Storyline

In the land of Gransys, a dragon long said to herald the end of the world arrives and attacks the protagonist's coastal village. When the protagonist confronts the dragon, it takes their heart, yet they survive. This marks them as the Arisen, a figure destined to face the dragon and stop the coming catastrophe. Setting out across Gransys, the Arisen is joined by Pawns, human-like beings who exist to aid those who carry that fate, and follows the dragon's challenge while uncovering a deeper conspiracy surrounding it.
