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.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Ends in themselves, my letters plot no change;
They carry nothing dutiable; they won’t
Aspire, astound, establish or estrange.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
