The Northern Union of Patria and the Southern Confederation of Patria. They fought a long civil war, which finally came to an end when the North used a forbidden technology. They created Incarnates, beings with godlike powers, and this quickly turned the tables in the war. The Incarnates brought victory to the North and they were regarded as heroes, but their tremendous power became a double-edged sword, as it slowly made them lose their minds. Because of this, the Incarnate squad captain, Hank, swears an oath with his squad.

Hank's nemesis, Cain Madhouse, finally appears before them. The sudden appearance leaves Hank in shock and Schaal is taken. In order to get Schaal back, Hank accepts Cain's invitation to a party, even though he knows that it's a trap. There are many wealthy people among the crowd at the party. Eventually, Cain appears before them and the crowd applauds. Cain sees Hank in the crowd and begins to laugh ominously. What was the truth behind this?
