Chronicles of the Sword
Chronicles of the Sword is a mode for your custom characters, which incorporates a mix of real-time strategy with traditional Soul Calibur fights. You progress through 20 different chronicles, navigating a team of custom or pre-made characters across a map Etaking strongholds as you go. When you come into contact with your enemies you can watch your characters battle it out on the map screen or you can take control yourself and face them in a Soul Calibur style fight. Each time you defeat an opponent your character will level up - increasing their stats. Each time you complete a Chronicle you will be rewarded with Gold - the more requirements you fulfil the more you will earn.

Prologue
This is yet another tale of souls and swords...

Once, there existed on a great continent three countries--

The Grandall Empire, the Kingdom of Dalkia, and the Halteese Republic.

The Kingdom of Dalkia and the Halteese Republic waged a great war against one another for countless years. The Grandall Empire stayed out of the conflict, amassing their army quietly. Then, the impasse was suddenly broken as the Dalkian Kingdom declared war on Grandall Empire. Amidst the conflict and conspiracy, a new republic, Maletta, emerged...

At the time, the great tactician Chester, who instigated the conflict which later came to be known as the Mantis War, had no yet appeared in the annals of history. And the individual who was to be a key figure in the war was a mere cadet in the Grandall army...
