48 Sacrifices

The 48 Sacrifices are people that died before the Ghosts were formed from the last surviving cluster of the Great War before Tet became the One True God under the command of Riku Dola.

History
Before Tet declared the surviving cluster of Corone Dola as Imanity, humanity existed with no reason to live but only to survive each living day of The Great War.

Families and individuals who survived gathered inside a cave isolated from the other races. With no information or detection to probable danger, a reconnaissance group (Riku as their leader) roams the surrounding area in search of remnants or ruins left behind the other races in order to assess the war.

However, places they traveled to lie traps and harmful entities such as Demonia puts the group in danger. Having little chance of survival, individuals are left behind to be sacrificed in order for the group to survive. The victims total to 48 hence, the name 48 sacrifices.

48 Sacrifices
When Schwi Dola mentioned that why humanity survived despite their incapabilities and deemed it incomprehensible that they were still able to exist, this angered Riku complaining about how they see themselves as higher beings with no regard waging war without seeing the consequence. Pushed from the guilt of the recent event of Ivan's death, he mentioned 47 other names he sacrificed on his orders in order to survive.
