Worldview and story
Four Warriors of Light on an adventure through the Crystal ## DESC Four Warriors of Light on an adventure through the Crystal
After the death of the great alchemist who proposed the creation of the Crystal, the founder of all things, 5000 years have passed since.
The light of the crystal still does not shine on the earth, and a barren wilderness called the “Blood Sands” spreads out, and the great north-south rift, drilled by the arrows of giants, separates the cultures of the east and west. In the midst of the land wasted by years of warfare and “bloodsands,” there was only one land blessed with water and greenery. That place is Brass, the city of alchemy, where the story begins.
One evening… One evening… a dazzling ball of light appears in the ancient ruins on the outskirts of Brass, illuminating the night sky.
The next morning, Claire, who is studying the ruins as an alchemist apprentice, receives a request to investigate the damage.
