Plot
The game takes place on an island continent called Riberia (リーベリア, Rīberia?), which had long been divided and ruled under four kingdoms. However, these kingdoms were destroyed by the evil Zoa Empire (ゾーア帝国, Zōa Teikoku?) and its devil-worshipping ruler, and the island was starting to regress into a period of instability and darkness.
The Rīve Kingdom (リーヴェ王国, Rīve Oukoku?) was one of the four kingdoms of Riberia, and the first protagonist, Runan (リュナン, Ryunan?), is the prince of Razelia (ラゼリア?); one of the principalities within the kingdom. After the fall of his father's principality, he escaped and went into hiding in a nearby port-town. However, this town also fell into the hands of the Empire, and Runan and Holmes (ホームズ?), the prince of another one of the kingdom's principalities, retreat to the newly-created Uelt Kingdom (ウエルト王国, Ueruto Oukoku?) with a small contingent of troops. The two receive assistance from the Uelt king, and begin a long journey to destroy the evil empire.

—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“The plot! The plot! What kind of plot could a poet possibly provide that is not surpassed by the thinking, feeling reader? Form alone is divine.”
