Legends say that a thousand years ago, the Age of Darkness and Chaos reached its peak. Corrupted beings and Engkanto—supernatural entities were the primary cause of the mass death of thousands of innocent souls, driving humanity to the edge of extinction. Some fought back, but their resistance was not enough. Civilization crumbled, and hope became a scarce, flickering ember.
In response, a neutral faction of Engkanto known as the Agma—mystics renowned for their powerful soul magic but cursed with fragile, brittle bodies—rebelled against their own kind. These ethereal scholars, once revered as keepers of balance, could no longer stand idle as the realms descended into madness. In a bold act of defiance, they allied with humanity's greatest warriors in a desperate attempt to restore order to the mortal world. But even united, their numbers were too few to withstand the overwhelming might of corrupted legions and hostile Engkanto warlords.
With time running out, the Agma proposed a final, desperate solution. They would craft an artifact capable of turning the tide. To do so, they cast one of their most sacred soul spells, calling upon the spirits of fallen heroes who had given their lives in battle. Yet even that power fell short. In an ultimate act of sacrifice, several Agma offered their own souls, binding them to the spell to complete the artifact—an act that shattered their physical forms and scattered their consciousness into the very ether of the earth.
From the creation of the said artifact, a new breed of warrior was born—beings forged from the union of human courage and Agma essence. These hybrids, known as Engkata, inherited the Agma's supernatural abilities—manipulating the soul, wielding magic beyond mortal comprehension—while retaining the endurance, strength, and willpower of humanity. Their very presence was said to resonate with divine purpose. With their arrival, the tides of war shifted. The Engkata, alongside their allies, became the vanguard of the resistance. They hunted the corrupted, sealed the rifts between realms, and forced back the darkness that once blanketed the skies.
To ensure peace would last, the Engkata established a secretive order known as Agimatayo. Tasked with guarding the equilibrium between worlds, they now stand as protectors of all realms—unseen but ever present, moving in silence, ready to strike down any force that dares threaten the fragile harmony bought with blood, magic, and sacrifice. Their oath is not bound by nation or creed, but by the memory of what was lost—and a promise that it will never happen again.
