Attack On Titan
Description
Attack on Titan is set in a world where humanity lives inside cities surrounded by enormous Walls that protect them from Titans, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour humans seemingly without reason. The story of the Titans begins over 1800 years before the aforementioned premiere is set. The first Titan, a young girl named Ymir, once lived a provincial life in a small village. Everything changed when a warrior tribe called the Eldians attacked. The villagers were either killed or enslaved; Ymir was one of the "lucky" latter ones. Paradis Island was a massive island on which the three Walls were located, and Eldia's last territory. It was just off the coast of Marley and is surrounded by the ocean. Marley used the island in the past as a dumping ground for its Eldian criminals, turning them into Pure Titans as punishment. In this context, the island was often called "Heaven". By the year 851, the island had been cleared of Pure Titans thanks to the use of the Executioner from Hell devices, allowing its inhabitants to roam freely outside the Walls. Late into the history of the Eldian Empire, Karl Fritz, the 145th monarch of the Fritz family, chose to abandon the conflict over the Nine Titans between the subservient Eldian families on the continental mainland and moved the capital of Eldia to Paradis Island, a remote island at the time. In the King's absence, the Great Titan War continued to cripple the Eldian Empire as the eight Titan families would engage in an endless cycle of conspiracy and betrayal. As Eldia lost more and more territory to the Marleyans, the King gathered as many Eldians and members of the royal family as was possible before raising three Walls using countless Colossus Titans around their last piece of undisputed territory in the year 743. Sometime after the raising of the Walls, the new Marley government built a 30-meter border Wall along the southern shore of the island to prevent the Titans from escaping to the ocean. To deal with Eldian criminals, Marley sends them to the island and turn them into Titans to wander outside the Walls for eternity. Paradis Island hosts the Eldian refugees from the Great Titan War. Most of these Eldians are Subjects of Ymir, although those who are not live as nobles, except for the Ackermans. Paradis Island appears to have a temperate climate, with the northern regions of the land being especially cold, rarely exceeding 30°C on the hottest summer days. However, the coldness of the northern regions of the island are alleviated by the occasional presence of hot springs.
