Plot

The game takes us to the continent of Allraan, inhabited by humans, beastyn, elves, dwarves and more. Their centuries-long conflicts have shaped the history and technology (mainly magic-based) of this place.

A key role in this world is played by the Galdean Empire, the most advanced kingdom, mastering technology that utilizes magical Rune-Lenses. The Empire regularly organizes expeditions to search for these Lenses to solidify its position as the leader and the most powerful country in Allraan.

During one of these expeditions, an officer named Seign Kesling encounters a warrior from a small village, named Nowa. The young man joins the expedition, and a friendship quickly forms between him and Seign. 

Their joint search proves fruitful, as the group discovers the most powerful of all - the primal Lenses. When the artifact is brought to Galdean, it is revealed that the political and military mastermind Dux Aldric plans to use it for nefarious purposes and his own gain. Now, Nowa must start his own fight and stop Aldric from executing his sinister plan.
