Hexyz Force is set in a world split between light and dark and follows the exploits of Hexyz, heroes who have inherited the power of the gods. Long ago, Norvia, the Goddess of Creation, descended from the heavens. Using the Holy Vessel, a divine chalice charged with all Force (the spiritual energy in the universe,) she created life, and for a while, all was good. Then, Delgaia, the god of Destruction, brought about a great calamity known as the Gods' Remorse, intending to return all Force to the Holy Vessel. But the Delgaia was defeated and sealed away deep within the earth. Norvia then made a covenant to restore Berge to its former beauty on the condition that when the Hour of Judgment came to pass, the world would have to decide its ultimate path: creation or destruction.
