An Empyrean (聖主 Shousu?, "Holy Lord") is an extremely powerful malak in Tales of Berseria. There are five in total, and they provide the foundation for the world. These powerful beings are also present in Tales of Zestiria, which takes place around 1,000 years after the events of Tales of Berseria.
History[]
Tales of Berseria[]
By the end of the story, Innominat, the Empyrean of Suppression, is replaced by Maotelus, the Empyrean of Void. The four elemental Empyreans, who previously lay dormant, assume the vessels of Oscar Dragonia (Hyanoa), Teresa Linares (Amenoch), Shigure Rangetsu (Musiphe), and Melchior Mayvin (Eumacia).
Tales of Zestiria[]
In Tales of Zestiria, the Empyreans are known as the Five Lords (五大神 Godaishin?, "Five Great Gods"), the most powerful seraphim on the continent of Glenwood and the source of seraphic artes. With the aid of their leader, Maotelus, their blessing covers the entire continent, allowing them to maintain its balance. While Musiphe, Amenoch, Eumacia, and Hyanoa, govern the elements of nature, Maotelus governs over humanity, making him the most popular of the lords.
Each lord, with the exception of Maotelus, possesses a dedicated shrine that serves as a trial for the Shepherd, watched over by their protector seraphim.
