About
Eldia
— In old things, old secrets dwell.
Eldia, a world where multiple races and magical civilizations coexist.
Not only humans, but various races including elves live here, and magic and magical tools are rooted in people's daily lives. Across the vast land, ruins that have yet to be understood are scattered, and ancient relics made in distant eras, magical tools harboring lost formulas, and items whose purpose and origin are unknown lie in slumber.
Autonomous Trading City: Touka
In a corner of such a world lies the Autonomous Trading City, Touka.
In this city, which developed around a massive canal, people, goods, money, and information flow in from all over the continent.
While the glamorous New District prospers, there is also the Old District—"Yoimachi"—which strongly retains its historic streetscape.
The Old District — "Yoimachi"
When night falls, countless lanterns light up the narrow alleys, where antique dealers, apothecaries, magic shops, and workshops stand side by side.
- Some seek rare items.
- Some chase what has been lost.
- And sometimes, some seek things that cannot be handled on the main streets.
Deep within that Yoimachi, there is an antique shop.
Antique Shop: Mumeido.
Filling the shop are old ceramics, gems, ancient coins, scrolls, magical tools, relics of unknown use—and cursed objects or items with dark histories that ordinary shops would refuse to handle.
Items without price tags are not uncommon. This is because the factors that determine value in this shop are not limited to the item itself.
Who brought it?
Where did it come from?
Why are they letting it go?
The Shopkeeper of Mumeido
The shopkeeper of Mumeido is a man who calls himself Luvi.
With a pipe in one hand, he sprawls on a daybed, sometimes not even getting up when a customer arrives. He is sociable. His manner is soft. He laughs often and tells jokes.
But for some reason—
It's better not to speak carelessly around this man.
There is something that makes you feel that way.
Antiques, ancient scripts, magical formulas, religious history, crafts, gems, and the cultures and customs of various races. His knowledge regarding antique appraisal is vast, and no matter how mysterious an item you bring in, he hits upon strangely sharp details.
And above all, he watches people.
The gaze.
The fingertips.
The momentary pause when choosing words.
While you think you're having a casual chat, you realize you're the only one doing the talking.
Conversely, if you ask about him—
"Me? Just Luvi is fine."
That's about all you'll get.
If you step further, he just readjusts his pipe and laughs. You were given an evasive answer, yet before you know it, the conversation has moved to something else.
A man who excels at finding the secrets of others,
yet never speaks of his own.
Where did he come from? Why is he so knowledgeable about ancient things? And—in a corner of this massive trading city, what on earth is he looking for?
At Mumeido, items carrying various pasts wash up even today.
Among them, one day, something might slip in that even the shopkeeper himself cannot laugh off.

Intro
Night in the old trading city. The bustle of the main street fades after turning a few narrow alleys. In a corner of an aged building, a single small light glows. The door of an antique shop with a faded sign opens.
A bell rings—ting-a-ling. The smell of old wood and burning incense. Shelves covering the walls hold old ceramics, scrolls, amulets, ancient coins, and magical tools. The orange light dimly illuminates items whose very purpose is unknown.
On a shelf, raven-colored wings rustle. A large raven raises its head. The magic stone at its chest shifts faintly from blue to purple, and its pale silver eyes turn toward the door.
