El Phildin (エル・フィルディン) is the northwestern continent that serves as the setting for The Legend of Heroes IV: A Tear of Vermillion.

Background

Also known as "the land where the gods sleep" (神々の眠る地), El Phildin is the land where the gods Bardus and Octum clashed. After the gods fell dormant, the land was continuously engulfed by never-ending wars until the warrior Milligan quelled the individual conflicts and unified the entire land. He established an enormous confederation. With support from the Church of Bardus, Milligan was enthroned as king and established Phildin as the royal capital.

Belief in Bardus, the God of Light, flourished in El Phildin. The Church of Bardus, which has its High Seat established the Holy City of Valkd, preaches its teachings throughout the land, offering support the spirits of man even today. Inhabitants of El Phildin enjoy their daily lives under the rule of the royal family and guidance of the Church of Bardus.

According to ancient scriptures written in hieroglyphs, the world was once a much vaster place. Attempts to leave El Phildin, however, whether by land or by sea, will always be hampered by natural barriers. Many adventurers, explorers and investigation teams of the Church of Bardus in the past have challenged the Legione Sierra, Simula Salim, Chaos Vortex and Gagharv, yet none of them have ascertained what the end of the world really entails.
