Introduction

The Pou Pou empire was born out of the struggle of a small kingdom looking to survive in the face of aggressive neighbors. When the war began the rulers at the time, good men who were simply trying to protect their people, could never have foreseen that there would be no end to the conflict. True, there were periods of less fighting when the garrisons were not nearly as full and ships carried more trade than materials of war. In the end, some ambitious ruler would start up the battles anew. Sometime in the second century of the conquests a nameless wag in some forgotten corner of the land looked upon a recruiting poster and referred to it as the endless war. Someone else overheard the sardonic remark and seeing the truth in the statement repeated it to a friend; thus the name came about, the Endless War.

This story relates a series of events that occurred on the other side of the world from the capital city of Pou and the founding of a friendly land that only distance and humility kept from being yet another foe to the Pou Pou empire. This is the story of the Paladins Mass.
