Story Background
Tales of Berseria is set in a world called Desolation, more specifically in the Holy Midgand Empire. The Holy Midgand Empire is a powerful nation that rules over the islands in Desolation.
This game shares the same world as Tales of Zestiria, which takes place in the past. There are countless islands and Midgand rules them all even beyond the seas.
The mainland and island areas in this game are divided into several territories. There is another race named Malakim that lives side by side with humans.
Malakim are supernatural spirits who were sealed and enslaved by humans to harness their magical abilities after being made visible to normal human eyes as a result of Advent.
Advent is an incident that occurred 3 years before Velvet Crowe's escape from the prison island called Titania.
Meanwhile, a disease known as daemonblight begins to spread throughout the kingdom. This disease deprives people of their humanity and common sense.
Daemonblight turns people into monsters called Daemons that threaten world peace.
Together with the ruler of the Holy Midgand Empire, formed a theocratic order called the Abbey. Abbey has great political and religious influence in the kingdom.
The Exorcists, soldiers from the Abbey, are tasked with bringing peace and order by eradicating Daemin from the world. They took various extreme things to achieve this goal.
