Garland

The Demon Kingdom Garland (ガーランド) is the demon nation in Tortus' southern continent. It was originally known as the "Igdol Empire" (イグドール) during the age of the Liberators.

Layout
Garland's architecture is nearly identical to the Heiligh Kingdom, with the only difference being that all of the buildings’ roofs are rust-red.

Ideology
Garland's religion revolved around worshipping of the God Alva. It was believed that Alva is the one "true" God of Tortus and that Ehit, the God worshipped by the various Human Kingdoms of Tortus, was deemed to be a false god that usurped Alva's place as the true God of Tortus. This in turn has greatly motivated the Demon Race to wage a war against humanity to eliminate the false faith of Ehit from the world.

This fanatical devotion was all ironically created by their "true" God Alva under the orders of his true master,Ehit, who unknowingly to the Demon Race, was in fact nothing more than Ehit's servant and a lesser God. Alva successfully cultivated this religious belief and fanatical devotion within the Demon Race in order to make them all the more manipulable as his pawns for his mad game of life and death.

This resulted in the Demon Race, blindly and fanatically following Ehit's orders and whims unknowingly through the decree's of Alva.

History
The Demon nation has had a long history of war against the Humans of Tortus.

During the age of the Liberators, when the Demon Lord, who was also the father of the Liberator Vandre Schnee, discovered his son could use Ancient Magic, he used him to create an army of monsters in order to exterminate humanity and enacted a large-scale war. The end result, however, was a stalemate, in which both sides suffered heavy casualties.

The year after the war, the Demon Lord's position was usurped by his other son Rasul Alva Igdol. As a result, the Igdol Empire had started focusing its efforts on domestic affairs and had maintained that for over ten years. In that time, there had only been a few small skirmishes between Igdol and the Human Kingdoms.

Thousands of years later, Igdol had been renamed "Garland", and had still maintained its hostile relationship with humanity. Generally the Demons were always at a stalemate whenever battling the Human Kingdoms, but they managed too gain the upper hand after General Freid Bagwa conquered one of the Great Labyrinths and acquire the Ancient Magic that allowed him to create Monsters under his control. They attempted to recruit the so-called "chosen heroes" to their side or kill them if they refuse. They had one of them to become their spy for the war in the Heiligh Kingdom.

Garland launched a military campaign that simultaneously targeted most of the human nations on the northern continent, as well as the Beastman nation Verbergen. Despite their best efforts, they were all thwarted due to Hajime Nagumo and his allies.

When Ehit decided to wipe out all life on Tortus, the demons were deemed as the "chosen race" that would avoid the rest of their world's fate, and were transported to the realm of the gods, known as the Sanctuary.
