Elves live extraordinarily long lives, yet they do not have immortal bodies. This gentle and fragile race experienced immense agony and suffering over the lengthy history of the Land of Dawn before ultimately settling in the Azrya Woodlands. Miya was there through it all.
Born near the end of the era of conflict, Miya witnessed the indescribable tragedy that befell the elves in the never-ending war, followed the goddess of the moon to be saved, and experienced the Second Continental War with humans firsthand, and her I've seen a lot of kin. After Abyssal Corruption corrupts the Shadow Swamp, she degenerates into a Dark Elf.

Desperate by the evil fate of the race and the scars of war, Miya dreamed of a peaceful life, in which the moon goddess finally protects the elves of the Azria forest and the moon goddess uses all her powers to make the moon aegis. when it was realized. She can thrive under Aegis' protection.
After that, the moon goddess fell into a deep sleep and Miya became a priest. For thousands of years she served the Moon Temple with absolute reverence, praying that the Moon goddess would awaken and that she would one day protect the plagued elves forever.
But this period in her life was doomed to end. As the abyss and demons continue to expand, the mists of war again cover the land of dawn. As humans and the abyss entered a dead end, a conflict arose among the elves over their attitude to war. The camp led by the elf king Estes believed that the evil abyss would bring calamity to the entire continent, and that the elves should take the lead in defeating the demons.

Many other elves believed that their race had suffered enough and should never again be drawn into war. Instead, they lived safely in the forest of Azria under the protection of the moon goddess Aegis. What Estes couldn't understand was that his sister Miya was on the other side of this inner conflict. Although she cherished the world, Miya still firmly remembers the moon goddess' last command to protect her people. Therefore, she no longer wanted to see the lives of elves sacrificed in the name of justice.
In the end, the majority of the elves decided to defend the forest of Azria, but little knew that it heralded another calamity. Lunar Aegis had the ability to stop the spread of corruption in her realm, but could not stop the powerful demon army. To attack the Monyan Empire, demonic armies decided to bypass the insurmountable Lantis Mountains and march in the Shadow Swamps and invade the Monyan Plains from the Moonglade.

Despite the stubborn resistance of the elves to the sudden invasion of the demons, the army of the demons swept through the forest of the moon. Tamuz, the Demon Lord of Fire, set fire to the Tree of Life, the hometown of many elves, and spewed out the forest with fierce rain.
Miya blamed herself for the tragedy. She wanted to protect her people by avoiding war, but she did not act, resulting in more casualties. So she prayed day and night in the Temple of the Moon, hoping that the great Moon Goddess would give her her enlightenment and guide her on the difficult path ahead.

However, the sleeping moon goddess did not give Miya the enlightenment she had hoped for, and the light of the moon forest darkened day by day. Estes and some other elves began to weaken as the moon's energy weakened. Orcs and demons led by Valmond in the distance gathered in Stormy Wastes. This time, their target was not the Monyan Empire, but Moonwood itself.
Miya had no choice, with the great Moon Goddess still sleeping and Estes's vitality dwindling. Whether she was ready or not, battle had finally found her. She was obliged to take on the role of Priestess of the Moon and lead her people in the defense of their nation. When the sound of orc war drums was heard approaching, the warriors of the Moonlit Forest sounded a horn not heard in thousands of years. Miya, the Moon Priestess, took up her silver bow and joined her people in the moonlight battle.
