The 'Skullbreakers' have been documented to exist for hundreds of years, seemingly predating humans. However, there is no reference to their history before that, only fragments of metal components and stone shards as memories.

Based on long-term observations and written records, they live in groups and are distributed among different tribes. The warriors of each tribe become the leaders called Shaikhs, and the most powerful among the Shaikhs becomes the Chief, leading all the tribes.

After the death of the Chief, another Shaikh takes their place, so although the Chief is the center of the 'Skullbreakers,' they are not an absolute existence.

The 'Skullbreakers' resemble male humans in appearance but lack sexual characteristics. Female 'Skullbreakers' have never been observed.

They do not possess a highly developed civilization and lead a simple life, using wood, bones, and stones as their basic materials. They do not speak human languages and communicate through unique roars and signals. They are also known for their swift and coordinated actions.

They worship war and believe in the ideology of a warrior nation. Even the ordinary civilians possess strong and robust physiques akin to warriors. Among them are the wizards who dress in peculiar and distinctive attire and are responsible for rituals, seemingly following some kind of deity. Their main source of food is the flesh of other creatures, including humans.

The historical origins can only be traced back to the 'Skullbreakers' invading human territories, leading to a fierce war between the two sides. Eventually, humans retreated to the outskirts of the continent, settling along the coasts from northeast to southeast. The central region is rich in resources, including veins of minerals, gemstones, forests, and lakes, making it a precious resource hub known as 'Paradise'.

Later on, among the defeated humans, there was a man named "Moto" who along with his four brothers, united the humans and established Homeland. Moto became the king, and each of his three brothers built the cities of Grandecy, Squarein, Compason, and Northano, surrounded by sturdy walls to prevent external attacks.

Now, collectively known as Homeland, except for the capital city of Grandecy, the remaining three cities are ruled by the descendants of Moto's brothers, each governing their own city.

Interestingly, the "Skullbreaker" has never attacked the four cities of Homeland. They only occasionally invade Paradise and villages, while the rest of the "Skullbreaker" settle beneath the massive mountain range known as The Bisect Gable.

The Bisect Gable is a huge mountain range that spans the entire land from north to south, and the entire region beneath the mountain range serves as the stronghold of the "Skullbreaker." No one knows what lies beyond the mountains, as it is impossible to traverse the towering peaks, especially with a large number of "Skullbreaker" guarding it.

The hope of humanity is placed on the other side of The Bisect Gable because occasional observations from the lookout station reveal that birds sometimes cross the mountain range in search of food. There may be unknown creatures or opportunities on the other side.

There are always people who are unwilling to be bound by city walls. They choose to settle in villages outside the walls, enjoying freedom and abundant resources, but at the same time facing the crisis of attacks from the "Skullbreaker" and other exotic beasts. Therefore, Homeland has established lookout stations in various villages to protect the villages and keep an eye on the movements of the "Skullbreaker".

The entire continent is surrounded by the endless sea. Homeland once sent exploration teams from the four cities to venture out to sea, but none of them returned. They firmly believe that there are terrifying disasters or creatures awaiting them at sea. Therefore, they continue to fight against the "Skullbreaker," solely for the hope beyond The Bisect Gable.

Even in the most desperate environment, humans should never give up hope.
