For fifteen years the Holy Lodis Empire has occupied the island of Ovis, forcing conversion to Lodisism on its population. The southern region of Anser has adapted, its citizens quietly prospering through trade with the mainland. The northern region of Rananculus — surrounded by mountains and dense forests — submitted without resistance and has since been reduced to sparse settlements of a few nobles and civilians.
Into this tense political landscape steps Alphonse, a young member of the Order of the Sacred Flame and the game's protagonist. Dispatched to investigate a mysterious incident in Rananculus, Alphonse finds himself drawn into a web of religious conflict, personal loyalties, and moral compromise that will permanently alter the course of his life. The people he meets in this remote northern territory will challenge everything the Order taught him.
