Introduction

Within our own world, the legend of Castlevania is well known, as are its Belmonts. For centuries, they battled against the blood-thirsty Dracula—but their time has long passed. An organization known only as Ecclesia has since come into being, and it aims to forever annihilate the fearsome vampire's soul. Their means to an end include magical spells known as Glyphs, but that's about all anyone knows of them. Everything else is a mystery...
