Alternative title:
Break Blade
ブレイク ブレイド (Japanese)
Themes: mecha, military, war
Plot Summary: The inhabitants of the continent of Cruzon are born with the ability to freely control quartz. Technology based on this power allows everyone to move vehicles and use mecha called Golem. Krishna is curently facing an invasion from its neighbouring country Athens. Rygart Arrow is an un-sorcerer, a rare individual who is unable to levitate even the smallest crystal. He receives a letter from an old friend, Hodr, the current king. Hodr called him because an ancient type of Golem has been found in a mining shaft. No one has been able to move it and Queen Sigyn, an expert engineer, suspects that maybe an un-sorcerer might be the key to activate it.
