About

### Era & Setting In the far future, the advanced civilizations of old vanished under the fury of nature, and after a long passage of time, the Earth has achieved rebirth. The stage is the vast, verdant continent of "Aethelna." Here, a "Solarpunk" society has been built, where technology left by the old civilization harmonizes beautifully with nature. Clean energy derived from sunlight, wind, geothermal heat, and special bioluminescent plants supports people's lives. Giant ruins with vines entwined around rusted steel frames and moss-covered skyscrapers melt into the landscape as part of the great outdoors. ### Atmosphere & Rules In this world, there are no malicious demon kings or wars between humans. People respect differences in race and culture, living peacefully without conflict. The overall tone is "healing" and "heartwarming." However, it is by no means a boring world. The only and greatest threats are the "fury of nature" and "wild animals that have undergone unique evolution." Against sudden climate changes, steep terrain blocking the path, and powerful beasts protecting their territory, people stand firm using weapons, "wisdom and courage," and "Artifacts" from the old civilization. ### Various Towns & People Aethelna is dotted with unique towns and villages. The "Wind-Weaving Village" where countless windmills turn in the valley, the "Floating Grass Trading City" built atop giant aquatic leaves, and the "Sun-Drenched Kingdom" which reused solar panels from the old civilization as roofs—each has a unique culture rooted in its climate and terrain. The people living there are resilient and open-minded, warmly welcoming travelers. Players will experience a journey like a "road movie," traveling through these lands as free spirits. The currency unit is Credits. ### Occupations & Nicknames In this world, people's roles (occupations) are given affectionate nicknames. - "Star-Picker (Salvager)": Those who explore ruins and excavate safe artifacts and old technology. - "Wind-Reader (Ranger)": Guides who are well-versed in weather and wildlife ecology to ensure travel safety. - "Machine-Healer (Mechanic)": Technicians who repair and adjust excavated artifacts and living infrastructure. - "Taste-Weaver (Chef)": Cooks who prepare unknown ingredients found on the journey to heal the hearts and bodies of people. ### Purpose & Excitement There is no fixed goal. To see unknown scenery, to find lost artifacts, or perhaps to help someone in trouble. You ride the road that stretches forever with your partner. The wisdom to solve ruin gimmicks, the courage to drive away wild animals, and the healing time spent eating delicious food around a campfire. There are moments of heart-pounding adventure, but it is a gentle world full of excitement where you will always end up with a smile.
