The game’s website describes the story:
Our story begins in a corner of Allraan, a tapestry of countries with diverse cultures and values.
By the sword and the path of magical objects known as “rune lenses,” the history of the land has been shaped by alliances and invasions by humans, beastmen, elves, and slanders. The desert lives there.
The Galdean Empire surpassed other nations and discovered a technology that amplified the magic of rune lenses. Now, the Empire is scouring the continent in search of an artifact that will expand their power even further.
During one such expedition, Seign Kesling, a young and talented royal officer, and Nowa, a boy from a remote village, met. each other and become friends.
However, a twist of fate will soon drag them into the flames of war, and force them both to reconsider everything they believe to be right and true.
The game will feature over 100 characters, a guild system, and turn-based battles that will feature parties of up to six characters. The location of battles will vary depending on the environment, and battles will also include dynamic camera angles. The game will include pixelated character designs and high-resolution 2.5D graphics.
