splits occur in a timeline of events. This phenomenon has affected the course of events in Midgard for generations to come.

It is theorized in Grimoire Nier that the world of Drakengard exists in a universe parallel to the universe which contains the world featured in Nier, which is ostensibly Earth. Information presented in Drakengard 3 reinforces this theory and indicates that the events on the Iberian Peninsula resulted in the initial point of divergence. The world of Nier resembles our own (real-life) world up until the events that occurred in 2003 Tokyo, as featured Drakengard's Ending E.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

1[]

  • The birth of Jesus Christ. (World Inside)

856[]

  • A giant earthquake occurs on the Iberian Peninsula. At the same time, a huge metropolis appears within one night, while a lot of strange things appear around the world. Casualties aside, this incident shook the very balance of the world. The dragons, Flower and the watchers are introduced into the world. This event becomes known as "The Great Disaster". (Drakengard 3)
  • A city appears over night on the Iberian Peninsula. Theft and other crimes explode amongst the refugees and insurgents. Eye witness reports of strangely morphed creatures begin to flood in. (World Inside[2])

858[]

  • The Eastern Roman Empire falls. Swarms of huge dragons come flying in, decimating kingdoms until nothing but ash is left behind over night. (World Inside[2])

862[]

  • Monarchy of West, Middle, and East Francia falls. Following the reckless murder of Louis II of Middle Francia, scores of riots break out in the surrounding countries. (World Inside[2])

865[]

  • Concept of Midgard is formed. Rumors of the Cathedral City spreads. The entire scope of Europe began to lose sight of national boundaries with the downfall of multiple countries. In the end, people came to call what was left of the region "Midgard". The people began to call the mysterious city that appeared after the Cataclysm the "Cathedral City". (World Inside[2])

867[]

  • Pythagoras Institute established. Nobles and intellectuals from the former kingdoms escaped to the Cathedral City with little more than their lives and set up the Pythagoras Institute to study the disaster and rise in abnormalities throughout the world. (World Inside)

868[]

  • Chaldea Gate constructed. The Ten Days of Tragedy. Unfortunately, the Cathedral City could not accept all of the refugees for lack of food. In order to regulate how many people were allowed to enter the city, they built the Chaldea Gate in three days. Rioting broke out between the refugees and the City’s Self-Defense Forces, which continued to rage on for the following week. (Ten Days of Tragedy) (World Inside[2])

869[]

  • One after another, people began showing strange “miracle” powers such as the power of destruction or the ability to find water veins in the ground. (World Inside[2])

870[]

  • The Pythagoras Institute confirms the existence of “Magic”. (World Inside[2])

872[]

  • The Cathedral City came under strict order and social function by those who used such “miracle” power. (World Inside[2])

875[]

  • The Pythagoras Institute constructs a system to authorize and and keep track of those who use miracles, and thusly begin to dictate social status. Miracle Users, or simply Users, bring order and social function to the city. (World Inside[2])

878[]

  • The Chaldea Gate opens for the first time in ten years. The city sees a growth in population, and the Users begin their rule. This may be seen as a new era of control for the Pythagoras Institute. (SINoALICE)
  • Chaldea Gate opens. For the first time in ten years, the Chaldea Gate is opened and the city function expands. The Users begin local rule as faith and religion of the past begins to deteriorate. A new faith concept of “The Users and Miracles of the Pythagoras Institute Church” spread throughout the community. (World Inside[2])

882[]

  • Council of Chaldea. This is the first public meeting between the Church and The Pythagoras Institute, which held power before The Great Disaster. In order to bring peace to a confused world, they declared the establishment of a new "church" as an organization. The Pythagoras Institute was incorporated as a confidential institution under the direct control of the Church, and the name of The Pythagoras Institute has since disappeared from historical records. The Church strengthened the registration system to prevent rebellion by "users", who are called "magicians". At the same time, research into "sealing magic" that controls magical power is actively conducted. (World Inside)

885[]

  • Magical Overload Accident. When a magician loses control of his power, a third of the city is destroyed. The Church announces that it is thanks to the research done on Seal Magic that the magician’s power could be suppressed. (In actuality, the experiment on Seal Magic failed and caused bodily enlargement to the caster, who became nothing more than a giant foot that proceeded to trample and kill over 2,000 people in the Slums over a single night. The official announcement by the Church is as previously stated.) (World Inside[2])

888[]

  • The fourth Cathedral City expansion program is executed. The growth and expansion of the city goes well.

The Church aims to expand their territory with the goal of ensuring the "everlasting peace of Midgard through prayer and magic." (World Inside[2])

890[]

  • The Church Investigation Committee is established. Neighboring self-governing dominions accept volunteers to form the "Church Investigation Committee". (World Inside[2])

892[]

  • Each self-governing dominion around the city is taken over in succession by the Church Investigation Committee and their large-scale magical weapons after the attending magicians allowed their usage. They essentially become a magical armed force. (World Inside[2])

895[]

  • The power of the Church expands in each area. (World Inside[2])

904[]

  • The Church expands throughout the Iberian Peninsula. The Church Investigation Committee sets out on an expedition across each of the self-governing dominions to gain control of these areas. Once order has been achieved, it becomes custom for the Committee to rule these areas on their own, setting up the first "Lords of the Land" system. (World Inside[2])

907[]

  • The Tang dynasty in east Asia falls. (World Inside[2])

930[]

  • The building blocks of magic is completed by the Magic Academy. The spread of magic expands and becomes a common technique thereafter. (World Inside[2])

938[]

  • In an attempt to retain power while it continues to expand, the Church enters into a mutually beneficial relationship with each Lord of the Land who had control of large territories. (World Inside[2])

951[]

  • It is routine for powerful people of the Church to accept bribes by the Lords of the Land. Fights among the governing Lords is frequent in each area. The territories governed by these Lords begin to be referred to as the "Land of Mountains" and the "Land of Forests". (World Inside[2])

960[]

  • The Sung dynasty is founded. The first Magic Academy President is elected. Since the newly elected president is not familiar with magic at all, this causes a void between the Church echelon and the Lords of the Land. Unease among the magicians in the Magic Academy begins to fester. (World Inside[2])

971[]

  • The White Rebellion breaks out. Under the current system, the Magic Academy Presidential Elections are conducted by the Lords of the Land cause some young magicians to rebel. Although incensed magicians rally for the replacement of the president within the Central Magic Academy located in the Cathedral City they are suppressed in a single night (The White Rebellion). (World Inside[2])

981[]

985[]

  • Famine breaks out. Wide-spread famine breaks out. The food supply from the surrounding dominions into the Cathedral City is greatly reduced for several years. In the world of politics, it becomes commonplace for the Church's upper echelon and influential people to give money and goods, weaponry, women and children to the Lords of the Land in exchange for food. (World Inside[2])

986[]

  • The "Blue Corps" is established. Magicians dissatisfied with the corruption going on within the Magic Academy and the politics regarding the food shortage for poor class decided to form an underground organization to start a revolution. This group became known as the "Blue Corps". (World Inside[2])

990[]

  • The Blue Corps becomes active. Many young magicians approve them. Even some of the Lords of the Land who are dissatisfied with the Church approve. The Church is said to be weakening as their armaments and talented people dwindle under the food shortage and engaging in bribery for many years. (World Inside[2])

991[]

  • The Youth League instigates a large-scale rebellion within the Cathedral City. They were eliminated with magic upon occupying the Central Magic Academy ― many citizens lost their lives during the incident. (SINoALICE)
  • The Blue Rebellion breaks out. The Church announces a large-scale renovation of the waterways and begins construction. A large-scale revolt (the Blue Rebellion) breaks out in the Cathedral City by the Blue Corps. The Blue Corps occupies the Central Magic Academy with the hope to put a halt to the government and the Church. Their long-term goals include "abolishing the Lords of the Lands' power while establishing freedom and independence of the Magic Academy". Nonetheless, the Blue Corps is entirely decimated overnight by a Seal Magic attack that encompasses the entire city. At the same time, 80% of the citizens who live in two wards of the city die as catalysts for the Seal Magic. Even though there were some survivors, they appeared to have lost their minds in the confusion, construction to bury them alive was underway. (World Inside[2])

993[]

  • After the "Blue Rebellion", the number of applicants approved by the Magic Academy to become legal magicians decreases sharply. The government and Church increasingly depend upon the military prowess of the Lords of the Land. Invested by the Lords, magical experiments by the opposition rapidly increases. The situation of the Magic Academy and the Church falls into uncertainty. (World Inside[2])

994[]

  • Eventually, no new presidents from the lands ruled by the Lords of the Land are elected for the Magic Academy in each location. Even though they managed to obtain independence, with the loss of support from the Lords of the Land, the Magic Academy follows the same path toward decline.
    Magical experiments by the opposition continue vigorously. The Magic Academy lifts a ban on a previously forbidden magical art. The balance of magical power in Europe falls into chaos. (World Inside[2])

995[]

  • The Cathedral City is reduced to ruins. An unprecedented large-scale accident occurs within the Central Magic Academy in the Cathedral City. It is said to be a singing error of the forbidden art by a female magician, but the details of the accident are unclear. It is discovered later that dust from the explosion appeared to resemble a gigantic flower in the night sky. The scale of destruction from the accident encompasses the entire city; all trace of people within the city fades away as the city is reduced to ruins. (World Inside[2])

2003[]

June[]
12th[]
  • Approximately 3:00 PM - a massive white statue (henceforth referred to as "The Giant") appears from the sky in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
  • Shortly thereafter, a red winged entity (henceforth referred to as "The Dragon") falls from the sky.
  • The Dragon and the Giant engage in a battle. The principle behind and effects of the attacks are a mystery. A piercing series of sounds are heard across the area.
  • The Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF) observes the situation and plans counter-measures. An emergency Cabinet meeting takes place regarding the situation.
  • Approximately 4:00 PM - the Giant falls and breaks apart. The composition of the Giant is unable to be determined. The substance is similar to sodium chloride but lacks any manner of mass or weight. It quickly disperses and vanishes from the area.
  • Shortly after the fall of the Giant, Bravo-One (Callsign "Scarface") of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's 6th Air Wing, 303rd Squadron shoots down the Dragon with a missile strike. The body is later recovered from atop Tokyo Tower and taken to a government research facility for testing.
  • This event becomes known as the "6-12 Incident". It results in 56 fatalities, 320 injuries, and an economic cost of over 60 billion yen.
  • A gag order is issued regarding the events of 6-12, but videos and photos of the incident circulate on the Internet soon thereafter. Fears of terrorism, foreign plots, and other conspiracy theories soon follow the extraordinary events.
