Hiraya (literally means imagination) is a country in North Blue and its people are called Hirayan. In the beginning, it was said that this land is home to deities who walked the earth and helped people build their nation. There was peace until the twin brothers namely Kanlaon and Sitan fought for supremacy. Kanlaon declared the victor would claim the Kaluwalhatian (Upperworld) and took his agents with him. Sitan and his four agents descended to the Kasanaan (Underworld). As Daigdig (Middleworld) continued to grow, so as the powers of the deities who remained in the middle.
Wars erupted from one nation to another. Each war was sparked by hatred and envy. Each emotion is ignited by the gods themselves. And for thousands of years, this cycle of life and death goes on and on. Until the deliverer unites all the warring kingdoms, peace is just a word of the past. A long-forgotten one.

Kanlaon is the supreme god of the Hirayans; creator of man and earth and addressed sometimes as Bathalang Maykapal (Almighty God). He dwells in Kaluwalhatian (Heaven) together with the lesser gods and goddesses.

Ruler of the Kasanaan (Underworld), a place of punishment ruled by Sitan (Dark Bathala). He is the keeper of all souls therein. He has four agents whose task was to lead man to sin and destruction.
The same Gods were the reason why Hiraya has four noble houses. Each of them is headed by a king or queen. Each Kingdom worships a different god. The first one is the Lireo Kingdom of the east. The Lireans are worshippers of Kanlaon and its agents. The second one is the Sapiro Kingdom of the north, which also worships Kanlaon but they mostly patronize gods who provide good harvest and guidance at war. Next is the Adamya of the south, who worships the same gods the Sapiryans worship for they are related by blood - only Adamyans are half-dwarves, half-human. And last but certainly not least is the Hathoria of the west. Home of the devils and wielders of fire. Hathorians are ruthless worshippers of Sitan and all of his agents.This country also has four other tribes. Ascano - a territory in the northernmost part of Sapiro; home of the Barbaros and Giants. Adjantao - a territory in the northeast; home of individuals called Mandirigma (warriors). This is where you will find Gambit's past. A place where the past is kept hidden for years. The third one is Avila/Avalon – a territory in the northwest; home of the winged creatures called Mulawin. And the last one, Punjabwe. This small archipelago is located east of Adamya and southeast of Lireo. But beware, sailors, this is the home of the female pirates!
Though Kingdom Lireo is the recognized ruling imperial house, all four houses are equal in power and influence. Each house has its own army, called upon to battle by the ruling monarch. All four houses are constantly desiring the throne.
This mass of land was meant to be part of the kingdoms affiliated with the world government but they managed to be an autonomous country. It is also the only kingdom in North Blue never touched by the Germa Kingdom for their military might is far greater than they are.
If someone can unite all houses and tribes, the 800-year-long barrened land at its center will be opened and a new kingdom shall rise - Perlas ng Silanganan (Pearl of the Orient Seas).
Until then, let the war begin.
