''Genealogy of the Holy War'' is set in [[Jugdral]], a land whose rulers bear the holy bloodlines of the [[Twelve Crusaders]]. The game is split up into two halves, separated by the timespan of a generation. In the first generation, while most of his nation's army is off to war in the eastern nation of [[Isaach]], Lord [[Sigurd]] defends the duchies of [[Grannvale]] from a sudden invasion by the neighbouring Kingdom of [[Verdane]], but is rapidly embroiled in a conspiracy against his father, [[Byron]], in the events which ultimately lead to the birth of the Grannvale Empire, and in the machinations of the [[Loptr Church]] to create a human vessel for their dark [[god]] [[Loptous]] - the same tyranny fought by his son, [[Seliph]], seventeen years later in the second generation.
