Prologue
Long ago, before the Spiral Knights ever set foot on Cradle, there was the nation of Almire, a strong and powerful country destined for greatness. Its people prospered, and for a while, all was good in their world. But then... Catastrophe struck. The two neighboring nations, Brittania and Razosa, waged war upon Almire, jealous of its prosperity, and laid waste to all in their paths. The young and noble king of Almire, Vanaduke, fled from the nation and hid in the mountains, soon becoming a raging monstrosity that destroyed both Brittania and Razosa in the blink of an eye. He now resides in the blazing remains of his once shining castle, the Firestorm Citadel, eager to destroy any tresspassers who dare attack his kingdom.

And then, seven hundred years later, a new threat arose. The Swarm, a deadly primordial vortex of death and destruction was borne from the Core. It took Haven and destroyed everything. The Order was forced out and into the few, already crowded rescue camps. All of the scholars and wisest professors tried to research the Swarm, but none could find its weakness. Until one day, a band of young knights accidentally set fire to a Swarm beast, then froze electrocuted, and poisoned the monster, unwittingly finding the weakness of the Swarm: the elements. Still, even with all their best elemental gear, a whole army of Spiralians would never be able to defeat the power source of the Swarm, a demon known as the Aku. All would be lost, until fate smiled upon the Order once again. They found ancient texts, stolen from the Undead Legion of Almire, that spoke of 4 chosen knights... And 4 deadly weapons that could potentially destroy the Swarm once and for all: the Eclipse scythe, the Solstice Blaster, the Moon bomb, and the most powerful of all, the Sol Blade. Each of them, however, were located in 4 different shrines: the Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water towers. The texts also spoke of a dragon that would be a guide and lead the worthy to the shrines, but the last of the mighty Dragons went extinct from overhunting by Spiralians.

*random epic cutscene of a little boy finding a dragon egg, (like Eragon!) hatching it, taking care of it, bla bla bla, etc.*
Or so they thought.

In the end, the evil was destroyed and all was well again, but as history shows, there will always be darkness and corruption.
The Order ended up fighting over who would control the new nation, and they ended up choosing a young but good and wise ruler to be Emperor of the Order. It didnt work out well. Corrupt officials also rose to power in the imperial court and planned to overthrow the Emperor. One of these corrupt men, their leader, is named Evan Wallace, a rich man who amassed a fortune from drug trafficking, banking, assassinating, and more.

( side note: he owns the auction house now.)

But even thats not enough for Evan. He wants more power and plans to overthrow the imperial family. In his way are only a few brave children (more around teenager age though) that are the Emperor's most trusted, known as The Dragoneyes, and their friends and families, and he will stop at nothing to kill them all.

To make matters worse, there is a terrorist cult that supposedly has the ability to resurrect the evil of the Swarm, the Cult of Oblivion.

(they wont be featured much, maybe not at all, but they will in the next story.)

Its very improbable, maybe even impossible for anyone to even THINK of the notion of defeating a billionaire madman, stopping the imperial government from toppling ITSELF, AND having to deal with an evil group of terrorists, but for some people, improbable doesnt mean impossible.

Reader, i should tell you first.... This is a story of death. Of betrayal. Of savagery, evil, political strife, and darkness. But it also is a story of courage, and the ability to overcome impossible odds. Behold, the Rise of the Golden Sun!
