Editing Langrisser (section)

==Story==
El Sallia, since time immemorial, has been influenced by the power of "gods". The evil gods were originally their own tribe, and over time one rose to power to dominate all the others. He was the dark god, [[Chaos (cosmogony)|Chaos]], worshiped by the devil tribe. Conversely, Lushiris, a goddess of light, was worshiped by the humans. Each god has its own [[Avatar (computing)|avatar]] to exercise its power in the human world and prepare for its coming. Chaos' avatar is Böser (German: "evil one"), a prince of darkness who is really the trapped soul of a damned human. Lushiris' avatar is Jessica, a magician. Each avatar has been entrusted with a sword that carries the weight of the gods' powers. Böser is responsible for Alhazard, and Jessica is responsible for Langrisser. By choosing a champion for the swords in each era, they influence the world in an endless series of wars. Langrisser itself is a copy of Alhazard made in ancient times and bound to the soul of Sieghart, the first king to rule Elthlead, later called Baldea, as a Descendant of Light.

The series includes ties to Team Career's earlier strategy games. The storyline of ''Elthlead'' and its sequel ''Gaia no Monshō'' (both released in 1987) depict Sieghart's battles against Böser for the power of Gaia, which serve as the backstory of the original ''Langrisser'' (with Böser appearing as the antagonist for all three games). The titular ancient mech from ''Gaiflame'' (which is set in the distant future) makes an appearance in ''Langrisser IV'' along with other mechs used by the player in the same game.
