Story[]
Approximately 1,600 years prior to the events of Octopath Traveler, Galdera attempted to seize the power of the gods for himself. The battle that ensued concluded when Aelfric brought the Sacred Flame from the heavens, sealing Galdera away in the afterworld.
Long before the events of Champions of the Continent and Octopath Traveler, Finis turned Brand into the Ring of the Thunderblade and bestowed it upon the people. The ring ended up falling into the hands of Ceraphina, who gifted it to Tytos.
In Octopath Traveler II, Brand appears among the eight gods who sacrificed themselves to defeat the wicked god Vide, after which the eight gods fell into a deep slumber.
