The land of Valeria is in a state of constant tension between the three nations that populate it. The Gargastan people, which constitute the majority, find themselves in a turbulent political situation. The Walstanian minority is being oppressed by the more powerful neighbors. The king of Bacrum, a nation that considered itself Valeria's elite, eventually gained the upper hand in the struggle, and managed to establish an era of peace and stability. All this ended when mysterious accidents began to plague the royal family. A new conflict arose, and eventually led to the ethnic cleansing of the Walstanians. Denim Powell, one of the survivors, embarks on a quest for revenge against those who slaughtered his people.

The Conflict of Valeria

The stage of the game is Valeria, an archipelago formed of 15 islands. It has flourished since ancient times as a hub for maritime trade, but it is also a land where ethnic conflicts over hegemony never cease.

However, the entire Valeria archipelago was once unified by a man named Dorgalua. With the emergence of this wise king, a stable reign finally began, but he had no successor. After the king's death, the nation split once again, and ethnic conflicts resumed.

Three ethnic groups are in conflict. The story begins with the minority Walister people cornered by the other groups.

Kingdom of Galgastan

A nation of the Galgastani people, flourishing mainly in the Coritanae region. The ruler is Cardinal Balbatos, famous for being a ruthless man.

The Walister People

The smallest ethnic group within the Valeria archipelago. They are led by a man named Duke Ronwey. Currently, they are not formed as a nation.

Kingdom of Bakram-Valeria

A nation of the Bakram people, flourishing mainly in the Barnicia region. They expanded their power with the help of the great nation to the north of Valeria, the Holy Lodis Empire.

The real power is held by the regent, High Priest Brantyn, and Lanselot, the commander of the Dark Knights dispatched from Lodis. Brantyn's actions as ruler are constantly monitored and restricted by Lanselot.

Beliefs in Valeria

In this world, there are elements called Alignment and Element that are deeply involved in shaping people's personalities.

Alignment

The elements of "freedom and restriction" within the heart constitute Alignment.

•

Darkness: The power that leads to chaos because of the pursuit of freedom. Ruled by the dark god Asmodee, it stands in opposition to the power of light.

•

Light: The power that attempts to maintain order through discipline and restriction. It guides toward a holy path. Ruled by Ishtal, the goddess of light and war.

The Zeteginean Calendar

Life in Valeria is conducted using a calendar called the Zeteginean Calendar. Its correspondence with the solar calendar is as follows. Months in blue text enter the rainy season, while months in red enter the dry season.

•

Month of the Divine Dragon: 1/1-1/24

•

Month of the Earth Dragon: 1/25-2/18

•

Month of the Water Dragon: 2/19-3/13

•

Month of the Shadow Dragon: 3/14-4/6

•

Month of the White Dragon: 4/7-5/1

•

Month of the Flame Dragon: 5/2-5/25

•

Month of the Wind Dragon: 5/26-6/18

•

Month of the Gold Dragon: 6/19-7/13

•

Month of the Thunder Dragon: 7/14-8/6

•

Month of the Dark Dragon: 8/7-8/30

•

Month of the Sea Dragon: 8/31-9/24

•

Month of the Black Dragon: 9/25-10/18

•

Month of the Twin Dragons: 10/19-11/11

•

Month of the Fire Dragon: 11/12-12/6

•

Month of the Light Dragon: 12/7-12/31

Elements

Elements are the four components that make up the world. People will receive the lifelong protection of one of the gods who rule over these. Water and Fire, Wind and Earth, exist in opposing relationships that repel each other.

•

Water: A power that works particularly strongly in water-related lands such as rivers, seas, and wetlands. It is ruled by the jealous virgin goddess, Gruza.

•

Fire: Although there are few terrains strongly influenced by it, it is one of the essential powers for people's lives. It is ruled by the wise god Zoshonell.

•

Earth: A power that bestows blessings upon those who dwell on the earth. Most terrains are influenced by this. It is ruled by Bertha, who is also the goddess of fertility.

•

Wind: Although not as much as water or earth, it is a power that gradually influences most terrains. It is ruled by Hahnela, who is also the guardian deity of the sea.
