King Darkan Marus, also known as "The Stallwart Giant" was the founder of the United States of Heraclia. A person of great strength and bravery in battle capable of defeating and foe in battle. Leaving the greatest warriors in defeat at the age of 9 and defeating the wizards in their own fields as well.
During the stalemate of the eight nations, King Darkan retreated to one of the many isolated grasslands of Heraclia to train, later surpassing his previous capabilities. He eventually transcended human capabilities and became somewhat like a god and was later confronted by the Immortal Terranus, whom gifted him with his Regalia. He later challenged Terranus to a duel, to which he was easily defeated and was capable of landing only one successful hit against him with the use of his Regalia. After his defeat, Terranus commended him for being able to unleash Titerra's true power but told him he would die after 8 days. It was from here that he immediately rushed back to his home and within those 8 days, he had managed to pass down as much knowledge as he could as well as the creation of different military formations that would keep them adept in different situations in war that has helped Heraclia stand even today.
He later vanished, never to return leaving his son Darkan II heir to the throne. Until today, his battle formations in war as well as Earth magics are still being taught today in Heraclia. And even today, nobody has still found his corpse or final resting place. But legends say that wherever he rests, the Regalia Titerra must be with him, keeping the land intact as well as waiting for it's next true master...
