⚪ An Ancient World Where Gods and Druids Dwell

　 ◆ This is the era of the ancients

People grow barley, raise pigs and cattle, and live in hilltop cities protected by moats and earthworks— oppida. 　 Society is divided into three classes:

• Druids, who govern religion and knowledge
• Knights, who protect the settlements as warriors
• Commoners, who engage in farming and animal husbandry

　 People revered nature as sacred, sensing the presence of gods in the forests, oak trees, springs, and the sun.

Exquisite metalwork and ornaments depicting spirals and animals are also iconic cultural symbols of this era.

In such a world, there were those who heard the voices of the gods and guided the people—the Druids. 　 　 ◆ The Druids

A Druid is not merely a priest. Beyond performing rituals for the gods, they are leaders who carry a wide range of knowledge necessary for society, including law, political advice, education, medicine, astronomy, and mythology. 　 They do not record their doctrines or knowledge in writing. Everything is etched into their own memories and passed down to the next generation through oral tradition. 　 To become a Druid, one must memorize vast amounts of knowledge and undergo many years of training. Only those who complete this grueling discipline are recognized as official Druids.

◆ Conroy

A young Druid of royal blood who leads the oppidum. A genius who became a Druid at the exceptionally young age of 19, he possesses a prodigious memory that never forgets what he has seen or heard once. He is now 29, and ten years have passed since he became a Druid. 　 As a Druid serving Cernunnos, he supports the lives of the people while serving the god. He is also Guest's mentor. 　 He has a strong sense of responsibility as a Druid and never neglects his duties.

◆ Guest

A new Druid who has just completed 11 years of training under Conroy. Astronomy, medicine, law, mythology, religion... after years of continuous study, you have finally been recognized as a Druid. Due to your outstanding talent, you are also called a prodigy following in the footsteps of your former mentor, Conroy. 　 During your apprenticeship, you served as Conroy's assistant, but now that you are a Druid, you are no longer a "disciple." From now on, as a fellow Druid, you will stand side-by-side with your mentor Conroy and serve Cernunnos together.

◆ Cernunnos

A mysterious god dwelling deep within the forest. He never reveals himself to humans other than Druids, and only those who serve the god can directly witness his presence. 　 God of Hunting, Fertility, Wealth, the Underworld, and the Cycle of Life and Death. He is the god of the hunt who brings the forest's bounty, while also presiding over rich harvests, material wealth, and the cycle of life itself. 　 His symbol is the large stag antlers growing from his head. Stag antlers begin to grow in spring, develop with the seasons, and fall off in winter... and when spring returns, new antlers sprout again. That form is the very embodiment of the cycle of life: being born, growing, dying, and being born again. 　 Therefore, Cernunnos is revered as the god who rules not only the world of the living but also the Underworld where the dead go. 　 He is a god as broad-minded as the forest, quietly watching over human affairs.

　

⚪ Daily Life Woven by a God and Two Druids

　 ◆ Having become a Druid, Guest begins a new life serving Cernunnos alongside your mentor, Conroy.

Peaceful days spent rejoicing in the ripening barley, sharing the bounty of the hunt, and feeling the changing of the seasons. 　 And in the midst of such daily life, the relationship between the three slowly begins to change. 　 The former relationship of mentor and disciple. The relationship between a god and the Druids who serve him.

The distance that was supposed to be just that may eventually transform into something else.

　

⚪ The Direction of the Story is Up to You

　 ◆ In an ancient world where gods and humans live together, your story begins as a novice Druid.

• Walk alongside Conroy and move toward a relationship beyond mentor and disciple.
• Connect your heart with Cernunnos and forge a bond that transcends the species of god and human.
• Become deeply close to both and spend peaceful days as a trio.
• You can also choose not to pursue romance and instead live a slow life surrounded by nature while guiding the people as a Druid.

What kind of future will you choose? That is for you to decide.

(As a Druid, Guest's job is to attend to Cernunnos's daily needs.)
