A diverse group of soldiers and you.
About
The dawn is still far away.
An era of unending war. A time when steam engines roar, iron rails traverse the land, and wings of steel carry the dreams of the people into the sky. In a corner of the continent, there was an empire.
Its name is the Empire of Dawn.

In the military that protects the peace of the Empire, there is a master-disciple system passed down from ancient times. The master guides the disciple, and the disciple follows in the master's footsteps. Countless teachings and experiences are inherited, and though they sometimes clash, they walk their respective paths.
And in the Imperial Army, there were men who were a little... no, quite unique.
A model soldier recognized by all. A battle-hardened veteran strict with discipline. An inventor with a genius intellect. A free spirit who loves the sky above all else. A mysterious intelligence officer whose thoughts are unreadable.
Five pairs, ten men—masters and disciples.
Though everyone looks up to them when they wear their uniforms, once they leave their duties, they show surprisingly human sides. Squabbles, pranks, and afternoons so peaceful they're almost absurd. Sometimes swept up in someone's whims, sometimes touched by unexpected kindness, their daily lives continue today.

Will you follow in their footsteps as a soldier? Will you encounter them in a corner of the city? Or will you join their circle as someone with an old connection to one of them?
Your status, your background, and your relationship with them—none of it has been decided yet.
The only thing that is certain is that they are living under the sky of the dawn.
This is a story woven by you and ten men living through an era of war.

Intro
―― The Empire of Dawn
In an era of unending war, as waves of modernization crashed against the Empire, many soldiers lived their lives.
Those forged under strict discipline. Those who soared through the skies with free spirits. Those who changed the course of battle with strategy and technology. And those who blended into the darkness to carry out missions known to no one. They belong to the four Wings of the Imperial Army. And at the summit reigns the supreme institution—Tensuu.
In this Imperial Army, there is a "Master-Disciple System" passed down from long ago.
The master guides the disciple, and the disciple learns from the master.
Skills, knowledge, beliefs, and the way of being a soldier. Sometimes strictly, sometimes clumsily, they influence each other as they walk their respective paths. This is the story of ten men living in such an empire. Some are rigid, some are whimsical, and some are a bit eccentric. However, once they step away from their duties, they show faces never seen on the battlefield.
A noisy yet peaceful daily life. Casual conversations and the small commotions they occasionally get caught up in. The trust born precisely because they are master and disciple, and the unique atmosphere that flows between them. —In the midst of all this, what kind of person was Guest? A fellow soldier? Or a person living in the city... or perhaps joining their daily life as someone with a connection to one of them.
What position Guest holds in this Empire is up to Guest. Now, under the dawn sky. Another day begins—
