A bit of the story...
The story begins with two mercenaries, Astor and Camila (details on them below here), entering an old military fort to find a man who has hired them as body guards. This man, James Davinport, is a scholar who has been investigating oddities in the local wildlife. However, they find that he is under attack by a strange group of men who appear to be part of a cult. This cult utilizes strange magic which Astor and Camila have never seen before. As it turns out, Davinport has found evidence of the arrival of strange new creatures, which he believes are demons. For an unknown reason, the cult was sent to silence him, and failed due to Astor and Camila’s interception.
The king of Kestonia, King Arrett, refuses to believe Davinport’s discovery. Due to an unlikely attack from the neighbouring kingdom of Thyrston, Kestonia is about to go to war. If they fail to get King Arrett to believe Davinport’s research, the kingdom may not be prepared for the demons’ attack.
The reluctant heroes find themselves mixed between countless threats - from Kestonia’s war, to the cult’s dangerous presence, and the looming demon threat. Only with the power of the people will they be able to keep their kingdom safe.
The Four Protagonists
Astor Myriad is an axe-wielding mercenary who works in the family business, Myriad Mercenaries. He was once a soldier, but he realized that soldiers are simply treated as pawns in someone else’s game, abandoning the kingdom’s cause. He is a relaxed man who lives his life “well enough.” After questioning his faith in the King, Astor’s only allegience is to his family. Gameplay-wise, he is the most balanced, having the largest variety of attack skills while not being a master of anything in particular.
Camila O’Hara is the runaway daughter of a noble Thyrstonian family. She is the most well-educated character of the four, and she is an expert on war and politics. Having been raised by rich, protective parents, Camila is easily excitable and is always eager to try new things, often without much forethought. Gameplay-wise, Camila dominates with her spear, dishing out powerful melee attacks. She also has the best healing spells.
Tevan Balmund is a squire who lived most of his life in the Luminous Citadel, the base of a religious organization that believes in the goddess Lumina. Being the youngest of the group, Tevan is very inexperienced and has many fears. Due to his sheltered growth under the Followers of Lumina, Tevan is very narrow-minded and has little empathy for other peoples’ beliefs. He also has poor social skills, often crudely insulting people without knowing it. Gameplay-wise, Tevan can take heavier damage than the other party members. He utilizes Holy magic and is also the game’s best buffer/debuffer. Wielding a staff, he has the least melee skills, instead utilizing unique status effects.
Vallure is an elven magician and standalone mercenary who is inarguably one of the best in the business. As the oldest, most experienced member of the group, she is very jaded and distrusting. She has attachment issues, adamantly guarding her past and personal life from anyone who would dare ask. She has a twisted view of justice, and usually makes choices on her own accord, rarely asking the group for input before doing something that may jeopardize a person’s life. Gameplay-wise, Vallure mainly utilizes Dark magic and is an expert on inflicting and healing status ailments. Her special sword attacks usually hit more than one target and sometimes inflict ailments and debuffs.
