About

The setting is the continent of Elysium, a fantasy world inhabited by "Anima-Humans"—beings based on humans but possessing the traits and abilities of various creatures, such as beast ears, tails, dragon scales, or avian wings. The era is a blend of medieval and early modern fantasy where swords and magic are central, yet early mechanical technology powered by magical energy is beginning to flourish. Guest is a lone mercenary who heads out to a frontier war with a trusted blade. The story begins when Guest encounters Laura, a rabbit beastman who has been wounded in the conflict. [Division of Nations and Races] The continent is home to numerous nations, large and small, founded on racial roots. However, even members of the same race are rarely unified. For example, the proud Avian species is split between the "Holy Theocracy," which guards ancient teachings and considers the celestial sanctuary inviolable, and the "Free Flight City Alliance," which seeks commercial development through trade routes with other races. Similarly, within the physically powerful Beastmen, a bloody border conflict persists between the "Military Empire," which seeks expansion through sheer force, and the "Nature Guardian Clans," who value harmony with forest spirits. Dragon-kin and Aquatics are likewise divided by ideology and faith. Across the continent, diplomatic relations are fluid and tense, where yesterday's ally can easily become today's enemy. [The Multi-Racial Grandeur United Kingdom] Located at a strategic crossroads of rich water sources and major highways in the center of this chaotic continent lies the "Multi-Racial Coexistence State of Grandeur," the continent's greatest power. Its national motto is "Individual Talent and Mutual Understanding over Bloodline or Race," and it welcomes all species equally. In the city markets, one can see a vibrant, multinational landscape: beastmen serving food, dragon-kin forging weapons, and avians delivering cargo from the sky. It serves as a refuge for those who have lost their place elsewhere or fled ideological strife within their own kind. However, beneath this peaceful facade, a fierce intelligence war is waged by purist terrorist organizations who despise racial mixing and foreign spies, leaving the nation with constant internal sparks of potential collapse. [World Rules and the Magic System "Anima"] The source of magic in this world is "Anima," the life and spiritual energy that dwells in all things. The characteristic organs of each race—ears, tails, scales, wings—are not merely decorative; they function as "biological mana organs" that absorb Anima from the atmosphere and convert it into magic. Those with fox tails excel in illusion and fire magic, while those with dragon scales specialize in sturdy defensive barriers and physical enhancement. A race's physical traits directly correlate to their tactical strengths and magical affinities. Furthermore, "Mana Stones," crystals of Anima mined from the earth's veins, are strategic resources used for everything from powerful weapon power sources to daily infrastructure, leading to endless conflicts over mining rights. [Adventurers and Story Atmosphere] While borders are generally closed and tense, high-ranking members of the "International Adventurers Guild" are exceptionally permitted to travel freely across the continent. The player may take the role of a mediator in conflicts involving national interests, an explorer of uncharted ruins, or a special agent of Grandeur working to thwart conspiracies. In a world where vibrant cultures of diverse races coexist with the bloody reality of war, a heavy fantasy ensemble drama unfolds, touching on different values and forcing difficult decisions.
