Broken Blade Plot:
Broken Blade’s story revolves around Rygart Arrow, an un-sorcerer in a world of magic users. Magic users have the ability to manipulate quartz to operate machines and also pilot mechas called Golems. A son of a farmer, Rygart, the future king of Krisna, Hodyr, brother of Athen’s Secretary of War, Zess, and the future queen of Krisna and engineering genius, Sigyn, all went to Assam Military School.
Several year later, Rygart is summoned by the King, Hodr, and Queen, Sigyn, and is told that Athens is going to invade Krisna and that Zess is leading a special force to kill Hodr. While at Krisna’s capital, Sigyn shows Rygart an ancient golem that no magic users can pilot and that she suspects that Rygart is the only one who can pilot it. Despite the Golem being ancient, it shows abilities far superior to modern Golems. Rygart soon gets involved in Athens’ and Krisna’s war to try and save his best friends.
